[H]ard|OCP has the exclusive on NVIDIA's upcoming 9800 GX2 graphics card.
"The best way to think of the GeForce 9800 GX2 card is as an 8800 GPU that has been die shrunk to 65nm and placed in an SLI configuration in a "single" card. The 9800 GX2 is very reminiscent of 7950 GX2 of days past. (And we loved the 7950 GX2 at launch, but terrible support and diminishing returns soon painted it as one of NVIDIA's biggest failures since the 5800 series.)
The GeForce 9800 GX2 will launch in late February or early March as it now stands and will replace the 8800 Ultra (single GPU) card in NVIDIA's high-end product line up. The 9800 GX2 is said to be 30% faster than a 8800 Ultra. While it is not clear from the pictures below, we are told it will support "Quad SLI.""

This is a fun game and it will be interesting to experience it in V.R. Play through a brand new story as you fight to gain a foothold in the perilous Overlands, battling the elements and the many colossal creatures that reside in the forest.
The ray tracing update Diablo IV on PC has been released, and if you're wondering whether there's a noticeable improvement, read ahead.
This could be a future upgrade.
SLi single card? NICE. Well I just got an 8800 GT 512MB anyways, and I'm not mad, it's pretty darn good for the cost.
Edit: Updated impressions. Why is it called the 9800GX2? It's two 8800's glued together. Plus, it will be limited by the 256 bit bus size. Nice one NVidia, I'll just buy 2 8800GT's because it will be the same size and almost the same power as this one for a lot less.
It plays games and heats my whole house!!! My electric bill only just quadruple because I require a small nuclear reactor to run my pc.
No really... what is the power requirements, the GTS and Ultra is already stupid insane enough.
oh and srr to ask but can someone please pm me and tell me how i can get one of those icons? thx in advance
A vid card with 1 gig frame buffer. The power, the absolute power!!
