    they better price these right, say 399USD..no Higher, otherwise it will FLOP.

    no point in spending 650$ on a 9800GTX when one can get 512mb GTS and oc it a lil bit for under 300

    Since the only difference between the 9800 gtx and the 8800gts g92 is the extra sli connector, I wonder if it's possible to run one of each in sli as long as they're clocked the same.

    Really, if the above were true, you would think that you could get 1 GTX and two 8800gts 512s and somehow mod the bios and SLi them together with the gtx in the middle.

    And that's all you need to know.

    For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream.

    at one point or another though, you have to also credit crytek for just how poorly unoptimized the game is too

    That's not the point. The point is that the 9800GTX is a disappointing card, AA or no AA.

    very true,

    no real point upgrading if you have gt/x/s/ultra already

    I picked up a second gtx for cheap off ebay and i'm happy

    8x AA is unrealistic with that game tho, especially at that resolution.

    can we see some dx10 non AA very high results?
