9800 GX2 is for sale a newegg.. i just did a got one :bounce: and well be selling my 8800GTX 😀 ..i went with the EVGA model !!! There all going for 599us dollers!!
 
Agreed. Hopefully the 9800gtx will keep its rumored 300-350 price tag and offer at least a little value in their 9800 series
 
I order two of them at 6am this morning,also a 28" LCD to go with them. I used overnite shipping,so they should be here sometime tomorrow morning if newegg does its job right. Now i have to wait till the 25th for two 9800GTX's. Ill use my 512 8800GTS's to step up to the 9800GTX's. Had to sell my three 8800 ultras to buy the GX2s. Now it's waiting a week for Quad SLI drivers. I just recieved 8GBs of PC 8500 Patriot Vipers also.
 


Do you expect a performance increase? I would be a bit nervous that it isn't going to do all that much better than 3 Ultras. None the less, I am interested in how it works for you.
 


Why dont you buy a Ferrari?
 
Waly I kinda do take it back about the GX2... I want one myself but its too expensive for the performance it offers.
Let us know how you get on with performance tho... If you have Crysis would you please take the time to play it at 1360x768 resolution at Ultra High settings and let me know what the FPS are...
 



Most definitely! i well do benchmarks overclock it to its fullest see what i can get it to :0 !! I have crysis and well let you know what i get :) ...
 
Ok cheers. The reason I ask it because I game at that resolution and if its really performing at that res I'll buy one, as Ive mentioned many a time before... i dont mind paying for a card that will do the job.
 
This card is 799.99 on tigerdirect.ca

599 in the USA,

799 in Canada, even though our currencies are nearly identical.


799 !!!!
 



Thats why I get everything in the USA and ship it to Detroit and my wife brings it back across the border on her way home from work.
 
Must i add that you need a min of 600watt power supply...Requirements
Minimum of a 600 Watt power supply.

Truthfully i am doing the steup up program with evga i paid 509.99$ for my 8800gtx so i am putting 80$ on top tradeing my 8800gtx in for the 9800gx2.... so for 80 dollers it seems worth it to me :)
 


I must say, thats about the only situation where I'd even consider getting the gx2.
