Opinions on the Nvidia 9800 GTX

[Marious]

Could some of you guys that have been doing this for a while let me know what there thoughts are on the 9800 GTX. Worth it? Not Worth it? Anyone on here that owns it and what they think. Comparison to the 9600GT if you have had both.

Thanks, just saw it and wondered what others thought about it. Might be a thread already out there I'll take a quick look and see.

Thanks,

I actually have 2 of these in my system at work. I don't have the opporotunity to dual-box much in my office, but i have done it multiple times..

I have run 5 easily (but then again i have 2).

I would say purchasing one would definitely help you out in the D-B(dual-boxing) world, but it also has to do with other devices on your computer, such as ram and processor speeds.

At home i have 2 computers... one of them gaming and the other is where i do allot of my "Buisness shit" (digital paperwork....).

my gaming comp haves a 3.2 amd dual core with dual geforce 9600gt's and 8 gigs of corsair ram. It runs like a dream and you can get the 9600's now for $100 bucks (which is a great price IMO).

see link for 9600gt - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150304

Anyway... to stop blabbering and get to the "my opinion" that you asked for... i would say go with the 9600 gt... i loved it when i bought the first one so much so i bought another for no reason really at all (except MORE POWER! muwahaha!)...

Its a money saver for you and you could get 2 for the price of one 9800 gtx.

Remember, WoW doesn't recognise graphics cards in SLI.. So you're better off buying 1 good graphics card rather than 2 lower down the range... If your only intending to use it for WoW anyway.

Thanks guys,
Went with the 9600 and loving it so far, also picked me up a 24" HP LCD, as well as more ram.

Only thing I did not like about the HP LCD was that it dont support DVI only VGA. Not that it was that big of a deal just means I have to use my little dongle and change it to DVI. But it works rather well non the less, running 1900x1200 looks great.

So far dual boxing a team of shamans to 12 right now and working on them.
