9800GTX Review thread

[bluehaze]

The real question here...I'm upgrading from a 7800GT.

For ~$600 USD, do you get buy a GX2 or two GTX's or wait until the 9900's?

I've compared benchmarks with my results and 2 9800GTX is faster than 1 9800GX2 by about 5-6FPS in Crysis bench. 9800GTX will definitely be the fastest but if you don't already have an SLi mobo then 9800GX2 might be the better option.

Same as what I had gathered from all the reading and benchmark comparisons. To be chipset agnostic, the GX2 is the best move...but if you want to run on an SLI mobo, then 2 GTX's would be the best bet for ~$600.
