That's leet shit, how much is it though? The SLI 8800GT perform just as well. You can get a Dual 8800GT + SLI motherboard for the same price looks like.

ps: Does EQ2 still have problem with SLI? Been a long time so I don't know.

Nah EQ2 works fine with SLi. I hate SLi mobos so fuck that.

9800GX2 is $599.99 MSRP and in stock at Newegg already.

1.9x ish tizzle sauce. So they said.

In reality it's all depends on what game you're playing. Expects lower numbers though. Something in the range of 1.7ish.

I never really get into the specifics/benchmarks of graphics cards, thats why I asked for your opinion last month Gaige (Ty again) but this Nvidia card looks built way better than my ATI. It even looks like it could take a bullet and still operate

I like both cards, so this isn't me shitting on the 3870x2 at all (I own one). I'm just a hardware whore so I feel the need to upgrade ;p

I wouldn't spend the $600 on it anyways. I thought the $450 I spent on the 3870x2 was overdoing it also but I am the corner of 43rd and Harlem hardware whore while you are the Governor of New York type
