We've learned that the 9800 GTX+ will soon be gone from store shelves for good, as soon as the supply channels dry out. Many vendors have already removed it from their lists of available cards.

Although the 9800 GTX+ is almost identical to the "new" GTS 250, there's simply no room for it next to the rebrand, which is expected to jump start sales.

If you already have a 9800 GTX+, there's really no reason to upgrade, as both GPUs use identical chips and provide almost identical performance.
