Holy shit! Because of my usertitle I immediately went to the appropriate benchmarks and saw... 54 fps on 1920x1200 @ very high. OMFG. That's 20 fps more than the performance of Tri-Sli 8800 Ultra. I'm so gonna buy this card!
Does anyone know if it might run on a 620 watt enermax liberty? I don't know if power consumption has been mentioned because I just clicked Crysis benchmarks, saw it, got in a shock, and did a dance. I do not even want to read the rest :S

"When it comes to global power consumption, the system doesn't seem to need more than 350 W (meaning 300 W for the configuration itself once we subtract power supply losses). A power supply unit of 580 W minimum, as NVIDIA demands, is surreal overkill. Even when future games better use quad core processors and graphic cards, a model from a good brand that delivers 450 W continuously should be more than adequate."

My 550W brand new PSU died a couple months ago. All I have is a 7950GT.

Yes.

Y E S.

YES!!!

Thanks for that information.

So when is the 9800GTS coming out? I have until April 13th until my EVGA swap policy ends.

These are DX10 Benchmarks right?

In the game benches I looked at, yes.

From the article:

... but the 9800 GX2 is barely better than a simple GeForce 8800 Ultra. The blame, just like on the 3870 X2, is on the amount of memory being limited to only 512 MB, a quantity incompatible with the very high resolutions and even more with antialiasing. Numbers speak for themselves, when the 9800 GX2 out performs the 8800 Ultra (with 768 MB) by 29% on average and up to 41% in 2560x1600, activating antialiasing at this resolution shortens the gap to 13%! Yet, in many games, it's the only mode that still isn't smooth and the 9800 GX2 doesn't deliver much.

All I know is that I run all games at high resolutions 1920x1200 or higher and the 9800GX2 doesn't deliver much with those games at high res with AA and AF ON. 10-13% is nothing... IMO.

Also certain games don't need a performance boost. Why does my old game I barely play need its 80-100 FPS increased to 150-200 FPS? It's a pointless FPS increase as my monitor is capped at the refresh rate of 60mhz. It can't refresh any faster.

PS: The only reason Nvidia made this card is so that the can say they have fastest single card GFX solution (to top ATI's 3870x2). It's sort of like 8800 GTS SLI on a single card, and yet without enough memory (for high resolutions with AA and AF :: ON).

Apparently the card is 295mm, so i measures to see if my case can take it....its too dam close to see.

Btw i have a Antec 900.

My 8800 Ultra fits a little snug, the 9800GX2 is the same length.
