	NVIDIA ForceWare It takes a powerful suite of software to complement these complex processors. NVIDIA ForceWare unified software environment (USE) is the key to unleashing the full power and features in NVIDIA's desktop, platform, mobile, and multimedia products. Delivering a proven record of compatibility, reliability, and stability with the widest range of games and applications, ForceWare ensures the best out-of-box experience for every user and delivers.
	NVIDIA SLI (Scalable Link Interface) NVIDIA SLI (Scalable Link Interface) technology is a revolutionary approach to scalability and increased performance. NVIDIA SLI takes advantage of the increased bandwidth of the PCI Express bus architecture, and features hardware and software innovations within NVIDIA GPUs (graphics processing units) and NVIDIA nForce4 MCPs (media and communications processors). Together the NVIDIA SLI patent-pending technologies work seamlessly to deliver heart-pounding PC performance. And depending on the application, NVIDIA SLI can deliver as much as 2x the performance of a single GPU configuration for unparalleled gaming experiences.
	Windows Vista Ready Windows Vista is the first operating system to require a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) to realize the best experience possible.
	PCI Express 2.0 Support PCI Express Base 2.0 specification doubles the interconnect bit rate from 2.5 GT/s to 5 GT/s in a seamless and compatible manner. The performance boost to 5 GT/s is by far the most important feature of the PCI Express 2.0 specifications. It effectively increases the aggregate bandwidth of a 16-lane link to approximately 16 GB/s. The higher bandwidth will allow product designers to implement narrower interconnect links to achieve high performance.

I would not recommend such brand (evga) for my worse enemy. After a few months of use the video card's capacitors simply started to explode (literally -- I could hear the loud noise of a bang coming from inside my computer case); which blew not only the graphic card, but my motherboard and psu were also shot along the process. In other words I lost the core of my system because of such subpar subpart video card which is prone to explosion (seems surreal to me, and funny or maybe tragic enough evga simply don't cover any damage)

I bought EVGA GeForce 9800 GTX+ Video Card card at a local electronics store for $200 +tax. Since I opened the box I was like WHOA, EVGA GeForce 9800 GTX+ looks like a computer itself, big bulky & heavy. I was hoping I had room. Looked monsterous, but looked powerful.Was eager to start a game with it. Found out my power supply was 400W. I unplugged other molex connectors because it requires 4!!! or 2 PCI Express plugs(which I had none.) When turned on I got message ,''Video Card will run at low setting because insufficient POWER!!! I was tearing my hair. The point of a good card is to get optimum power and graphics. Ran to store again next day to find a 650W for $119.00 and -30 rebate which expired already :o(. installed, had 2 new PCI Express connector so used both. Eager to turn it on. Hit POWER............................NOTHING!!!!!ALHJSDFN$%#$^^@#$34134JDF2#$#$#%@#SWITCHED THE POWER BUTTON ON THE NEW POWER SUPPLY IN REAR!Started Crysys and MAN O MAN, I WAS JUST WALKING AROUND FIRST LEVEL LOOKING AT THE ENVIRONMENT!!!

Great Card, remember this is a PLUS version and is already better than the original 9800gtx. orderderd it online but to my dismay I was missing an DVi to VGA connector and there are supposed to be two in the box as stated. This is minor however as this card preforms rather well thus far. On Crysis, C.Warhead, and Far Cry 2, this card is astonishing and its not even Nvidias best. A fitting replacement for the 8800gt. the AA is also great when utilized in Crysis and is definitly sharper and can take graphic intensive scenes. It also comes with software like FRAPS and others but the XFX bundle comes with a full game so Im not sure how this card stands against the XFX version of the +. I also wish this had 1GB instead of the 512.In SLI this card is better than the 9800gx2 by a few FPS. Of course the GX2 is space efficient and doesnt need a SLI motherboard. If you want price for preformance get this over the 4850 and 9800gt OC. Overall this is still a great card and should last long.

I upgraded this from a 6800 GS and i can run newer games such as Crysis on full settings with little to no choppiness. since i installed it, however, my computer has crashed a couple times while playing in Warhammer Open Beta.. Blue screens! overall great card, though! :)
