BFG Geforce 9800 GTX+ OC

[zoolander070]

I still run this card on my computer, it runs CoH, Medieval all really good its never crapped on me either

[pumaoma1]

eine 3 Jahre Alte Grafikkarte das war der Renner 2008. jetzt würde sie kaum mit halten können bei dem aktuellsten spielen .aber für mein p4 wär das noch was .der im keller steht .zur der zeit 2008 wusste noch keiner das es 2011 die ati HD 7000 serie gibt das ist das Beste was Amd Bieten kann

[SparkySlow]

shit music , fuck you

[name991]

I bought this video card for $62 on ebay auction and payed $13 for shipping and it cost me a tottal of $75. It is used but it works good and is in perfect condition. Then i payed another $60 for 650 watt corsair PSU for my graphics card. I saved so much money lol. So lucky. The only thing that hold my card back is my AMD Athlon 64 x2 5000+ at 2.6 GHz. And I am planning on buying Phenom II x4.

[94svenni]

i think i have a problem my computer is overheatin allot so ther comes this sounds/beeping sounds then it says its overheating i cant play a good game whitout it making a sound i need help:S can someone help me???

[snake10566]

@94svenni check your temps. Also, the beeping sounds is probably a code. If you find the book for your motherboard you can find what the code is saying. I use 'core temp' to see my cpu temps but you can also find them in the bios.

[94svenni]

@snake10566 yea it was the temp i just yoused compressed air gun to clean all the dust inside my computer,the dust maked the cpu and all of the computer to overheat so thats why the veeping souunds where there to tell me that its overheating i think. thx for the information but you are a little late:P

[snake10566]

@94svenni Yeah, i noticed after i posted that it was pretty old lol

[IvIast3er]

i have the same exact card bfg 9800 gtx+ OC but i have one 6 pic connector instead of 2 and mine is a hybrid card so when I'm watching 1080p on youtube it can lag if it doesn't kick in....

and what speed is your CPU?

[IvIast3er]

lol i have the same exact ard 9800 gtx+ oc from bfg but i only have one 6 pin connector needed =D ...unfornatly mine is a hybird card so when watching 1080P HD on youtube it can lagg if it dosent reconize it and kick it.....

[7thNCtrooper2]

I have the same card, but it only requires on 6-pin connector? That is weird.

[sriharsha103]

Can we play CRYSIS game with this card.

How much it cost you?

When did you buy it?

[xy274]

u could've gotten an ati card that is cheaper and faster than the 9800gtx......well atleast nvidia is well built.

[anonymous345]

@xy274

I bought this in August 2008.. there was no cheaper equivalent ati card. The only one was the 4850 (at that time they were around $180), and that was slower, hotter, and had less features (physx, cuda, etc). Besides, this came with a rebate so it ended up being cheaper as well.

[xy274]

@anonymous345 well what card do u have now?

[anonymous345]

@xy274

still using the same one on this video

[snake10566]

@anonymous345 To this day I am still running this card. I like it, and it runs games I play without a problem.

[uza3]

@anonymous345 can i have it?

lol

[bigduey69]

@xy274 , ati and the radeon series are garbage dude, NVIDIA pwns all..

[xy274]

@bigduey69 i dont really have a side to which graphic card company is better. to tell you the truth....i never had an ati card.

[vivelehardcore]

@xy274 yeah ur right im probably going to buy an ati hd5870 what i like about radeons is the HDMI port its awesome and they are cheap



[xy274]

@vivelehardcore Iv never used an Ati card, but im thinking of buying my next card from ati.

[coakisit]

how good is their customer services/support?

[anonymous345]

@coakisit

I don't know I never had to deal with customer support, no problems at all

[7thNCtrooper2]

@coakisit 24/7 365 and they know what they are doing. I had an issue, but it was a PICNIC problem (Problem In Chair Not In Computer).

[jadedolino]

what is the model number?

[jadedolino]

what is the model number for this one

[punisher2892]

a 500W power supply can handle this video card well??

