Dude, its already going to be Quad-Sli if you have it in Normal SLi physical setup.

Why are you complaining.

y eye... You need to stop trolling.
Your post is pointless and has no bearing on the thread other than to start up crap.

This is your only warning.

If he has, he'd know it has 5 sides. Not 6.

He was probably thinking of "tetra-" when he said "petra". Tetra- is a prefix for 4 (from Greek).

I didn't play with the blocks all day and never took the time to act the teacher what is it called past Quad. or Square :rofl: I was to busy playing with the Old school IBMs. Or the Lisa IIs.

Anyways, On a Serious note, Not cool to sig me for not knowing anything of the # for things. such as Octa, Pentra, tetra and such.

Yeah, seriously.... dont sig him for that, been a long time since geometry.... :shrug:

im thinking of step up to 2 x GTS G92 SLI, then wait for G100 GeForce 10800 GTX lol or w/e it will be called

R680 is just like this anyway .... quad SLI, quad fire performance will vary, and hopefully they can get good drivers out .... but after seeing how well the 7950GX2 SLI performs compare to just a single GX2... im not counting on it ...

really debating on whether i should just get two of R680/9800GX2, or 2 of G100 (if i can wait that long ..) ... since R700 is not comin this year?? or is it??

I'm debating too, I got the money easy if its only under 500 bucks.

Thread cleaned....not sure what that was, but those weren't the first posts of that type from "y eye". Shouldn't be a problem any more.

You can get two 512mb gt's here in Can for $239cad each so may as well just get two of those. We are assuming this will be slower then two gt's of course tho correct? I guess for a single 16xpcie slot board though this is the solution.

I am a little disappointed they called it the 9800gx2 however, meaning the whole 9x00 series will just more revamped 8x00s?:confused: :shakes:

Its not a performance problem, Remember 2.0 has alot more bandwidth then 1.1, So I don't think we have to worry about that.

Also, I think its a different core, if you look the cores on the 8800GT, and the 8800 GTS 512mb.

They are G92, but have a Different Sub-Number.

This card will be using the G92-400-A2 core.Same modified core of 8800GT/S.
And the 9800GTX will replace the 8800GTX and is just a 65nm die shrink.
The only new thing is that it has HDMI,no more...

Why do they announce it like next generation?

Well can you blame them (as a business). . Why do they need to release anything new whilst their cards are still on top?
This sucks we need ATI to get into its game or we need to devise an evil scheme to get one of the forumers as the new Nvidia CEO.

As with everyone i'm not too excited about this card. Sure it's good, and *hopefully* SLi will get some meaningful work driver wise. For me though i'm a single card user, hence not that excited about this.

That sounds like a good plan :D, I'm in......:yepp:

i dun't know if anyone's seen this but tom's hardware got an exclusive with the card:

http://www.tomshardware.com/2008/01/...force_9800gx2/

Not that pretty lookin...

but its going to be pretty cheap, $450.

Probably a MSRP of $450, so street prices will be +$500.
HD3870x2 is suppose to have a MSRP of under $400, so hopefully that will have a street price of ~$400.

I think 6 = hexa?

hmm

Any tests yet..? Must have one of those for benching...

it doesn't actually look that bad to be fair.

and for those still debating sides;
