3870x2 after the 4870x2 arrives. I expect a 9800gx2 will also be usable in a triple or quad SLI setup once drivers get worked out. Still, triple SLI for the 9800gx2 or CrossfireX for the 3870x2 are enthusiast choices that need a CPU and PSU to match. Dual...

with the Radeon x2, you will be very disappointed. Anyways, in reality, anything above 50fps is pure bragging rights and thats all. I'm not a fanboy, i own an 8800GT myself, but seeing the performance of the 3870x2 i have doubts about the 9800gx2. The 3870x2...

on Nvidia motherboards, but only for the Nvidia cards, so two lowly 9600gts in SLI could beat a single 3870x2 in two FPS's (but still lose in 3DMark06). So, if the 9800gx2 beats the 3870x2 in Crysis by a few fps, then it will be all over message boards and...

right not the 9800GX2 and the 3870X2 are even!!! If you want max frames, the 9800GX2 will be for you. If you want to save money so you can pay for rent... or food, the 3870x2 will be for you. thanks for clearing that up for me cnumartyr (seriously) i...

been mentioned on price and performance. Everything else is purely speculation. ^Agreed. Well frankly this should be fairly easy to find out. We know the 3870x2 performs just like two 3870s in crossfire, and we know a 9800GTX2 performs 30%-50% better than...

intrested in the 9800GX2 or 3870x2, they will have more power than any single card solution. I post a few times on the 9800gx2. Mainly because it can use my duel screen setup. I'll have to disable its sli feature since its an sli card. So the 9800gx2 is useless....

to need more than my old unit. Well then, the fastest video card out there right now, the 3870x2 will last you quite awhile. If you can wait awhile, the 9800GX2 and the 3870x2 refresh (GDDR4) will be out soon. What resolution do you play games at? And what...

overpriced. If you're in the category of someone who can afford 4 GTX 280's then go for it, but if you're not in that price range of lucky gamers, don't decide on ditching an 8800gts 512, a pair of 8800gt in SLI, a 9800gx2 or even a 3870x2 just for one or...

My only criticisms of Nvidia regarding the 9800gx2 is that they should have done dual GPU on one PCB like ATI's 3870x2. Sometimes, they react to ATI and aren't as forward thinking as they should be. Regarding launches, ATI actually had the 3850 and 3870...