[anceintsz]

@punisher2892 yeah

[anceintsz]

@punisher2892 A 500w can hold just about any card 512mb or below, 1gb and up requires more power.

[kstar132]

Why do you add your fag songs, just want to know about the card.

[xy274]

@kstar132 JUST MUTE IT.

[LLOYD19851012]

im getting this card just to use for physx.

[fusionzfx]

Great card !

[aschris87]

geforce rocks ati go eat my brown shit...

[KacperGodfather]

haha my ati 4890 eat this shit on breakfast

[drakio99]

haha thats their top end card and it cost $100 to $150 dollars more than the 9800gtx+ if your comparing the best lets see how a 4890 does against a gtx285 2gb verison

[TrueYears]

@drakio99 or a 5970?

[drakio99]

@TrueYears ? or a 5970 ? well im not sure what your asking if your asking if a 5970 is better than a 9800gtx+ the answer is YES the 5970 is a next gen card and beats all the Nvidias other cards except the gtx 295 but when Nvidia gets their next gen cards They will Destroy atis but will probably cost more Idk .......

[TrueYears]

Uhmm No the 5970 beats the 295  Please look at the benchmarks and if you have PAID attention to their spokemans, they cant for some reason make a card stronger than the 5970.When Company ADMITS they cant make something to beat the 5970, then you know somethiong is wrong. AND asuming they EVEN released a 300 series but we all know how Nvidia loves re-branding their cards oh the 310 ( only available to OEMS ) is actually a 210 =/..................... One words: Benchmarks

[TrueYears]

gefore styley i got told the gtx 260 i realy a 9800gtx2...?

[madzane94]

everything.....

6pin....lol dvi - vga convertor and the card it self...* converter didn't com with the card*

i baught an open box version

[anonymous345]

So was this an upgrade, where the pc has worked before, or is this a completely new system that you haven't tested yet?

[madzane94]

when i install my 9800gtx+ bfg nothing comes on the screen it's all blank..i also get no hardware failure beeps...and the fan spins...can som1 pm me with a solution plz

[anonymous345]

my first thought is to check if everything is plugged in

[riotmaker101]

gunna get that card with my new system 1gb ;)

[XElement896]

i have a bfg 250 gts and it is supose to be a 9800 but with 1gb thats what i heard

[anonymous345]

there are some 9800 GTX+ cards with 1 gb of memory

the main differences from a gts 250 are 9800 gtx+ (reference design) are the shorter pcb and lower core voltages for better power consumption.

[motocross321]

what song is this?

[allanhancock120]

I have an ANTEC power supply :)

[oc5nsli341nforce4]

For me BFG never again.

[Xelviellll]

Why do people make these videos?

[anonymous345]

why not? to show the packaging and what's included. If you want benchmarks then it is a simple matter to google it, showing you framerates I get in a game is useless if you don't have anything to compare it to as I only have 2 graphics cards right now, this and a 7950 GT.

[Xelviellll]

What is the point of making a unboxing video.

[anonymous345]

i just explained it in my reply

benchmark videos IMO are more useless unless there is a comparison between multiple cards

[Sascha41857]

Yeah! Nvidia is the best! And ATI is trash!

[zooropah82]

I have an Asus 9800 gtx + " Dark Knight " TOP. This TOP means that it comes slightly overclocked from the factory. I think its specs are:

core: 775 mhz

memory: 2360 mhz

Shader : 1950 mhz

The good thing is that the max overclocking you can get is slightly higher thant the non - "TOP" edition, but no big deal really. A bit more of texture fillrate , a little bit of this and that. Bit my opinion is, despite this card is huge and barely fits in my case, it's performance is satisfactory.

[essial]

I have this card. Its crazy good for the price. It runs all of my games (DMC4, Bioshock, UT3, etc) completely maxed out at 1280x1024. No artifacts, no problems whatsoever. In most games, you don't see pixels at all with 8q AA full screen. This is my favorite card by far.

