That is nuts, 3 9800 GTX or 4 9800 GX2 to play crysis max.

How will the new Nvidia Cards compare to this?

EDIT: How come 4 9800 GX2 did barely better then 3 9800 GTX, isnt a GX2 supposed to better?

Quad SLI uses only two 9800 GX2s not four (GX2 is a dual GPU card so 2 cards = QSLI) you can't put 4 GX2s together.. as far as I know!!

Each GPU in the 9800GX2's are clocked slower than the 9800GTX's. That, and Crysis is notoriously bad for multi-GPU scaling for either CrossFire X or SLi. You can get a nice increase with two GPU's, but after that, it tanks badly unless you were to try running the CPU overclocked under a vapochill or something.

A Mac Pro with two quad-core Xeons and 32GB of vRAM. Would also go to explain why Crysis scales so poorly with multi-GPU; intel's 5000 series chipsets for their Xeon stuff has no multi-GPU support whatsoever.

It's not 4 9800 gx2's. It's 2 of them. Two 9800 gx2's = quad sli.

Crytek just did a bad job optimizing there game. Hell I can make the original doom get shat for FPS on a highend card too... (Well, I doubt it... but it works as an example!!) but it does not make it "ahead of its time".

I get that (atleast) with one 9800. So yes, sounds a bit low.
