(Old School Topic) GeForce Nvidia 9800 GX2

So, i got bored and bought some stuff from ebay very cheap.
One on them is a MSI 9800 GX2 - the dual gpu monster.
Unitl it gets here and i was wondering how much punch it still has in it compared to modern GPUs.
At that time i couldn't afford it ~ 600 $ i presume, like today's 1000 $ Titans etc

I still have my Asus 8800 GT, retired somewhere, with whom I've played everything at 720p and even some stuff at 1080p until Crysis 3 wanted DX11 and got a second hand GTX 470 just to play it.

So, just for fun, can some one help me with some educated guesses in what are the differences between the following:

1. GX2 vs 8800 GT ( clearly GX2 wins but is +50% the true number if i can remember from the reviews back then - 8800 gt had 112 Cuda cores, 57 GB/s and the GX had 2x newer fab gpus at 128 cuda cores and thus better frequencies and 60 something gb/s.)

2. GX2 vs GTX 470 ( could it be a tie?)
3. GX2 vs GTX 760 ( my current card, clearly 760 wins by a lot, but how much, will test this for fun when it arrives )

Again it's for fun, melancholy good feeling topic, about some stuff in the IT world for me.

Thanks.

I had an old 560ti that I retired when I got my 770 and was curious about the 560ti's performance vs SLI 9800GTX's (my fathers computer has these). I found the 560ti is roughly 50% more powerful than the 9800's. I passed my 560ti to him after seeing those results. With that in mind I never did any benchmarking on his computer to see the real world gains firsthand.