[FSFchannel]

I just bought this card, its awsome! Fucking card artifiacts tho.. duno if i should RMA it or just keep it 'underclocked' by a bit

[anonymous345]

if it artifacts at stock speed then rma it

[FSFchannel]

heh.. Well, its really not a big deal, I dont even lose a FPS underclocking it

[zaibervaireus]

Ok, I fixed this by updating drivers.

[FSFchannel]

What driver version you using? I used the stock drivers and the beta 185.68 and the beta works better. My 9600 GT on the stock - 750 Core 1800 shader (oced) and on a beta driver - 800 Core; 1900 shader which is incredible considering its only a driver update. lol dirvers DAMN YOU DRIVERS.

[nicks1258]

hey guys i got a 512mb gddr2 xfx 99800gt can i sli it with this (9800gtx+ 1gb gddr3)? plz answer

[anonymous345]

what the hell is a 99800gt with GDDR2?

for sli, you need a sli motherboard with the sli bridge, and two IDENTICAL gpus

in short a 9800 GTS+ will only sli with another GTX+

with the gts 250 i'm not sure, i'll have to look up on that

[nicks1258]

ok u knew what i meant.

What i have is a XFX nVidia Ge-Force 9800GT with 512MB of DDR2 memory. What i would like to know is if i can link that card with a XFX nVidia Ge-Force 9800GTX+ with 1024MB of GDDR3 memory.

Can anyone help. Thankyou

There you happy?

[anonymous345]

ok that won't work

[costescuandrei1975]

I also ordered the 1gb version!

[DjDman205]

i got the 1 GB DDR3 same card but more ram

[xstreamkills]

asome nice vidoe card i cant what to get that very soon

[jackpotjz]

what color should the back of the gpu be if it has the ample energy it needs

[anonymous345]

my card has a little light, its yellowish green

[tkh1600]

how to check the graphic card temp??? also do you have same problem as i have the screen suddenly freeze and all graphic is mess up and computer is not work???

[aznturtle1]

google gpuz

[zaibervaireus]

I have that same problem. Not really sure what it is either.

[djshaun123]

is this card any bigger than the 8800 gts?

im getting this and i was unsure on how much power it needed till i watched this lol i have the same power supply :)

[anonymous345]

its quite a bit longer, i'm not sure by how much, but I'm guessing about an inch or 3 centimeters longer

[Gerardius]

Hi, does anybody get corrupt screens (blocks), and then system crashes, ramdomly with this card?

[anonymous345]

is your power supply adequate? what temperatures are you getting? I have no problems with mine

[Gerardius]

Yes, I have a 700 W. power wupply, and the max temperature is 67º Celsius. I bought an Asus 9800 GTX+ BK for substitution while I get the new BFG RMA card, and it works great. The nvidia formum is full of comments from people having the same screen corruption, and BFG offered me the replacement of the card. But send it to BFG has a cost of 89, 65 €, and I payed about 180,00 € for the card. I believe it's not fair. Excuse my bad english.

[stankykey]

this might sound like a weird question but how big is the metal brace thing on the back?

[anonymous345]

uhh... the same size as every other card

if it was a difference size then it won't fit in a atx case

[deathblad13]

just installed this G card, should i use evga precision ? just wondering

[anonymous345]

sure, why not? I use it

[1nazchan]

Hey man, I have the same card but I can't do those clocks your gettin !!

I'm using evga precision. I can only get 810/1890(stock, cant move it at all or glitches)/1242

:/

Is your clocks perfect? no artefacts??

[anonymous345]

try riva tuner if evga precision doesn't work well (they are made by the same person, but try it anyway)

or maybe you were just unlucky and got a video card that doesn't overclock well, most review sites get around what I get or even higher

[jackpotjz]

ty lol i thought it waz a problem wit da card

i already knew i needed a new psu just waz worried xD

[jackpotjz]

i got that same card but yours doesn't have the red light on the card when you tern it on what does the red light mean?

[anonymous345]

you didn't plug in 2 six pin pci-e power connectors from the power supple

[shirgit]

hey can you help me with one thing? i am wondering if i get this card, will it work with my 400 w powersupply , i know it needs 450?? btw is it any different between a an BFG or an GIGABYTE??? looking forward to your answer.

