They arent that good, basicaly two 8800gtses or 9800gtxes in one card, they arent sold anymore because the 200 series replaced them on the high end market.

After having one for some time now - it's a good choice if you plan on using f@h. Dual card folding on a single card. It was a considerable gain in performance though since I moved from a 8800gts 640. Other than that... you're stuck with stock cooling it exhausts its hot air out the side of the card into the case (unless you have a side fan which will blow the air out) rumors of it only being able to use 512mb of its 1gb of ram If you planned on using any programs that use the videocard for processing, only 1 core will be used instead of both (128sp instead of the full 256sp).
[QUOTE="ferret-gamer"]the 9800gx2 and gtx 280 are around the same performance in alot of games, and the 9800gx2 is a little better in some.artiedeadat40
I can't think of any. Mabey at low resolutions with no AA.
In benchmarks, the 9800gx2 is faster than GTX 280 in most games. http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=3341&p=13 That said, I would still have a GTX 280 over a 9800GX2 any day.

I woulda got a 9800gx2 instead of this hd3870x2 if I had only waited one week, pretty noticeable performance difference. Life is so cruel :(
