LOL. So many ppl here keep saying wait for this wait for that so u can play Crysis nicely with full eye candy on. Cevat Yerli already said in the interviews that Crysis is here to torture hi end rigs for another 3 years. That's about right, based on what Far Cry did to our rigs. After 3 years oni can play Far Cry with everything turned on at 2560x1600 with nice smooth frames. Sooooo, those of u still waiting can continue waiting for 3 more years.

wow...so cool......
hope it wont repeat the 7950GX2 failure......

7950GX2 was not a failure. It was a brilliant card. The failure was Quad SLI with 2 units of 7950GX2 running in SLI.

Many was pissed off after nVidia released the GeForce 8 not too long after they spend on 7950GX2

I'm somewhat disappointed that this is the same old GeForce 8800, and only 30% faster. Something is not right
Probably is just another push for GeForce 8 before finally moving on to a new range of GPU, which makes this GX2 a pointless card to spend on.

I was a 7950GX2 user too. I enjoyed it fully for about 6 months n then moved on to the 8800GTX as soon as it appeared. No need to be pissed as LYN Garage Sale is a wonderful place for chronic upgraders to sell off the stuff that they dont use after upgrading. thumbup.gif

The card looks good but if it performs at only 30% faster than 8800 Ultra...sigh...Well, all of them are based upon G92. That kinda confirms that G92 was released early to thwart AMD's HD38xx series. As mentioned before, don't expect GF9 series to be awesome performer compared to G92.

That 30% is nothing to be sneezed at. Just imagine in my case. I'm currently playing Crysis at 2560x1600. All gfx settings at Medium. My average FPS is now at 50. If I get 30% more with just 1 card, that gives me a lovely 65FPS. If 2 units of 9800GX2 delivers as promised n I get say about 50% more, that wud b awesome.
