Think this holds any truth? I know it says about clock speeds and drivers are still being worked on. But you think the 3870X2 is gonna be that close in performance?

 

[ChrisUlrich]

Anyone?

Who knows.. I'd wait on some more benchmarks. Or individual results.

9800GX2 is going to be better

Of course it is...

Of course it is...

does he ever say different?

Wait on some more benchmarks, from what i have seen, its basicly an overclocked 8800GTS. Which may or may not perform slightly under 8800GTS in SLI.

you mean, is supposed to be better. I'm gonna wait till some actual benchmarks (in game performance in particular) before saying something about it.

Thats in reference to which card?

 

[ThatGuy16]

The 9800's. They are still using the same core. And from the benchmarks i have seen so far, its no more than a overclocked G92 GTS.

But, its far to early to say anything fore sure. The best thing to do is wait on more individual benchmarks. Its always hard to trust some of these websites.

But I thought the 8800 Ultra was better then a 8800GTS G92?

i thought an 8800 ultra was the best card you can buy...

It was until the 3870x2 came out. But according to the posts in this thread, an overclocked 8800GTS G92 is the same as a 9800X2?

So that makes the 8800GTS G92 better then the 8800Ultra?

 

[ThatGuy16]

no..from what i have seen so far the 9800GTX is nearly the same as the current GTS. The GX2, i would expect to perform right with, or slightly under G92 GTS's in SLI.

They use the same core. But we'll see, too early to say anything for sure. Hopefully its all driver related.
