With a special cooler

Asus has placed a new card on its product pages that will use a rather interesting "Dark Knight" cooler. The new EN9800GTX+ DK/HTDI/512M will have a dual-slot cooler with four heatpipes, a large heatsink and a center placed fan. The new cooler might appear to look like a Batman sign, but we just don't see the point and the "Dark Knight" just sounds weird.

The new Asus 9800GTX+ card uses non-reference blue PCB and works at 738MHz for the core, 1,836MHz for Shaders and 2,200MHz for 512MB of GDDR3 memory. As you can see from those numbers, despite the Dark Knight cooler and a non-reference PCB, the card is still working at reference clocks.

Asus will bundle this card with a leather mouse pad and, as always, Asus wasn't kind enough to announce a card release date and price.