[anonymous345]

I wouldn't try it if I were you with a 400w power supple. BFG, gigabyte, EVGA, XFX, etc are board partners that manufacture the cards, it doesn't really matter, decide on price and warranty

[phillydam]

You need atleast 475w for it.

[shirgit]

well im getting a gigabyte 9800gtx+ maybe its not the same

[SmokeyRain0722]

If anyone could help with my issue. I appreciate any answers and Thank you in advance.

This is wanted custom PC:

-EVGA nForce 790i Ultra ATX

-EVGA GeForce 9800 GTX *OR* GTX+

-Intel Corde 2 QUAD Q6600 2.4 Ghz(I don't know what overclocked means but i want it to 3)

-Western D 1 TB 7200RPM

-LG Blu-Ray player

-CoolIT Systems PURE CPU 1000

-4GB of RAM then upgrading it to 8GB

Thanks to everyone again to take there time to read and post!O and playing on LCD/HDTV Sam 32" w HDMI or DVI

[anonymous345]

the problem is, what is your issue? How are people supposed to help you if they don't know what you want?

[SmokeyRain0722]

Very true, seems that is the main thing I forgot, apologies. But the issue is what range of a PSU of Wattage should I consider?

[anonymous345]

read the video description

[1nazchan]

The warranty is void if you over clock or change the cooler.

just got this card but the cooler is the other version

[anonymous345]

And? if you don't know the risks of overclocking then you shouldn't be doing it anyway. I don't see a reason to change the cooler, the reference one works very well.

[1nazchan]

No, I got the 2nd version of the cooler. have you seen it? it pushes air the opposite way... inside the case

[biohazardousbacon]

i heard that there are a lot of problems with the BFG card... have you been experiencing any problems with it lately cuz im thinking of getting the card (considering that my local computer parts store only has the BFG model.)

[anonymous345]

I have always bought BFG cards and I have never gotten a single problem. Anyway, they come with a lifetime warranty.

[Gerardius]

Yes, the lifetime consists in a RMA replacement, but sending the card with UPS, costs 89,65 € that I must pay, plus buy another card (I work with my computer and can't be two or three weeks without it). Its not fair that the user pays the consequences of a bad design.

[tame093]

Your PSU is fine for that video card? I have one PSU of 650w, I dont know if my psu will run this card... can some one help me with this, please.

[anonymous345]

My antec earthwatts 500 watt (seasonic made) PSU works fine for this card. See description for minimum PSU requirements

[tame093]

It says 12v and 26v, but your PSU says 24, and mine 25... I dont undertand---

[anonymous345]

my psu says 34

[Killabot123357]

no i only a a blah to blah adapter and a other cable

[Killabot123357]

o.o do you get a PCI-E power Adapter -.- i didnt get one

[deathblad13]

yes i did get one, weird that you didnt, where did you buy it from? if u can return it and get another one, could be someone returned it to the store or something and kept the wires

[Killabot123357]

Sincomp a store in germany

[anonymous345]

you're supposed to get a 2x molex to six pin pci-e adapter with the card.

I didn't use mine because my power supply has 2 six pin connectors

[deathblad13]

just bought the thing i love it, and of course bfg lifetime warranty is win

[kirban5]

yh i know its like ftw!!

[Killabot123357]

at 0:33 there u see the graphic car over te left screw is a LED this LED turn red when i put in my geforce 9800GTX+ why?? sorry for my bad english

[deathblad13]

about the light, not 100% sure, havent tested it out yet cause mobo is messed up so replacing that and its gonna take a bit

[anonymous345]

its because you didn't plug in 2 six ping pci-e connectors from the power supply

[gavster646]

Best thing about BFG guys us that if you buy a card a while back example 2 years ago and it breaks. You send it in for a RMA and you get a card back that is the same money value of the card you got 2 years ago. I sent in my 7950 and got back a 8800 GTS OC2. Lifetime Warranty is awesome :D

[adamhully]

Same here, my 7800GTX kinda exploded, they sent me an 8800GTS OC 320MB. Good stuff :D

[anonymous345]

"kinda exploded"?

what were you doing with it?

