Just a quickie, tried searching the net, no answers for what I'm looking for.

I was wondering if anyone can confirm the power connectors on the SIDE of the graphics card, similarly to the 8880 GTX/Ultra. Or if they're setup like the 8800 GTS, where they on the back end of the card..

Thanks in advance!

Both the 6-pin and the 8-pin connectors are on the side just like 8800GTX/Ultra.

_{once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.}

So the card takes one 8 pin and one 6 pin cable to power it?!?

That's actually quite low, my single 8800GTX uses 2 6-pins.

Yeah, major pain in the ass. I was all ready to step-up to the 9800GX2 until I realised that I was going to have to dish out over $200 more for a PSU with 8 pin pci-e power slots and modular cabling.

No thanks. I didn't spend hours cleaning up my antec 900 case to just pay to have it look like shit again.

There is should be a molex to 8-pin converter bundled with the 9800GX2.

Goddamn, is there any difference over the 9800GX2 over an 8800GTX? How big is the difference? MASSIVE or shit all?

From what I hear, the 9800GX2 is almost equal to SLI 8800GTX.

Makes sense, 8800GTS 512 is almost equal to 8800GTX...

I'd rather have 2x8800gtx than 1 gx2. The gx2 is hard to cool, its gonna be like a toaster.

a quote from guru 3d

"A very bold heat test

Since heat worries me with this product I closed the chassis, disabled the intake fan and started monitoring what happened. Temperature of the GX2 when fully stressed rose over 100 Degrees C after 15 minutes. Luckily there is a safety built in for overheating, as performance halfed itself. We think that one GPU disabled itself, but how do you prevent that ? Well, buy a very well ventilated chassis."

HAWT! Most sites are doing their tests in open setup so the temp test doesn't tell the truth like in this ^^ test...
