    I don't get it. Isn't this basically 9800 GX2?
    Notice any grammar or spelling mistakes? Feel free to correct me! Thanks

    The card is pretty cute, actually. Looks quite short to me. Prolly shorter than my custom PCB 8800GT even. Still, it doesn't even support DX10.1, so.. 200 dollars max and it MAY be a good seller.

    Card would be amazing for F@H if priced correctly.

    Another tall PCB card. Looks pretty good. Too bad G92 is so old...

    Great card for FAH and if priced right, for titles that scale well in SLI.

    These GPUs belong to the junkyard, but isn't this a part of a new trend?.

    nVidia has always been re-branding by just re-naming and re-boxing the same junk, almost untouched. But I have seen a few special re-branding lately. They are refreshing and re-branding at the same time, by mixing several of the same (or different) junkyard-worthy GPU on a fresh PCB design.

    They could've given us standard mounting hole spacings No reason for tighter spacing given the layout

    Realistically.... no need for stronger cooling than a good chiller

    But still, unless you are super picky with AAAAAA and max settigs all over the place, these GPU's still rock most games, especially if your building rigs for your wifes and sons that do some gaming,...

    This card will do good, only if the price is right.

    NO way! Its completely different! Its a GTS 250, a whole new generation newer!

    In all seriousness, I don't really see the point. With the GTX 260, 275, 280, 285, etc they've basically rendered 9800GX2 or GTS250 X2, whatever, rather pointless. And that was over a year ago when the GTX 200's came out. We're on the verge of Fermi, so who would realistically want a dual GPU card now 4 generations old? Unless this is HD 5770 price range, there's going to be very little to no market for it IMO.

    There is always somebody who wants to save a few $, but it is kind of hard to justify a hot and power hungry old junk (compare to new generation GPU with dramatic die shrinks). Besides, how can you recommend a GPU without DX11 today?

    It is not just the price that counts. Performance, power usage, heat and functions (specifically DX11 for now) counts a lot too.

    Card looks excellent. If it has the right price and 1GB of memory unlike the 9800GX2 it might sell nicely. Remember it's a souped up G92 (not much but still...) and it will probably be around or over a GTX285 in performance. Besides that, something that justifies DX11 is oh so far away.
