Yay.. a box covered in nvidia stickers with a PCIe connector sticking out the bottom?

 

[tehblue]

Useless pics, wait, WOW! Cool box!

 

[L33t Masta]

Well...No. It's the 9800GX2. Basically 2 8800GTXs in SLi.

 

[aldy402]

Well...No. It's the 9800GX2. Basically 2 8800GTXs in SLi.

its actually 2x 8800GTs not GTXs , remember its using the G92 core..

 

[Ockie]

Well...No. It's the 9800GX2. Basically 2 8800GTSs in SLi.

Fixed.

 

[L33t Masta]

I say GTX, someone else says GT and someone else says GTS. WTF is it?

 

[w1retap]

I believe it is similar to 8800GTS's (G92).

I hope the box has a misprint: "Up to 90% performance increase over the GeForce 8600 GTS GPU"

 

[Vorazan]

Any idea on MSRP?

Well, to the uninformed that is super duper awesome. Much better than the, what, 30% increase over a single 8800GTX?

I thought it was supposed to be 30% over the 8800ULTRA? And yeah, I think it's just two 8800GTS(G92) cards slapped together.

Regardless, it's FUCKING LONG!

This card is large. VERY large. I wonder how much heat is going to come off this thing.

 

[TopGun]

longcat needs a zalman, stock cooling wasn't doing the job

Finally, nVidia fixed what they did wrong with their other video cards. The end is blunt. Now when someone breaks in your house, you can just take your videocard out of your PC and beat him to death with it.

I saw the shelf price tag for this card tonight at Fry's. It was around $680. Fry's still charges $580 for the 8800GTX Ultra for comparison.

 

[Living Weapon]

So, where's the PCIE power connector?

I hear that if you buy the 9800 GX2, it'll turn you into a man stud and hot babes will be all over you.

Then of course, alcohol does the exact same thing for less.

I'll be buying both then!

That's exactly what happened when I got the 8800GTX. See picture for e-penis size reference.

 

[M.D.Geist]

Wow! That is a seriously huge card! Is that the exhaust? The pic shows some slender openings on the side of the dvi's. I really wonder how efficient is the cooling for that card, and exactly how long (in inches) is that card?! Hopefully not longer than the current 8 series cards :S

@w1retap LOL

 

[bubomatic5]

Even if its not that much of a performance boost over the ultra..

It looks damn sexy
