Well! What do we have here? An overclocked edition of the 9800GX2. This is XFX's XT variant of the GeForce 9800GX2. XFX has all along been providing two other higher clocked variants of their higher-end base models, for example: GeForce 8800GTX, 8800GTX XT and 8800GTX XXX.

This card is clocked at a nice 640MHz on the core.

 



Hey wait, that's not all. We have here also the 9800GTX XT from XFX. This card is clocked at 720MHz on the core, up from the default 675MHz.

The boxes are the same as the default-clocked versions, so the only way to tell is by the product label on the base of the box, or by the XT/XXX round sticker, and the core speed label.

 



Extreme Edition cards from XFX. (The XXX variant of the XFX GeForce 9800GTX 512MB should be on its way to the shelves. It is clocked at 740MHz core.)

The XFX GeForce 9800GTX 512MB XT is priced at $519 and the XFX GeForce 9800GX2 1GB XT is priced at $935. The standard versions are at $485 and $899 respectively.
