Is this true? 9800GX2 is just G92 8800GTS put together? It's a little bit disappointing if it's true..

Anyway, I wonder why they like Dual-chip solution so much.. I know it's cheaper this way, but the software doesn't usually support dual-chip cards unless patched. Which means, need to wait for the developers and GFX card maker to supply the drivers to play the game..

I hope it doesn't end up like 7950GX2..

Well, the thing about Crysis is it doesn't scale too well with CF or SLI setups. If everything works right, it should get an enhancement of 70-80% over single card.

Hopefully, the developers will come out with a patch that fixes this.

As for 3DMarks, I think 3DMark03 is a better benchmark than '06. It's not bottlenecked by processor that much, unless you're running triple card configuration.

Well, it's no surprise it has the same problems with CF. It is, after all, a dual-GPU solution. If you take a look at the CPU-Z, it says "Crossfire: Enabled". So, I think it's still using the same Crossfire communication between the GPUs.

There's one more advantage for 3870 X2 over CF, you don't need to buy an expensive CF-mobo to use it. Which is a huge plus considering CF-mobo is expensive.

But, I really hope DAAMIT can fix the AA performance hit. Enabling AA really hurts any ATi cards.

* Just for some information, DAAMIT is the new ATI/AMD name.

Nah, what I meant is that it's still using the same driver for X2 and CF.. So the performance will be roughly the same..

Nice improvement for Crysis, but it's still not enough =D
What's the setting for Crysis? Ultra High or High?

Anyway, ASUS also has dual fan for 3870X2, and as usual bundled with Company of Heroes.

What games are bundled with the HIS? Is it the Black Edition?
