only thing that annoys me atm with the 8x series, is nvidia purevideo problems with aero in vista. Shame they skipped it for the 8x series and had it fixed plus added features for the 9x series.

Keeping my GTX, the only game I cant play at max is crysis, nor can the new 9800GX2. So its pointless atm
Err no it dont. Go look at the Anandtech review. Or get some common sense...
I can run COD4 at 2560x1600 with 4XAA and 8xAF and still get higher frame rates than i get on my GTX with no AA/AF.

Who made you Don?
No one, but if we needed another thread full of **** then people could have posted in one of the existing messy threads.
Will you stop going on about double standards, if you see something that we don't and you feel it breaks rules then RTM it.

so why exactly did you go from an 8800GTX to a 9800GX2 ?
What games can't you play at max settings? (Except Crysis)

I saw that, must be a drive issue
If the GX2 acts as 2 cards in SLI, then thats why the Ultra beats it as Crysis still dont work too well with SLI.
And fact the GX2 will not use 1GB (2x512MB) of Memory fully AFAIK as no SLI does so 512MB v 768MB

im not sure why people are buying this card now, when theres a thread on this forum about NVidia's GT200 and ATI's HD4000 series...that appears to be coming sooner than expected
agreed
Yup
Bring on R700 I say
Damn Nivida fan boys.
The thing is if these new cards from the big N and ATI are only a few months away the top end cards are going to be cheaper than this thing.
Wow talk about a post smacking of arrogance. You "knew" the performance would be as good as this? Yeah i have to say looking at 8800gt sli reviews and taking a few percent off the framerates must take clairovoyant powers on the same level as mystic meg.
As for the last part of your post, wise up.
Yawn. As already mention in the post you replied to some people like myself dont want 2 noisy cards, or dont have a nvidia chipset board for SLI. So if i was to buy two GT's i'd have to pay 100+ for a good board which would bring the cost up to more than what i payed for the GX2. And i still wouldn't have as good performance with the GT's.
And yeah i knew the performance would be as good as this, as it was obvious.
<sarcasm>HMM a card with two G92 cores just like on the G92 GTS's... oh i wonder how that's gunna perform in comparison to two GTS's in SLI.... </sarcasm >
