9800 GTX+ Instead of 9800 GTX Black Edition?

Gamefreek333

In my future computer I plan on getting a 9800 GTX Black Edition, but I just recently heard about the GTX+ which, I think, was used to compete with ATI's HD 4870 and 4850. I checked it out on Newegg, and it's nearly equivalent to the Black Edition for cheaper. Do you think I should get it? I appreciate all your help guys! Thanks so much! Here's the GTX+ Specs

• Core clock - 738MHz
• Memory Size - 512MB
• Memory Interface - 256-Bit
• Memory Type - GDDR3
• RAMDAC - 40 MHz

I have actually no idea where this fits, from what it sounds its Lower or close to the 260.

As someone said before and im paraphrasing , The 4870 is a victor to the GTX 260 and is a fighter to the GTX 280.

The 9800 GTX+ was intended to beat the ATI offerings this last june and has a marginal jump in performance.  However, the 4850 simply trounces it.  It is above any 8800 but below the GTX 200s and HD4800's.  Its also priced higher then the HD4850 which outperforms it by a notable margin.

The 9800 Black Edition just has an unlocked overclocking features.  The 9800+ is fabricated at a smaller die size.
