EVGA 9800 GTX+ 512MB Video Card Review

Prey

Even though Prey may be a bit older game compared against many of the other ones we are testing, it still provides a workout of even the best graphics cards on the market. This time we have enabled its Graphics Boost feature (Gboost in the charts) and run through a custom timedemo.


Prey is an older game but when we pump the resolution the $200 cards really start to sweat. The 9800 GTX+ can’t keep up with the HD 4850 in this game but it does once again show some minor improvements over the older 9800 GTX.

Enemy Territory: Quake Wars

Enemy Territory: Quake wars is the latest iteration of the wildly popular Quake franchise from ID Software. While it was met with luke-warm reviews by both the media and the gaming community, it remains an extremely popular online game. In this test we set up a 15 minute timedemo on the Refinery level while the framerates were recorded in-game.


ET: QW shows us a game that really benefits from having Nvidia hardware in your system. Things start to turn around once AA is turned on and the resolution increases, things become less rosy for the EVGA 9800 GTX+.
