Early last month Nvidia released the GeForce 9800 GTX which today stands as the fastest single GPU graphics card money can buy. However, after almost sixty days of its release and with an eventual appearance of next-generation cards from both ATI and Nvidia, few manufacturers seem to be making pronounced efforts on modifying or improving the original Nvidia reference design.That is until we received the iChiLL 9800 GTX Accelero Xtreme from Inno3D, which features a mammoth heatsink that is cooled by no less than three fans.
Those of you more educated in the arts of PC cooling have probably recognized by the name of this product that Inno has employed the new Arctic Cooling Accelero Xtreme 9800 cooler. This cooler alone retails for ~$55 which is only good news for prospective buyers of this graphics card since it's retailing on par with other standard-equipped products at just $315.

9800 is a name of one of the best card ever, now nvidia ruined the memory of that name with: big-expensive-almost no advantage-card.
i feel its time for utter software optimisation, newst hardware brings nothing new.
They should be focused on tuning the existing cards via drivers and the next-gen products, instead of releasing "new" cards.
The cooler this card has is impressive. I may as well get one for my 8800 GTS.
