![]() It would be interesting to see a head-to-head with a CrossfireX setup as well. While AMD/ATI may not be able to compete very well on a single-card to single-card basis, when you go to three video cards, things may change a bit. |

![]() I'm particularly disappointed with Nvidia's naming scheme on this one. Don't get me wrong, it does look like it brings a lot of good things to the table vs. the 8800 GTX. But it earns the title 8850 GTX or similar, not one indicative of an all new series. Unfortunately we don't have both setups under the same roof this time around, but a CrossfireX config is working its way through the Rage3D labs and, IMHO, the review will be most interesting. |

![]() Like the quick rundown of review, good job. Wow! can't believe my GTX is about as good as it gets for single GPU cards yet after a year and a half. I am looking forward more for next generation stuff, maybe DX 11 as well if Ray tracing actually goes mainstream with real time rendering. |

![]() I would have liked to include the 8800GT but time restraints and trying to maintain consistency with the other reviews I wasnt able too. I did keep the 8800GT SLI results in there though. The 8800GT is typically a good deal slower than the 9800GTX in alot of cases. I found some cases to be in the range of 20-25%. Not that its a bad value. But consider the 8800GT originally came out for the 299-349 price tag that the 9800GTX is assuming now. It makes me wonder what Nvidia's plans are for the 8800GT. Probably sit it at around the 200 dollar mark.

![]() If there is going to be a 9800 GT -- which I doubt......it may have similar stream processors with higher clockings, and maybe the ability to have Tri-Sli. It doesn't make much sense to replace the 8800GT and 8800 GTS 512 products considering all of them may be replaced with the 99XX family. It did make sense to replace the Ultra and GTX even if it's just a few months or so from now. We may see a more polished naming with the 99XX family but who knows for sure or if this even comes to any level of fruition. 9900GT 9900GTS 9900GTX 9900X2 |

![]() No and why I use the wording "non-ideal" naming scheme because they may offer some confusion for some. The ideal naming scheme would of been this for the G-92's: 8900GT 8900GTS 8900GTX 8900GX2 Instead of this: 8800GT 8800GTS 512 9800GTX 9800GX2 But what can you do? |

![]() Hehehe. You say "non-ideal", I say "deceptive business practice". You say Tomato, I say tomato. (how does one stress a single letter in a word?)

Yes I sorry. This was a typo we corrected early on. The 9800GTX should have read "8800GTX". We fixed this on the 1st. I would have noticed your post sooner if not for the April Fools joke and my subsequent ban resulting from it. :P
