9800GX2 Released

[Flt. Sgt. Powderhound]

Just stick with one 8800GTX. Honestly, you'll be fine for now.

The 9800 GTX is of course going to be faster. And if it is cheaper go for it. It's just to your benefit to wait a little while longer for the real improved cards to hit the market. No one can REALLY say that they will be amazing but we can all assume so.

ohh.. but would the 9800GTX be better than the 8800GTX? because its alot cheaper than the 8800GTX.. and i was thinking of sli.. so should i sli twoo 8800GTX or 2 9800GTX?

for the 98GTX v 88GTX you'd have to wait for the benchmarks, shouldnt be far off.

going by that guru bench 2x 88GTX is about equal to a single 98GX2 so why get 2x 98GX2's?

no-one knows until their is info on the games, if their anything like crysis doubt the G92's will cut it, will have to see what the next batch of cards have to bring sureley you can wait a few more months?

ohh sorry.. i didnt mean that as a question.. rather just stating i want to feel assured that my pc will be able to cope with future games :)


but thanks for the help and yeah i might wait a while.. i got ot buy a case and a few things first anyway :)

[Scinto]

if future games are anything like crysis then current GPUs wont do the job for those who want super pretty games and playable frames, Q4 will be the best time to ask that Q again :)

Thanks for that Link Scinto i rly wanted to check out Ati's answer to nvidia and those 4*** are looking good and cheap!

The way I see it:
the 9800GX2 is probably hands down the fastest single card out there right now (except it seems to lose power at the highest settings due mostly to current driver support.).

However, it costs way to much. If were to drop a significant amount, it would be worth it. But a $600 price tag just isn't.

600 dollars you think is much..Its about 400 quid here..thats 800bux...we have it worse

IF u play at super high res(which this card is for) the gx2 usually doesnt do much better or lags behind the x2 even.For the price difference I dont think its worth it.

[Eagle101]

price is too much i'd rather take an X2 instead :)

I'd rather save my money altogether.

250 fps is very necessary!
