The NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTX or the G92 that was released on March 28 of 2008 was considered to be the fastest GeForce 9 GPU before the release of the GTX 100 and GTX 200 series along with Half of the price of the 8800 GTX. It was considered to be the next king after the release of the 8800 GTX, was considered to be powerful. It's specifications is that it had a Process size of 65nm, a Transistor count of 754 Million along with a Die Size of 324mm^2. The Clock speeds were 675 MHz for the GPU, 1.688 GHz for the Shader Clock, and 1.1GB (1100 MHz) and 2.2GBps effective. It had a Length of 267mm or 10.5 In, a Width of 111mm or 4.4 In, a Height of 38mm or 1.5 In with a TDP of 140W, PSU of 300W, and an Output of 2 DVIs and 1 S-Video. It has a GDDR3 Memory @ 512 MB with a 256 bit and a 70.40 GB/s. It had 128 SU, 64 TMUs, 16 ROPs and SMs, and an L2 Cache of 64 KB. It has a Theoretical Preformance of 10.80 GPixel/s, 43.20GTexel/s, and 432.1GFLOPS. There was another Variant that was considered to be the First and Last GTX+, which was the 9800 GTX+. For the Test on Jaindike's video, It got around 40-45 FPS on Rocket League and Counter Strike: Global Offensive, and Over 100+ FPS on Minecraft along with 90-100 in Insurgency.
