whats this i've come across here and there about a 9800GX2 being faster than a GTX 280 (some newegg reviews)? is that true? i ask because i stepped up from a 9800GX2 back in nov i think because the price dropped so drastically on the 9800 and i figured heck, for 30 some dollars i can have the latest and greatest and not lose so much money on what i initially paid.
at the time i was gearing up for SCII and Diablo 3 but considering there's no definite date on those i'm wondering if i should sell my 280 while it's still got some value and hold on to that money for another upgrade closer to release or what?
i bought the GX2 to play crysis and after playing crysis and running a couple of vantage benchmarks it didn't render another game after that. aside from playing quake live my 280 hasn't gotten any kind of workout either, not even a bench, so i really feel like i need to ditch it before it drops down drastically in price too and i lose out.
