9800GX2 will be on the top very soon

 

[gurusan]

yup. Looking at preliminary benchmarks it looks like the 9800GX2 will beat the 3870x2 by a fair margin.

Not surprising really.

 

[nOcLuE98]

yeah, and that will get even better. 12K with just the gpu scores is not to bad.

what about hd4870x2

Will most likely destroy the 9800GX2...but then nvidia will release some GT200 based card....so we'll see.

what about hd4870x2

By the time that comes out, I'll snag me a 3870, because I really need a better card on my new budget build (already up and running). Cause even yesterdays cards are now like better then any graphics, that consoles have been able to render for a while.

 

[veg1992]

its supposed to come after a few weeks after the 9800gx2

well good luck to nvidia to hold on to the top, but GO ATI! lets see some competition already

The 8800 vs 2900 was a real laugh, but lets face it...recently ATI have been giving nvidia a bit of competition. The 3870x2 was the fastest gpu for a short while...and ATI has obviously given nvidia a bit of competition in the midrange cards like the 3850 and such...otherwise nvidia wouldn't have bothered with the 8800GS....

or the 9600gt

and the 9800gx2's score of 12.9k is good, but the 3870x2 score of 11.7 isn't far off, and if you look at the 3870 vs the 8800gts, which the 9800 is basically a beefed up gts, the gts is decently better then the 3870, so it isn't suprising that the 9800gx2 is better then the 3870x2.

i'll say what i said in the other 9800gx2 thread, which is the 9800gx2 is basically a bragging rights card for people who can afford it.
