HOLY $@##$>... thank you!!!

is it better than gt 280 right?

edit: yes 95% of time... 9800gx2 is slightly better than gtx280

but still very good for 289!!! ( compare to my evga gtx 260 ssc for 299)

i still worry about future... i might have to upgrade 9800 gx2 soon as new video card is out... i REALLY hope the value is not go down very steep...


ps. really can my p5q deluxe and hx620 support it? i think so...

i did read that review... but i dont know how if it can support 9800gx2...


oh btw... i think about quad-sli (2x 9800gx2)?

am i crazy or what? i mean 578*12% tax = 611 better than over 1000cdn

<< wont use it on large lcd or something... but just show off? or will it make my eyes to bleed when play the game...? is really "not" necessary to have sli?


ps. i still wonder what price of 4870x2 (sadly its very faster than one 9800gx2) will be...?

The psu puts out 50amps on the 12v rail.
nVidia recommends minimum power supply with +12 volt current rating of 26 Amps.

You would not be able to run 2 of these cards.

A web sight I was reading today claimed the 4870x2 would probably surface around the $550 mark US.
As it will be the top dog for a while, I would not be surprised to see start out at $600-650 here in Canada. [/extreme speculation]
