    Which GPU's Are Better Than A 9800GX2?

    As title folks, have had the 9800GX2 in one of my siblings machines, he was looking to upgrade but is thinking what to? So, in terms of performance and price which of the GPU's available would outperform this old gem?

    Thanks!

    Not alot

    As previous poster; maybe wait for fermi or the 5 series to drop in price.

    A newer roundup will include the 5800s
