sounds and looks very promising - I am waiting for my 790i :D
IS 790 really good?..... :D
Its looking to be the top 3D board available. The bus speeds are reaching the cpu's limit easily, I doubt GTL will get much more for us. Bandwidth wise, the writes are above par (read/write/copy). They can push DDR3 to its limit.
The only drawback atm is vdroop and vmem and moth are fixable with mods.
Hmmm......Thanks Charles.....I think that I'll try an ASUS Striker one..... :D
The 790i seems to be a godsend for people running Wolfdales who want SLi, only fly in the ointment is people like their cheap DDR2 so what you save with wolfdale you lose going to DDR3 of course.
Nice benching and good results of course :toast:

Hey Charles, great numbers for 5.4Ghz :up:
These 9800GX2 is really of the most fun and motivating cards I ever test in my (our) Favorite Game ..
Cant wait to arrived home from Easter weekend to play again and to find the best tweaks for this doublle sandwich green card :D
Has nVidia implented the same 'technology' of the 9600GT in the 9800GX2 as well?
(You know: overclocking the card via the pci-e bus)

All 9 series do it seems.
In that article they assume that the pci-e 'technology' is implented as well, but there's no graph or data to support that hypothesis.
Looks really good Charles...
Lol consider them as two cards to give x2 a chance... what do you think George will say now hehe...
Which fpo is the cpu?...
