The 9800GTX is a fast card. Of that there is no doubt. Compared to a 9600GT single card or a HD3870 single card the 9800GTX has performance that is near double those cards. The problem becomes when looking at the price of a 9800GTX, you can buy 2 9600GTs. 2 9600GTs from XFX in SLI outperform a single 9800GTX in every benchmark, making the choice quite clear in my mind. For now, a faster 8800GTX with 512MB just doesn't seem like much of an upgrade for the high end enthusiast wanting the fastest performance bar none.
