Test Setup

We'll be testing the Zotac GeForce 9800 GTX+ ZONE Edition on both our Vista and XP systems. The specifications of the systems are as follows:-

Windows XP SP2 Test System:

  • Intel Core 2 Duo E6700 (2.66GHz)
  • Intel D975XBX 'Bad Axe' motherboard
  • 2 x 1GB DDR2-800 Kingston HyperX memory in dual channel mode
  • Seagate 7200.7 80GB SATA hard drive
  • Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 2 and DirectX 9.0c

Windows Vista SP1 Test System:

  • Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6850 (3.00GHz)
  • Gigabyte X38T-DQ6 motherboard
  • 2 x 1GB DDR3-1333 Aeneon memory in dual channel mode
  • Seagate 7200.10 200GB SATA hard drive
  • Windows Vista Ultimate with SP1

Since the 9800 GTX+ is essentially an overclocked version of the 9800GTX, we'll be pitting the two of them together to see what kind of improvements the higher clock speeds in the 9800 GTX+ will give over its predecessor. We've also thrown in the older 8800 GTS, which, if you have studied the earlier table closely, is really a downclocked 9800 GTX.

From the red camp, we have the HD 4850 and the HD 3870 X2. Here are the full list of cards and the drivers used for testing:-

  • Zotac GeForce 9800 GTX+ ZONE Edition 512MB GDDR3 ( Forceware 177.79)
  • NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTX 512MB GDDR3 (XP only - Forceware 174.74)
  • NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB (XP only - Forceware 169.21)
  • ATI Radeon HD 4850 512MB GDDR3 (Catalyst 8.6)
  • ATI Radeon HD 3870 X2 1GB (Catalyst 8.5)


The following benchmarks were tested using their built-in time demo or benchmarking tools:-

For Windows XP:

  • Futuremark 3DMark06 (ver 110)
  • Company of Heroes (ver 1.3)
  • F.E.A.R (ver 1.0)
  • Crysis (ver 1.1)
  • Unreal Tournament 3 (ver 1.1)

For Windows Vista:
