BFG has added two new graphics cards to its line-up. The Geforce 9800GT OC2 and the Geforce9800GT OCX ThermoIntelligence are both equipped with a large dual-slot cooler, of which BFG claims it keeps the cards up to 30° Celsius cooler than the reference model. The cards feature  a 256-bit bus, 112 shader units and 512 MB of GDDR3 memory. Both the 9800GT OC2 and 9800GT OCX have a double DVI-I connector and an HDTV (component) output. Naturally, each card supports nVidia's PhysX and CUDA technologies.

The 9800GT OC2 comes with clock frequencies of 650 MHz, 1620 Mhz and 1926 MHz for respectively the core, shader units and the memory. The 9800GT OCX features even higher clockspeeds, its core is clocked at 680 MHz, the shader units at 1674 MHz and the memory features a frequency of 2000 Mhz. Both cards are bundled with a convertor to transform two molex connectors into a single 6-pin PCI-e connector. An HDTV component cable and DVI-to-VGA convertor can also be found in the package.
