|  | | GeForce 9800 GX2 Pictured |
The best way to think of the GeForce 9800 GX2 card is as an 8800 GPU that has been die shrunk to 65nm and placed in an SLI configuration in a "single" card. The 9800 GX2 is very reminiscent of 7950 GX2 of days past. The GeForce 9800 GX2 will launch in late February or early March as it now stands and will replace the 8800 Ultra (single GPU) card in NVIDIA's high-end product line up. The 9800 GX2 is said to be 30% faster than a 8800 Ultra. While it is not clear from the pictures below, we are told it will support "Quad SLI." Read More | | 13 Comments | | | | | The GX2 products should be boycotted for the lack of software support. Nvidia promised in 2006 to make Quad SLI work fully around Q1 2007, and they haven’t kept their promises. During 2007 they barely released updates and they left GX2 users in the dark after they spent a lot of cash on two GX2s. Quad SLI sucked and Nvidia failed keeping their word. | | | | that is one ugly son of a bitch | | | | I was just going to say if its supposed to support quad SLI perhaps they best get working on there drivers. I hope it performs well because that card is UGLY  | | | | Quote:

Agreed -I would wait a long time before buying one of these as Nvidia aren't exactly reknown for their "out of box" software support. Be careful -if you jump into this too hastily you could be lining yourself up for a real nightmare and much disappointment...especially if you're thinking of an SLi setup |

Dissapointed that all nvidia is doing for their new line is doubling up the 8800 | | | | Wow, what a piece of junk. Funny how ATI is doing something similar. | | | | a 9800 which is 8800 sli?
and its only 30% faster than ONE Ultra?
wtf? so 8800 gt sli is faster than one of those? *fg*  | | | | Quote:

They're cards look better even if they get beaten performance wise. That's one of the few things that hasnt given problems on mine. | | | | i would'nt take this as fact, nvidia has already said they wouldn't be revisting the GX2 lineup. | | | | Quote:
