9800GX2 benchmarks (56K, small screens warning)
Nah... not some 3DMark06 benchies anymore. Here are some results with Zotac 9800GX2.
  Testbed: Asus Maximus, chipset Intel X38 2x1024 Mo DDR2-800 OCZ Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6850, quad-core, 3 GHz Western Digital Raptor 74 Go Western Digital Raptor 150 Go Samsung 250 Go DVD Samsung Creative Audigy Power PC & Cooling Silencer 750 watts Cooler: Zalman 9500 AT Softwares: Windows Vista Ultimate ATI Catalyst 8.3 Forceware 174.53 Crysis    FEAR   ___________________________ WIC    Unreal Tournament 3   Colin McRae DiRT   Enemy Territory - Quake Wars   Need For Speed Pro Street  Company of Heroes DtX9 et DX10    9800 GX2 Vs SLI de 8800 GTS 512  Quad-SLI vs single card.    Source: NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GX2 : Introduction Guru3D review: BFG GeForce 9800 GX2 1024MB review Hmm... IMO: $600 is waaaaaaaaay too expensive for this kind of performance... although... 4xAA with virtually no loss or very little loss (3fps) in performance is nice. And hey, nice to know it works on chipsets that don't support SLI, too.

Well, it saves you the trouble of having to prepare a SLI-ready rig.
 But for the price, I think you might as well get a dual 9600GT or dual 8800GT/GTS setup. At least it beat 3870X2 in gaming performance. Yay?Edit: And I find the card... looking suspiciously like a smaller PS2.

Wow that performance is not much better than a 8800GTS/GTX/Ultra and they're going to be selling them for $600 a pop?
I thought they would at least gotten Crysis to run decently or at a constant 60 FPS or faster with this new card. a 10 - 15 increase is hardly worth considering to purchase given that the slight FPS increase was mostly due to the two patches Crysis has had since debuting.

This card is powerful, but the price doesnt feel justified.

Alienware adds the NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GX2, nForce 790i to its Area-51 - Engadget
that was fairly fast

Yeah, I'd presume that it is for people who haven't really bought something like the 8800GT or above....
..... My question is, why are most GeForce9000 series aren't DX10.1 compliant? ATI's 3000 Series are compliant? Why do so? Seems fairly natural to add support.

Seems like nVidia won't be releasing 10.1 compliant chips until 10.1 is widely used. I mean... 10 is BARELY used, talk about 10.1?

After all, it won't increase the price that bad to add 10.1 + if they don't add it, it won't help make 10.1 more widely used. It's not like Ati had any problem adding 10.1, nor should it be that hard. It's just stupid to wait for it to be widely used if they don't help it being used, nay? My guess would be that they are simply waiting to get people to buy new shiny powerful DX10 cards so they can wait and use dx10.1 as a way to make them upgrade later on. Makes sense, make powerful DX10 card, wait for DX10.1 to be used, release new cards with dx10.1 to make people who don't need to upgrade actually buy a new card, for dx10.1. I can't really see any other reason, since adding dx10.1 support ain't a pita. Adding 10.1 just makes sense. It helps make it more widely used since more cards support it + it's being nice with your customers, since they won't have to buy a new card to get access to dx10.1. It's not like a 9800gx2 couldn't support dx10.1... (Hell, if Nvidia is ready to buy Physx and work on adding it to their cards... They can work on DX10.1)

Thanakil :
Hmm... That makes sense in a business perspective...... Just release card right now to fool customers into thinking the 9000 series are improved versions then release the 10000 series with DX10.1 into forcing customers to buy them when DX10.1 comes, makes sense....

@ most conclusion pages. Yeah... this thing is HEAVILY priced... even more so than the PS3. And heck...? I mean... even higher priced than a PS3??? Thank you. I know consoles reign now. Gee... and to think the PS3 has an... nVidia GPU inside. Talk about irony.

From a marketing POV this is an important card. They've got the crown again, which helps building the image that therefore all the other nVidia cards must be better than ATi in general as well. It's simplistic reasoning that works for most who don't know much about it, and don't care. You pay a big premium that in my opinion just isn't worth it, but well, there is a market for it. I'd rather wait for a completely new lineup and aim for a card that gives most performance/€.

The card was never meant to have a good price to performance ratio. Its there to be the best, and from the looks of it, its done just that.
IMO the only bad news from the results is that most likely the 9800GTX isn't going to perform any better than this, and there isn't a particularly huge gap between the 8800 Ultra and the 9800GX2... so the way I see it, its not going to pull off any miracles in terms of performance... On the other hand, this will give AMD a chance to get themselves together again.
