9800GX2 yet? I'm still using the 7800GTX OC'ed and watercooled, but the stats are looking really good on the GX2.

Most of the reviews are saying it's pretty crappy for the price, citing that there are no real architecture improvemnts and a narrower memory bus.
Gonna wait and see how this pans out.

True that! 9800GTX's are going for mid $300's on Newegg. Maybe thats more bang for the buck? I haven't done too much research on the latest cards, but I know the numbers are way better than my 7800GTX

EXACTLY. IMO, I haven't seen much that would warrant the price of the 9800GX2. Just out of curiosity, anyone read any comparisons between the 9800GX2 and the 8800GTX?

Yea, HardOCP had a good one. The general feeling was that the small improvement was not worth the hefty price.

You won't need anything more than an 8800GT/GTS for several years.

I think I remember skimming over a little writeup that said the GX2 was about 30% faster, if that...which is kinda nice, but the price difference is not worth it.
