ECS GeForce 9800 GTX+ Hydra SLI Review

ECS GeForce 9800 GTX+ Hydra SLI is kit that contains two modified GeForce 9800GTX+ and a water-cooling kit. Guru3D got this kit and has published a 16-page review: ECS GeForce 9800 GTX+ Hydra SLI Review.

The Verdict:
…
I like the ease of use, easy installation and the cooling performance.
…
But the kit is really efficient, cools pretty fantastic and as a result, though you now have two cards rendering your games, you can even overclock with a very healthy safety margin.
…
My favorite game at this very moment is Mass Effect. I play it at 2560×1600 with the image quality settings as defined in this review. With one GTX+ card still averages at 37 frames per second (which already is bloody nice for the money), however with that second GTX+ added I end up at an average FPS of 70. It is an excellent modern title that shows Multi-GPU gaming potential so well with. And that’s where you need to seek the true benefit, modern games.

…
When we purely focus at the 9800 GTX+ SLi scaling, we then see that after 1600×1200 SLI kicks in very well. In the situations where you get really GPU bound you’ll notice your performance nearly doubly up, and that’s just very decent performance. But that is the denominator in the back of my mind, you need to play your games above a resolution of 1600×1200 for SLi to kick in hard and to be able to witness that return of your investment. Well, that or playing Crysis actually

Read the 14-page review HERE.

I think Inno3D does a superb job with their product line. With the 9800 GTX OC edition, Inno3D brought a great product to the market, with the extra game full game you’ll retrieve some additional value. And that coupled with the recent price fall in the NVIDIA GTX series … you really can’t go wrong here and you’ll love playing the latest games with it.
