This is the very fast BFG Tech GeForce 9800 GTX OCX 512MB graphics card and its BFG’s first OCX card with a 9800 GTX core. This card is really the whole package with a good overclock, lifetime warranty and 24/7 tech support for the US. Tweak Town have given this card a hands-on review and in their final thoughts they said “I’ve been quite a fan of the 9800 GTX from the word go, this simply due to the plain fact that it’s brought good performance at a reasonable price. While the BFG Tech OCX is one of the more expensive 9800 GTX cards on the market, the lifetime warranty and healthy out-of-the-box overclock make it quite an attractive purchase.
While the 9800 GTX at the higher resolution is for the most part slower than the more expensive 9800 GX2, it still offers excellent performance. If you have an SLI motherboard as well, we would be optioning for a pair of 9800 GTX cards versus a single 9800 GX2 as the GX2 really is nothing more than a pair of 8800 GTs in SLI.
If you’re on an Intel based chipset where SLI isn’t an option, we’re also probably still leaning towards the GTX due to the plain fact that on a whole it offers a whole lot better performance to price ratio.
With all this said though, who knows where the 9800 series of cards are going to be in a few weeks once the new GT 200 based cards are on the market. Will NVIDIA drop the price of these cards or will we simply see them discontinued? – My bet is that the 9800 GTX is probably still going to fill a price gap that won’t be seen with the GT 200 line-up of cards come launch day.
Either way, it’s hard not to be impressed with the offering that BFG has her. If you’re in the market for a graphics card that you expect to keep for years to come, or you’re just finding that when it comes time to sell it, the fact it has a lifetime warranty is more attractive, then you can’t go wrong with the BFG Tech 9800 GTX”.
