The advantages:
-Able to run some games with fairly heavy specs
Disadvantages:
-Rates are priced quite expensive
Highlights:
This time, CHIP get a chance to try one variant of VGA made by them, Midasforce 9800GT. Although arguably outdated, this product can not be underestimated because of CHIP benchmark results say otherwise.
CHIP.co.id - Midasforce is one that comes from the hardware manufacturer in the country. They are engaged in the production of VGA, Power Bank, Memory, and Flash Drives. In the case of VGA, they worked together with NVIDIA only. This time, CHIP get a chance to try one variant of VGA made by them, Midasforce 9800GT. Although arguably outdated, this product can not be underestimated because of CHIP benchmark results say otherwise.
When it comes to design, the VGA does not use the reference board from NVIDIA. There is a fairly large heatsink unit is equipped with a 120 mm diameter fan. Display more look fierce with black PCB. In the sales package provided manual, CD Driver, and one 6-pin cable to molex converter.
The interface provided by this product is complete.
Based on the classification list of NVIDIA's chips, Midasforce G92b 9800GT GPU chip attached to the 55nm fabrication technology. VGA is included in the series because only coined the green edition one piece 6-pin power to the power supply. In addition, the graphics card is running at a core clock of 550 MHz (standard variant running at 600MHz). There are three types of connectors are pinned, ie DVI, VGA, and HDMI, do not forget the SLI interface.
When CHIP benchmark test using the software with 3D Mark 13 test categories Cloud Gate, a score achieved was 7253. CHIP did not test it with Fire Strike mode because this product does not yet support DirectX 11 technology. In addition, CHIP also tried to play some quality games like GRID 2, Hitman Absolution, and Batman: Arkham Origins. The result was quite satisfactory.
In GRID 2, Midasforce 9800GT can produce fairly good quality. The proof, he could produce an average of 50 frames per second. Meanwhile, Batman Arkham Origins, generated frames per second is 45, is sufficient to produce a visual display without a hiccup. For Hitman Absolution, the average maximum FPS is 42. All tests with this game using visual display settings to medium quality without turning off PhysX features and other additional features, such as depth of field or ambience.
Midasforce 9800GT can produce 45 FPS when used to play Batman: Arkham Origins.
Midasforce 9800GT could also be a solution when you want to maximize the potential of PhysX in a way menduetkannya with others via VGA SLI feature. For those of you who want to try the local flavors with VGA capability is great enough, it never hurts to try Midasforce.
