I have been waiting for a game like Crysis to give me a reason to upgrade from my Gefore 6800 Ultra 512. I now believe that that upgrade will be the 9800 GX2...hopefully. I use a Dell 24" WS Ultra Sharp and 512 just doesn't cut it on this monitor. All I need to know is will the 9800 GX2 operate without a SLI capable Mobo???? I have an Abit AA8XE with a 925X or 925XE chipset. The AIT X2 doesn't require one...
Thanks!
i dont think you need a sli board but im not positive. i would strongly recommend an sli board like the evga 780i board. just so you have the choice of upgrading to sli if you want it
you will be fine, but you may want to be prepared for quad SLI.
Also I believe to use the 9800x2 at full power you need PCI-e 2.0.
