The so-called Radeon 4850 killer is here. Can it really slay it or will it be the other way around?
Good cooling, CUDA and PhysX support, 55nm, Hybrid power support.
No performance benefit over the 9800GTX, Doesn't over-clock further, A bit pricey.

The Card
The box is the same as all of other 'Amp' series cards with a dragon dominating the front of the box. The rest of the specifications are mentioned around the edge of the box.
The card and the accessories are covered by a plastic protection. This is quite a nice addition and gives some extra resistance against abuse during shipping of the product.
Well, no surprise here, the design is exactly the same as the 9800GTX and is also exactly the same length. In the front we have the sticker of the card, which takes up the front half, while the rear half is dominated by the fan.
