XFX 9800GX2

INTRODUCTION

Well today NVIDIA and its board partners are introducing NVIDIA’s new high-end GPU the 9800GX2.  We should actually just call this NVIDIA’s new card since like AMD/ATI’s 3870X2 this is a card using 2 GPU’s.  NVIDIA has been down this road before with the 7950GX2 of 2 years ago. 

At this time NVIDIA is now bringing the 9800GX2 out to replace its flagship product the 8800 Ultra which until today was still the fastest card out.  We also want to point out that the 8800 Ultra XXX from XFX which we will test against today sold for $889.00 when launched about a year ago at this time.  The XFX 9800GX2 we should see selling for from $599.00 to $649.00 e-tail.
