I bought a 4870 X2 and it runs excellently, but I thought it might be a waste of a GX2 since I have 1...So should stay with the 4870 X2 or just grab another GX2 and Quad them and return the X2???
Thanks for the Opinions
I'll be using a 1080p monitor in Sept

More about : stay 4870 buy gx2 sli system
so ur playing at 2560x1080?
well getting another 9800gx2 wont help to much because at that resolution the 9800gx2 doesnt perform well and quad sli doesnt work well (scales bad) and there is alot of issues i heard of in forums with 2 9800gx2.
i would just stick with the 4870x just sell ur old card or use it in another machine.

im not sure either 2560x1080 or 1920x1080.
But ya look at this site 9800gx2 in quad sli. scaled well in crysis but in cod4 quad sli performed less then sli. so it has its ups and downs.

i think the new driver might improve things but the 4870X2 still perform better then 9800GX2.
just a thing the physx and cuda MIGHT benefit alot from the second GX2 in the possible future.
1080i/p is 1920x1080. but if its a TV it might be lower the 1080i when connected to a PC. but if tis a pc monitor then its full hd.

well the software call badaboom is the 1st product from it it convert video very fast using Nvidia GPU BUT its not free and its not perfect.but i believe other thirdparty company will soon make software to work with CUDA. thats what Nvidia plan and want anyway.
if you said there are better upgrade THEN, so OP might as well stay with his GX2 i believe it will play everything well at 1920.no?

Well I bought another GX2, I kept the 4870 X2, and put it in the Secondary computer for now.
THe GX2 Quad scales really well, atleast witht he latest drivers!! I'm really shocked!
My vantage score doubled, and Crysis went up by 40%!!!
Quad GX2s perform better than 1 4870 X2 thats for sure!!! So I'll wait for a CrossX motherboard before I put the 4870 X2 in my primary!

im the same, i love buying new hardware all the time. its so exciting getting new hardware, even the unboxing process of a new gpu is fun
I only have an 8800gtx, upgrading sometime next week. do you think the 9800gx2 is still a good option? all the spotlight is on the ati 4k series and the GT200 series i almost forgot about the 9.

1080p is 1920x1080
1200p is 1920x1200
p stands for progressive, meaning the frames are shown in one full pass
i is interlaced, meaning frames are shown with half the lines at one time[dont know how to explain it any better]
monitors have different aspect ratios i believe 16:10?
and tv's have 16:9?
i would stick with the 4870x2, cause 2x 9800gx2's shouldn't yield a great perfomance increase, but will increase your electrical bill....
i wouldn;t have gotten the 4870x2 in the first place, i think the 9800gx2 can get the job done

well the second GX2 only gave you 40% increase isnt good when you got theoratically 100% more in raw horsepower. maybe you can config them 1 GX2 go graphics and the 2nd GX2 do the physics but its sad Crysis dont do physics on GPU otherwise you should see much bigger gain since in the game there is alot/full of physics items.
in the uk its not any better either.