[adamhully]

Happily browsing a forum while it happened. I never overclocked it, it's idle temps were about 54C and 70C full load. It just popped, i could smell smoke so i sniffed around and found out that it was my GFX card.

[tamainemiller]

can somebody tell me what is ATI CrossfireX multi-gpu support is and what it do??

[anonymous345]

there are forums if you want to post this stuff

[lorenzo1234567891011]

ok well the card is better, but i dont have enough watt for it. i think.

[Hornet85]

Well, for those who're wondering, total 12v rail isn't adding up each individual rail amps. You have to see the total watts written on the spec, and divide that W by 12.

9800GTX+ is rated at 156W, which means it takes 13amps. The only remaining question would be how much amps is used by other hardware, and how close to the rated amps can your PSU provide.

If you have a very good PSU, you can get away with a lower than required PSU. Those min required PSU assumes you PSU average quality.

[anonymous345]

thx for explaining, where did you find out this info?

[kiba2447]

Can't wait to get this!

[mda40000]

yeah i got the EVGA 9800 GTX+ SC at 850 core 2000 shader , and 2400 memory as well, but the funny thing is( AND IM GOING TO GET A MORE POWERFUL ONE) is that im running it and a q6600 at 3.2 on a 400W Ultra XVS atx psu lol!

[FOOSAG]

Nice! I have the EVGA 9800 GTX and it's also great.. even though other cards overshadow the 9800 GTX, it's still an awesome and fast card.

[FadeRissing]

I have this card too and I love it :)) This card have a relly good OC potential...I OC it on 830 Mhz on Gpu,2053Mhz on shaders and 2412 Mhz on memory and it´s 100% works with no fragments with stock cooler...:)

[dunlrock]

I got the HD4850 over the 9800gtx+ :P

[AlexandreNegrao]

My BFG 9800GTX OCX (755/1150/1890 73.6GB/s) has overheating issues. I've opened an RMA with BFG...gonna ship it back so they can repleace it.

[sniper109]

Are there any advantages to buying the 9800 GTX+ Superclocked or is it just a pre-overclocked 9800 GTX+?

[anonymous345]

some factory overclocked gpus are handpicked for their stability at high clock speeds. If you have the money, go right ahead

[BDoubleZplayer]

I have the "BFG 9800GTX+ OC" edition and it comes stock with 765 core, 2200 Mem and 1800 shader. I can overclock it WAY beyond those speeds but I really dont have a reason to but I do anyway for fun. I would rather buy the OC'd edition and overclock it up to or past Superclocked edition and save the money, although IDK how much the superclocked costs, i didnt evem know there was one but its all good as I said I can clock mine up to around 870 core and beyond.

[anonymous345]

That's nice, I don't want to push mine much because I want a quiet and stable system

[dunlrock]

hey... i might replace my current card to 9800gtx... the problem is i got a 500W thermaltake psu (14A on rail1, 15A on rail2)... i tested 8800gt with my psu and it works fine. will 9800gtx work? I keep hearing stories of ppl getting 8800gt 's to work in 350W psus and 9800gtx in 450w...

[Destructo93]

The 8800GT works on a 300watt, I tested it.

And the 9800GTX+ Superclocked that I have says required 450W or above PSU so your fine man. cheers

[dunlrock]

i have 8800gt and it works fine but i REALLY dont know about 9800gtx on my psu.

note that my psu's 12vrail1 = 14A, 12vrail2 = 15A. and its supposedly rated as 500W

[anonymous345]

14+15= 29... you should be fine

I doubt you'll notice much of an increase from a 8800 GT to a 9800 GTX though, reviews do show it to be faster by quite a bit but nothing significant over a 8800 GT

[dunlrock]

hmm.. I was told rails dont add up... from what i read, rail1 is usually for the CPU, rail2 for molex, sata, and even pcie...

