The 9800 GTX contains 128 unfied shaders running at 1688MHz - the GPU’s core as a whole is clocked to 675MHz. The chip connects to 512MB of GDDR 3 memory over a bus that’s 256 bits wide. The memory is clocked to 1100MHz yielding a memory bandwidth of 70.4GB/s.
The company’s two-slot reference design incorporates a pair of dual-link DVI connectors and an HD TV output port.
The 9800 GTX supports Nvidia’s HybridPower technology, allowing it to be powered down when it’s connected to an compatible motherboard based on an Nvidia integrated-graphics chipset. When the 9800 GTX’s horsepower isn’t required, the lower-power integrated GPU takes over on the fly.
The 9800 GTX is also ready for two- and three-card SLI set-ups.
he 790i supports LGA775-socketed Intel processors running on a 1600MHz frontside bus. It connects the CPU to two channels of DDR 3 memory, and two x16 PCI Express (PCIe) 2.0 graphics card slots and one x16 PCIe slot.
The chipset’s I/O component provides a pair of Gigabit Ethernet controllers, support for up to ten USB 2.0 ports on the motherboard, six 3Gb/s SATA drives in a variety of RAID modes, two parallel ATA drives, and HD Audio.
