Rurmor is between $370-$400 so if it's true then it'll be cheaper then even getting two 3870's in Crossfire.

If that's the case then it doesn't seem to have a price advantage over two 3870's on Crossfire, and both will have petty much the same performance. Give or take a few FPS here and there. I say you can't go wrong with either option at this point.

?

An 8800 ULTRA installed in a similar rig gets around 9000.

This is also at a resolution of 2560x1600, so anything near 10000 would translate into playable frame rates (bar Crysis, which still needs a lot of work).

It will. It's slightly smaller then a 8800 GTX. It's barely 10 inches long. The Geforce 9800 GX2 on the other hand looks to be pushing almost 12 inches :|

CPU clocked @ 3.6Ghz...

We have no clue if the GPU is overclocked aswell.

Rumour also has it that the 9800GX2 is going to cost in the region of $700 so if ATI can get the HD3870X2 out for that much then I know which card I'll be choosing... :D

$700 isnt worth it. I know the performance upgrade will be somewhere along the line of 40%- 50% which is good compared to the 8800GT but $700 can kiss my hard drive.

It's not slightly smaller than the 8800GTX, it's the same size.

700 is pretty stupid imo..this card is not there to make them money but for bragging rights totally, they know that they will make much more money in the mid-range market but its there just because of the 3870x2 which will be the best card out till it comes out ...

I know, it's totally ridiculous. Tbh, I'm really hoping ATi will give Nvidia a real good caining with this new 3870X2...and all the signs so far indicate that it will.
