    "It seems that MSI has been goofing up (well they have the reputation for it) by releasing photo's and details on NVIDIA's upcoming GeForce 9800 GX2, this is NVIDIA's top-of-the-line to-be, so it's never too early to start nerding out. The best way to think of the GeForce 9800 GX2 is a 8800 that's been shrunk down to 65nm and SLI'd onto a "single" card. The card is supposed to be at least 30% faster than a 8800 Ultra, and will apparently support Quad SLI. The details over at MSI show the product with 1GB of GDDR3 memory, MSI's GeForce 9800 GX2 should get a GPU core clock of 660 MHz, the Shaders domain at 1650 MHz and memory at a beefy 2400 MHz".

    So now our best guess is:

    Hypothetical 9800 GTX --------------------------- Hypothetical 9800 GX2
    Stream Processors= 128 ---------------------------- A full 128 stream processor on each card, 256 Total.
    Core= 675MHz ------------------------------------- Core= 600MHz
    Shaders= 1683MHz --------------------------------- Shaders= 1500MHz
    Memory= 2200MHz 512MB GDDR3 (136-pin BGA) ------ Memory= 2000MHz 512MB x 2 (1000MHz GDDR3)
    256-BIT BUS --------------------------------------- 256-BIT BUS
    Two DVI-I and one DHTV-out ----------------------- Two DVI Out
    Two SLI Connectors -------------------------------- Supports Quad SLI Configs.
    Two 6-Pin PCIe Power Connectors ------------------- Not sure.
    Total Board Power= 168W.
