Performance

The GeForce 9800M GTX has 112 steam processors, 16 more in comparison with the 9800M GT. Another difference is the video memory. The 9800M GTX features 1GB GDDR3 RAM. In the 3D Mark Benchmark 2006, the XMG7 has obtained a result of 9952 points, 10% more than similar systems with a 8800 GTX. The tests with 3D Mark 2005 show even a better improvement, although in these tests, the CPU has a huge impact on the results.

Gaming Performance

In order to better review the graphic card, it’s necessary to test it with some of the most recent games.

Crysis

As usual, the first test was done with Crysis, which is known to be a very demanding game. The resolution chosen was of 1024 x 768 with high and very high details. With these settings and high details, the system has obtained a framerate of 30 to 50 fps, which is a decent result. If the game settings are put in very high, the frame rate is reduced to 20-30 fps, which doesn’t allow for a complete gaming experience, as it lacks fluidity.
