Man this blows. I was hoping for a single dedicated monster card, not some half assed 10% SLi knockoff. Looks like a while before we see a true next gen card from Nvidia, they are hoping this thing holds the crown for a while.
ATi is doing the same shit with their new card, slapping two together on one PCB.

Agreed, not too exciting. Weird that they just slap two 8800s together, essentially, and rebrand it as a 9800. Would have expected more of architecture change. Actually I was expecting the 9600gt to run faster than a 8800gtx, but if the new flagship is only talked about as being 30% faster(which I am sure is generous as all early claims are), I doubt the whole 9000-series is much to talk about.
Well, Nvidia sure doesn't need to do much to fight off competition, that's for sure. But pretty pathetic that they are just appealing to the $1000+ gfx solution SLI crowd, especially when current trends are towards lowering power requirements. Oh well, I am sure someone out there(ie idiots) will buy some just for bragging rights.

Hm, I am pretty confused as to the name here...9800...We had this discussion in another thread recently, and I guess the rumor was true then. I also read somewhere that NV will not launch the GTX version of the G100 when it comes, but rather go with the GT stuff 1st, due to the market. We will see, for me GX2 is simply an interlude...but a pretty lame one as the 7950 GX2 never worked, from a profit point that is. A lot of money for oldish tech...I stick with my 8800GTX until the "TRUE" next gen comes.

Better have Tri-SLI support (God knows who will actually use that), as that's what NV has put their money on with the 780I/790I.
Still lets wait and see what that GTX actually is... |

Tri-SLI is silly like quad core cpu.
If the 9800 is to replace the 8800, then my prediction was good: The gpu and cpu won't be any better anymore and maybe for a long while too!

If it's on the same pcb i'm not sure it will be treated as an SLI card, you may get the extra power without any SLI-specific coding. Not sure on this one tho. Might be at driver level..
Either way you'd have to be absolutely insane (or insanely rich/stupid) to consider buying this when the real new nvidias are around the corner. Mad enough to buy any card atm if you can hang on. The 8800gt is cheap for a reason..

I wouldve bought the 3870's for the same reason bought the 8800GTs. So by your argument, anyone who buys good bang for buck cards from ATI is telling them its ok not to have enthusiast cards?
Retardedness. I bought my 3870's because crossfire is superior to SLI in terms of scaling for the most part, and I run a high resolution; and because the motherboard I wanted was crossfire supported, not SLI. Your argument is flawed sir.  |

Probably because they know you can grab 2 8800GT's within a similiar price range by the time that thing comes out.

But man, you can get this for ONLY $449
 You wont fit it in to that Thermaltake Lanbox, but you will get BIG bang for ur bucks
And yea...I am still a NV fan boy, just to make it clear!.