[anonymous345]

maybe I read wrong???

anyway, high power supply ratings are overrated, check out the latest article at the anandtech website.

if you run a 8800 GT, you will most likely run a GTX fine

[dunlrock]

alright thanks!

[Destructo93]

I'm not an expert on rails and stuff so I dont know about them...but I mean...it should work =D

[hockey14822]

I have a quad core (q6600) If I bought this card would my cpu be bottlenecking. If so what should I get. Thinking about upgrading my current gpu (ati radion hd 2400 pro). specs q6600, 4gb 1066mhz ram, 500 watt psu, 500 gb sata hard drive, windows vista home premium x64.

[anonymous345]

lol no, the Q6600 is a great cpu (G0 is nice). Overclock it and you'll be fine

[hockey14822]

Just upgraded my power supply to 650 watts with 40 amps on the 12 volt rail. I opened cpu z and it says stepping b revision go. I realize the bad one is referred to as b3. I then open SIW and it just says revision go so would that mean it is a go because I will be looking forward to over clocking if it is.

[10blood]

The song is horrid

[sheetole]

Dude, this card is awesome! and so is the video (= Do you know what the minimum PSU you can have with it? Mine is 400W, do you think that is enough? (=

[anonymous345]

minimum is 475 watt with 26 12v rail amps

[allmighty20]

Do you know if it would run on a recom 450W PSU?

[Destructo93]

Yes it will...I juste got this card after a longs summer work =D And it says on the box: Minimum 450W with minimum 12V... BTW I got the hole system after a summer job not just the card, waiting for some peaces and then I'ma get it built by the pro. Seriously I cant wait ! been waiting so long ! -Q6600 -9800GTX+superclocked -4 gigs ram 800MHz -780i evga motherboard -600 watt PSU -Windows Vista home premium 32 bit -Apevia X-Plorer case Black -And lights XD !!!Anyways yeah 450 is enough :P

[allmighty20]

LoL i allready have have a system like yours besides the gpu:) Tnx for the answer;) and by the way u can clock the cpu up to 3.06 ghz without any problems.

[Destructo93]

can you please explain to me how ? I have no idea of overclocking and could be nice to have it at 3GHz ! Thanks ! :D

ono more question, is the Sapphire Ati Radeon HD3870 Toxic a mach for the 9800gtx+?

[boltonjack]

the rival to the 9800gtx+ is the hd4850. The 9800+ just outperforms the 4850 in most games atm, but it doesnt have as many features for newer games like directx 10.1

[Peteioz123]

did the card come with crysis??

[anonymous345]

nope

[mygaffer]

I didn't see it mentioned in your info, have you overclocked this card at all? You should be EASILY able to give this card a quick 15% boost, with a little work you could get even more out of it.

[anonymous345]

I have it @ 800 core, 2000 shader and 1150 memory, with the stock auto fan settings. I don't want to push it more because I want a quiet and stable system.

[anonymous345]

yea this IS an easy card to overclock, even at load with 35% fan speed it never goes above 70°C, idle its about 53 and usually goes to about 60-66°C while playing games

ohhh and my cpu a e8400 5 gb ddr2 800 and a asus p5b mobo and a 600w power supply

[anonymous345]

why 5 GB DDR2?

that doesn't make sense.

the asus p5b board only has 4 ram slots, are you planning on a 4 GB stick and 1 GB? doesn't make sense if you want dual channel

Have you considered upgrading your cpu? You can generally find some great bargains our there for some real performers. Even a "lowly" e4500 for under $100 is going to be leaps and bounds better than your Pentium D, you can also get great motherboards for as low as $70 bucks to pair it with. My secondary rig is an e4500 paired with an ECS board(I know, but it was free w/ proc.) and with an 8800 GS it is a VERY serviceable gaming rig(not that it touches my main rig). Something to think about.

the problem is that i don't have $100...

anyway, it was the logical choice, either spend money on good cpu and get little performance increase in games, or get a newer GPU and get a larger performance increase.

maybe winter i'll have enough

I mean now that you have the nice video card you should consider the cpu upgrade. Just save up some money, you were able to save money for the video card.
