Galera desculpa pelo texto em ingles mas acho q dá pra entender, to na pressa aqui e só passei pra postar essa noticia mesmo que saiu no Techspot hoje.
Hot on the heels of AMD’s decision to lift the press embargo on Radeon HD 4850 performance information, Nvidia has responded with a price cut and the launch of the GeForce 9800 GTX+, an overclocked version of the 9800 GTX that the company is touting as the best single card price / performance offering.
The new and improved 9800 GTX+ bumps both core and shader clock speeds – with the help of a more efficient 55nm process – from 675MHz to 738MHz and from 1,688MHz to 1,836MHz respectively. GDDR3 memory remains the same at 1000MHz. What’s more interesting, Nvidia announced a general price cut on 9800 GTX cards to $199 (down from $290), with the GTX+ to sell at $229 – just $30 above the recently launched Radeon HD 4850.
The graphics war is certainly heating up and new offerings accompanied by price cuts will be most welcomed by consumers, though I can imagine those who recently bought a 9800 GTX card will be very annoyed at the fact this new GTX+ card arrives out of the blue with a better performance and price.
