dimentionalrift,
1) A graphics card can't do a CPU's job. thus what you're saying in your first point dosn't make sense.
2) The 9800gx2 in SLI would be 4cores VS the 3 Ultras in sli only being 3 cores. Plus when the multi-cores are built-in the card, the performance is better. Hence the 2 GTX's in SLI are worse than one 9800 with its 2 cores.
3) the core of the 9800 is based of the g92 GTS, so perhaps one might be weaker than the Ultra, but it uses two together in 1 card. So it ends up being stronger.
the main problem with the 9800GX2 that you never even mentioned, is that it only has 512 mb per each core. So thats why when it comes to AA, it ends up slowing down alot more than the the Ultra does. Because the Ultra has 768mb for its 1 core, and AA takes up more memory.
and if CPU really is bringing this card's performance down, then all you need to do is set the resolution really high in order to focus on graphics cards' performance.
or you can alternatively set the physics in the game to low, and the particles to low.

Eccentricity is often associated with genius, giftedness, or creativity. The individual's eccentric behavior is perceived to be the outward expression of his or her unique intelligence or creative impulse. In this vein, the eccentric's habits are incomprehensible not because they are illogical or the result of madness, but because they stem from a mind so original that it cannot be conformed to societal norms.
