Wow so far it seems mighty powerful in the comparisons. I can only imagine with better drivers and all that good stuff it will be a good competitor until the 9800 GX2.

initial reviews dont show much, must be drivers :) or the 256 bit bus?

It performs just like 2 3870s in CrossFire. So I have no doubt the 9800GX2 will be able to beat it. The more interesting part is the price, $449 is a pretty sweet deal. nVidia's going to have to lower their prices quick when this card hits store shelves. Ahhh, sweet sweet competition...:)

WOW, I thnk I gonna grab a box soon, but it has needs 2 PCIe, don't think my Cooler Master Etreme power 550W can support it. I rather get the Radeon 3870

Damn.. that's as expensive as a HD 2900 XT was at first .

Seems likea sweet deal to me :) . And same old question mark issue... first page
works fine and when I switch the page everything goes down the toilet .

Well.. atleast it can max Crysis out at 1920x1200 ... if the settings were at maximum ( and DX10 ) in the (chinese)review .

But considering the fact , that it has 640 stream processors... not the best , I suppose .

they should fight on the price more, i mean it should be cheaper to produce than 2 separate cards with there boxes and extra stuff

Slightly annoying I have to login at forums to post in latest news articles. My Two Cents on this card: It's great but, try 8 months too late. It's brilliant now, it just topples the Ultra (should do even more so later when drivers mature) but in 6 months when Nvidia's rumoured new series comes out I'm sure you'll find this card being left for dead. In Australia it's expected this card will retail for $600-$650. Compared to a brand-name 8800GTS 512 for $500. I just see this as a 'stepping stone' If they implemented say GDDR 4 I'm sure it would've made it a little more expensive but also a bit more powerful for >future< games.

Wow so $450 for this card is a good deal.I have no doubt that the 9800 GX2 will win in performance but if the support or price is bad then well uhhh.... that sucks. I wonder how expensive the 9800 GX2 will be? Anybody know any info yet?

Most likely 600 USD ... the 8800 U was like 700-800 USD when it first came out , so I suppose the 9800 GX2 ( which is going to replace the 8800 U ) will cost about the same .

Thanks I figured it would probably cost just as much as an ultra. So for an SLI setup would be quite expensive. Dang nvidia and there money hats. Too bad I couldn't stay for lunch since they are having money.
