Check out what we think of Nvidia's latest and greatest!

Good performance for a single card, but way 2 expensive atm. Great review as always Kempez.

The demonstrably cheaper link does work for me on the last page.

Super effort as always Kemp. Although I would have liked to have seen an 3870 X2 included as a comparison instead of the 3850.

 

[FarFarAway]

Thanks mate, fixed

PV - so would I, check the test page for why it wasn't

Good review, it did keep up with the Tri-SLI in some cases.. But it is very expensive.

Ah yes my bad. I did look at all the pic pages and then skipped to the benchmarks. Tis a pity the X2 didn't behave

Unfortunately, playing with High settings just wasn't playable at all, with a lot of very visible lag.

Should be "very high" as far as i can see

Card is looking good. Hopefully nvidia can get some better drivers out soon!

 

[Mr. Smith]

Decent review. The gx2 handles most things well, not sure if i am sold though... They can be had for £350.

Oh, page 7 looks like you missed out 'Very' in the second sentance

The 9800 GX2 played Crysis very well with High settings at 1920 x 1200, with acceptable framerate. Unfortunately, playing with [insert Very here] High settings just wasn't playable at all, with a lot of very visible lag.

Beaten by Hatman lol

 

[FarFarAway]

Edited, twas indeed Very high settings

Nice review, will there be one of quad sli in the near future?

 

[FarFarAway]

Nice review, will there be one of quad sli in the near future?

Very possibly

 

[Hatman]

mmmmm skulltrail + quad sli

Not really something anyone should seriously consider buying, but all to their own. Can see some records being broken with that.

 

[Mr. Smith]

I've seen quad sli results, the synthetics don't benefit much but gaming scales well.

Crysis playable maxed out!

 

[Phoenix]

Great review as always. Now just let the prices settle, and wait for some updated drivers.

 

[firefly]

Pity it blows heat into the case.

A vapour chamber cooler would be very nice - much more efficient - don't know why these haven't been taken up en masse - saphire used one on a 3870.

 

[FarFarAway]

yes mate. I agree. I think they could have designed it a little better.

 

[Toxcity]

Looks fantastic, sounds pretty good and runs pretty well. Is this the car on Tox's next buy list?

Nice review Kemp!

 

[Kerotan]

Is this the car on Tox's next buy list?

Looks more like a Graphics Card to me mate

Anyway decent review, shame it's not really new tech... but still impressive for all that.

Looks more like a Graphics Card to me mate
