First 9800GTX+ is out at newegg

[veg1992]

But then its a crappy SLI Chipset... plus most people here like AMD more anyways

but better cooling

The 4850 doesn't need as good cooling

The 4850 doesn't need as good cooling

From what I heard the HD4850 produce a lot of heat because of its small stock cooler.

9800GTX+ produce less heat than HD4850 because it comes with a double slot cooler, and hot air goes out the case instead of staying inside the case.

Like I said, the 4850 doesn't need as good cooling. The GPU is designed to handle a high amount of heat.

Also, they've programmed it to run the fan speed at a quite low setting (to reduce noise). If you increase the speed by about 7%, it can make it run significantly cooler.

9800GTX+ doesn't produce less heat (in terms of Watts output). It just has a bigger cooler (able to handle a higher heat output, which is needed for the 9800 GTX+).
