Finally NVIDIA 9800 GX2 released!

Though this most awaited video card is not yet ready for prime time, it keeps the enthusiasts at bay. Consider this, the bad performance offered by the drivers makes the Quad SLI benchmarks had to be postponed. As of now, Nvidia's aim with the GeForce 9800 GX2 is simple, as with all very high end cards. NVIDIA wants to take back the coveted title of the most powerful videocard that it had surprisingly lost by a small margin to its rival ATI's Radeon 3870 X2 came out. It not usual, even today, to build a card on two mainstream chips. Yet, as I had said before, it's a design that has some advantages from a production point of view. We aren't the only ones to take this position. NVIDIA's CEO himself stated last month that he was convinced the GeForce 8800 GTX remained the most powerful card and that a single GPU board was the best approach, though if a dual-GPU board was the fastest in the world, it would be accepted.
