Re: NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GX2 pictured at CeBIT
wow, looks nice.. very chunky!!
 is it just SLI'd together? if so.. will it provide 200% performance or will it be game dependant on how much it gains? |

Re: NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GX2 pictured at CeBIT
Bit of a sod to watercool with two pcbs I'm guessing. I'll wait for a proper single card solution before my next jump.
I must admit, i've never really been convinced by SLI/Crossfire as a solution. |

Re: NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GX2 pictured at CeBIT
Then you'll have to MAKE it fun.
It's easy. Turn the lights off, get tanked up on JD, and set a strobe going in the corner. It'd be like a competition, or something. |
