XFX announced two new graphic cards for gamers and multimedia users. The XFX
GeForce 9500GT: The Multi-Media Multi-Tasker and XFX GeForce 9800GT.

The 9500GT delivers an improved 3D experience with Microsoft Windows Media
Center that allows users to offload tasks from the CPU, which increases
productivity and enables users to share, edit and manage photos and videos
better than ever before.

The 9500GT takes video playback to a new level, with advanced PureVideo HD
technology that delivers jaw-dropping Blu-ray movie picture quality with reduced
CPU utilization and low-power consumption.

Offering a 3X performance increase over comparable 8 Series GPU and PCI
Express 2.0 compatible cards, the 9500GT delivers the most gaming horsepower
available at this price point, and since these cards are compatible with PCI
Express and the new PCI Express 2.0 bus architecture, the 9500GT ensures that
users will be able to play all games the way they were meant to be played.

The XFX GeForce 9800 GT is loaded with industry-leading features such as
Nvidia CUDA technology, together with new CUDA runtime for Windows Vista,
enhances non-gaming productivity by enabling programmers to offload intensive
processing tasks from their CPUs to their GPUs, putting the power of up to 112
processor cores to work. Now, users can multi-task, enabling them to transcode
video, or even run Folding@home in the background while surfing the web or
conducting other computing tasks.

Engineered for the PCI Express 2.0 bus architecture featured in most XFX
nForce Series motherboards, the GeForce 9800GT offers the highest data transfer
speeds for bandwidth-hungry games and 3D applications. It features 112 processor
cores that are each individually clocked at 1.5GHz and a 256-bit frame buffer
interface that runs at 900MHz.

Both the graphics card will be available through Rashi Peripherals and its
network of 53 branches across India at an estimated street price of Rs 6,500 for
9500GT and Rs 12,500 for 9800GT.
