MUMBAI, INDIA: XFX has released the GeForce 9800 GTX+ graphics card for the gaming world.

It comes with PhysX technology that transforms the overall gaming experience with realistic facial movements, weather effects and explosions.

Nvidia Cuda technology and new Cuda runtime for Windows Vista enables users to offload intensive processing tasks from their CPUs to their graphics card.

It has 128 processor cores, and its HybridPower technology allows users to save power by shifting to their motherboard's onboard graphics when running less graphically intense applications.

Fully optimized gaming can be achieved by running three XFX GeForce 9800 GTX+ graphics cards in three-way Nvidia SLI mode on one of XFX's nForce 780i SLI or 790i SLI motherboards.

It is designed for the PCI Express 2.0 bus architecture featured in nForce 7 series and GeForce 8 series motherboards.

Users can even fine-tune their performance with the 9800 GTX+'s ESA-enabled control panel.

The XFX 9800 GTX+ features a second-generation Nvidia PureVideo HD technology engine that ensures unsurpassed high-definition movie picture quality thanks to features such as dynamic contrast enhancement, color stretch video processing and dual-stream picture-in-picture content.

The 9800GTX+ graphics card will be available through Rashi Peripherals and its nationwide branches across India at an estimated street price of Rs. 16,000 along with three years warranty.
