Not being able to think of a better sentence, I think nVidia shit in their pants when AMD released the 4850 at the price they did. The performance of AMD’s little card certainly raised the standard for a medium-end card and nVidia swiftly reacted by announcing the 9800 GTX+ GPU which is, simply put, a die shrunked and overclocked version of the 9800 GTX. This 55nm GPU runs at stock speeds of 738MHz for the core and 1836MHz for shaders.

With us today, we have Zotac’s AMP edition of the card which is a term that Zotac uses for their overclocked cards. Zotac has upped the core clock to 756MHz, shaders to 1890MHz while memory runs at 1150MHz. Lets find out how well that results in real world performance using our standard bunch of games.

Packaging

Zotac uses an orange box with a dragon on the front which looks nice and should catch the eye of a potential buyer. Inside, we found user manuals, a drivers CD, full DVD of the game “ XIII century”, an HDMI and DVI adapters, two Molex to 6PIN power converters, an audio cable, a VIVO cable and a Zotac badge Sticker. Needless to say, Zotac has certainly packed their card with all the accessories you would need.
