Last message on previous page:
Its simple here... an ultra and an X2 perform pretty much the same. A 9800GTX2 is supposed to be what? 40% better than an ultra? Now consider that those numbers are most likely inflated, put it down to like 20% on average. I figure if they're the same price, the GTX2. If its $50 more, then its still a viable option.... more expensive than $500 and its a mistake.

Frankly I wouldn't recommend either one. Too much power draw, too much riding on the drivers.

Well the 8800GT (formerly known as 9800GTX) was supposed to be 100% better than the GTX and it ends up being about 10% worse, so if we go by that, the GX2 should be 4% worse than the ultra.

I agree with anyone that says waiting SUCKS, I could've gotten a new computer 6 months ago with a q6600 and an 8800GTX, but no I said, I'll just wait till January for the new mainstream 45nm quads. Its freaking Febuary and I'm still waiting for the mystery Q1 release which could be the last day in March. I got Crysis for christmas and I hate looking at the box wishing I could play it.




man i know how u feel.. i can play crisis but on low settings..i will be upgrading very soon my graphics card i m still waiting for that 9 series to come out and a price drop in 8800 or 3870 so i can efford it.. god its hard to wait :fou:
