I think someone here bought it and he posted about that. Sorry, i forgot his name so i cant tell.
Anyway, if you want to have some real experience because you are willing to get one. Then i'd say wait till 9800GTX then ask about it

SLi, Crossfire, and X2 solutions never get you a decent price for performance return.

If you say so, then we clearly have the winner, the GTX.

I apologize for being off-topic but i have a question

Give me a 790i Ultra and 9800GX2 recommendation

I've looked at the Evga, XFX, and Asus motherboard and corresponding 9800GX2 solutions

The company that i choose will manufacture both the mobo and the 9800GX2, so who should i go with?

Just WAIT for more reviews and official pricing on the 9800GTX before you buy the GX2.

current reviews look very promising for the 9800GTX. I would get that as opposed to the GX2.

Yeah I'll go for it, first wanted the 9600GT Sli, but as SLi is still pretty unstable I'll rather go for the GTX. Probably offers better performance.

What?I highly doubt that as it can give 2x the performance of a 8800GT in higher resolutions.I dont think the GTS can even come close to ever giving 2x the performance of an 8800GT under any circumstances.

We could say that the 9800GTX is a better version of the 8800GTX, or ultra.

Dont have the XFX version, but its all the same. Working good for me here, got a decent OC. Looking forward to more mature drivers.

As you said, let's wait for more reviews.

The 9800 GTX is powered by an overclocked G92 chip, the same chip in the 8800 GTS (512MB).

Why do i care?

It's obvious that the architecture of the 9 series is different as 9600GT keeps up with 8800GT having half as many SP's and looking at the 8 series it is clear that the no. of SP's have the biggest impact on raw performance.

Stop trying to act as if you know it all by just looking at the specs of graphics cards.It doesnt work that way.
