EVGA Quietly Slips in Lean GeForce 9800 GTX+ Model
During my most recent eggscursion, I came across the EVGA 512-P3-N879-AR. The card is a non-reference GeForce 9800 GTX+ model. EVGA took the advantage of the lower thermal footprints of the 55nm G92 core, and developed this shorter card that makes do with a single 6-pin PCI-E power input. The cooler slightly resembes that of the 8800 GTS 512, but comes with a shroud that resembles that of the GTX 200-series cards by design.
The card is 3-way SLI capable with any other 9800 GTX+ card. It sports 512 MB of GDDR3 memory clocked at 2200 MHz, with the core clocked at 740 MHz, with an 1840 MHz shader domain. The card is available at Newegg.com for US $174.99 before a $25 optional rebate.

Welcome back HD2900GT

I think it will affect them.
I know that tri-9800 with a qx9650 is very very boarder line with my 1k PSU.
When I OC it it sucks it down hard.......
The end of the QT is coming, and they are trying to get rid of what they have to make extra cash after ATi this last QT. That's what I think.
Uses 2 6pin
745MHz while the 512MB of GDDR3 memory carries a clock of 2200MHz DDR.

I think it does take more power because there are differences.
Also id you wanted to up the voltage, and really push the card. If you wanted to do any Vmods to the card.
You might be waiting that 2ed 6-pin back, but then again for stock speeds. Maybe not needed.
I wish I could read Thai....

I would put down big money that Wile, Dom, or Goat could hit 900Mhz on this card stable gaming. In a week, if I could get them the card. Wile almost hit 1000Mhz on a single 120 rad water setup, and in the summer upstairs with no a/c running on the 65nm version of the chip.
I would place money that more than one 6pin would be needed to do that.
Palit has a 9800GT with Sli same card as above but as you know cut down.
look it has one 6pin.....I just see it being better to have two plugs. Less stress on your PSU. More voltage and amps if needed. I don't see the down side. It's not like your going to burn it if you can't pull it to burn.
I've often contemplated selling my 9800GTX's and going back to 8800GTS's specifically so I could only have to deal with the single plug. Though I think I am just going to pick me up two of these instead.
