Nice. Are you replacing the 2x9600GT in your sig or is this for a new system?

 

[L1qu1d]

I replaced em. I paid 500 cash lol so I came out great sold the 9600 GTs for 300

What a nice way of putting it MrsBytch I can tell your a classy girl!

 

[night_wolf_in]

[L1qu1d]

not much still have a full wallet.
So if your her husband it gives and excuse for being rude? Didn't know that

 

[L1qu1d]

They aren't plugged in together...its just amazing at the Size difference!

 

[vertigo_2000]

Sounds like someone upgraded for the sake of upgrading.

Whatever... if ya got money to burn, its your money to burn. Enjoy and post what you get.

 

[L1qu1d]

Its a hobby

 

[mpavao81]

Now get a second one and put it in sli i would love to see benchmarks with duel 9800 GX2

 

[lambofgode3x]

first off, congrats on the upgrade. they're pretty nasty cards.

secondly, haha you wear white socks ( haha, just messing with you)

 

[Shadow703793]

Nice . I wish I had those. Now how about the benches and OCing?

 

[L1qu1d]

lol I'll have them up. I'm having problems with the drivers...I've been having them ever since I reformated my computer. I'll have some screen shots

Its not the mobo cuz it worked fine up untill the reformate! :S

 

[L1qu1d]

K I found out the problem. Its the Nvidia Drivers. I installed them and everything went wrong.

I installed the drivers off the cd and they are fine. I had the same problem with my 9600 GTs after I reformated my computer

Let me know if any1 else is having problems;D

 

[FrozenGpu]

I wouldn't bother with the bytch, but whats is that card underneath the 9800GX2?

 

[L1qu1d]

XFA 9600 GT OC 512

 

[Waspy]

Why dude, unless you are going to get two of those beasts?

Should have picked up a couple 8800 GTS 512MBs to replace the 9600 GTs.

But 2x 9800GX2s > all!

he can spend his money on whatever he wants. if you don't have the money to buy it, that's your fault. no reason to put someone down. his new setup most likely blows anything you got out of the water, so stop being a retarded twelve year old.

btw... nice setup. post benchmarks.

 

[EXT64]

Yikes, I had never seen that MB before. Is the whole thing covered in copper? :lol:

Be sure to keep us up to date. Right now my builds are more concerned with minimizing power consumption, but that doesn't mean I'm not interested in the top of the line. It's too bad nVidia didn't try very hard on that card. They could have made it amazing, instead it just seems PHENOMinal ( )

 

[L1qu1d]

Here are some quick benchmarks using the BFG drivers. apparently there is more to come from nvidia updated drivers. BUt they just screw up my system...I'll have to wait for a revision.

Settings are Default. My RAm count is actually 4 gigs don't ask my why it says 2.5 instead of 3.5 but thats how it is lol

 

[Shadow703793]

Nice.

 

[EXT64]

Nice! From what I've heard there definitely is some room for improvement in the drivers. Tell us how some real games go when you get to them.

 

[L1qu1d]

The mother board is the Asus Striker II Formula 780i and yeah there is alot of copper lol...but doesn't cover the whole board

 

[Falken699]

9800GX2 Meh Edition. Should have been as powerful as 2 GTX's in sli, with 2x 768MB for that price.

nforce I know you are not attacking me with that quote. I'm simply stating that 2x 8800 GTS G92 512MB > 1x 9800GX2...as proven by all of the benchmarks released so far! BUT, 2x 9800GX2 is truely nutballcrazyass!

 

[resonance451]

Meh, I have a single 8800GT 512mb for now... not sure whether I want to spend the money on two 9800GX2's or wait for the next series to come out. And if I spend another $240 on another 8800GT, that's just another $240 that will be gone when I upgrade again.
