PNY 9800 GTX XLR8 OC review

Verdict

Decent benchmark results, but it's too similar to the original 9800 GTX to be worth paying extra.

Review Date: 3 Jun 2008

Reviewed By: Mike Jennings

Price when reviewed: (£220 inc VAT)

Overall Rating
4 stars out of 6

The sheer wealth of competition on offer means that we're not overly enamoured with the XLR8. The variety of enhancements to the core specification just don't provide enough of a performance boost to justify the £187 price when a standard card, which performs similarly, can be had for £20 less.
