It didn't take long for the ASUS GeForce 9800 GX2 to impress. We found it to be 57% faster than the Radeon HD 3870 X2 at 1920x1200 in Crysis. Furthermore, the GeForce 9800 GX2 was 26% faster than the GeForce 8800 GT SLI configuration, which was also very impressive
Rendering 47.7fps at 1920x1200 while using high quality settings in Crysis is something we had not seen before using a single graphics card.
