Its hard to deny the GX2 is the most powerful graphics card to date.But would you get the 9800GTX for lower price or would you still trade in for the king of 3D graphics? |

Neither card makes me want to upgrade; I'll keep my overclocked 8800GTX until Nvidia releases a real upgrade. |

There is no 9800GTX...yet. Cannot make this comparison until we know more about the 9800GTX. |

I'm still wondering if the 9800GX2 will work in a P35 mobo or any single PCI-E 16x mobo for that matter. Like Jay said, two 8800gts are less, so if you have an SLI motherboard I don't know why you would consider it unless you're planning on throwing $1200-1400 into your graphics cards for Quad-SLI. |

Yes it should. That is one of the reasons why they had the 7950GX2 so you could have SLI without an SLI mobo.

I think the difference is about 3-7% clock for clock, so it could be a bit faster --------------- Every artist is a cannibal,every poet is a thief,they all kill their inspiration then sing about their grief |
