The Radeon 9800 XT is in many ways a Geforce FX killer. ATI is enjoying a good lead in an always changing industry.

In the picture above we notice a big fan and heatsink. But do not be fooled by it's size, this fan is very silent.

It also has a rear plate which acts as a heatsink.

 

 

This chip has been benchmarked thoroughly.

The Radeon takes the edge when all the effects to smoothen the game are enabled.

The Geforce Fx only has the upper hand while edge and texture AA are disabled in Wofenstein.
