First of all, I'm not the type of person who needs to game at 2560X1600 with all the highest details and AA on.I just casually game at resolutions of 1440X900 and 1680X1050. .I Currently have a 9800gt and yes I know it is considered crap by some hardcore gamers but for me it still gets the job done.Games such as Mafia 2, Skyrim, Mass Effect 1 and 2, Just Cause 2, Dirt3 etc all run well considering the date of the system. My system is a core2duo based pc with 4gigs ddr2 ram and the games still look and run better than the console versions.I know the 9800gx2 is a 2008 card but i thought that since the performance in theory is supposed to be twice that of a single 9800gt, it might be worth it.I also saw that the 9800gx2's performance is comparable or if not a bit better than the gtx260. I'm eventually going to build me an i5 sandy bridge setup with the 9800gx2 but for now i'll put the card in my g31 motherboard.Considering that the Gx2 is a dual gpu card, I also need clarity as which games will make use of both gpu's.Any help would be appreciated.
