how long will it take for a 9800 gx2 to be outdated?

honestly i think it will take awhile...there hasnt been a big jump in graphics performance in years...people running 7900GT's are doing just fine in most games....and nothing has pushed me to upgrade my 8800GTS yet.....so that 9800 Gx2 will stick around for awhile im sure

ah hmm so would you say that if i got another 8800gts in sli would it equal the 9800gx2? cause i hear that a 9800 is just 2 8800gts in 1 card.

lol theres 18 pages in that review.... can you sum it up?

alot of mother boards now are offering 3 pci slots to tri sli, and would it realy be all that more effective to get 2 600$ cards or 3 300 or 200$ cards? cause i'm sure there is no 6x sli for a while

so it's basicly 2 8800gts's alright.. i'll wait for the price to drop then. thanks!

Or you could "wait" until holodeck technology is upon us...

Don't wait, upgrade now and every 9 months.

or

Display driver has stopped running and has recovered
Display driver R300 has stopped responding and has successfully recovered

 

And both video cards makers claim its a vista error, Microsoft acknowledges this error and after over a year they cannot/do not have a fix for it. Yet my 2 guildies cannot play any video game or program which uses a decent amount of GPU power. Go ahead and find a 100% fix and its non existent. Both were both from 3rd party (Dell and powerpc). One of them is a total pc-head who knows more than most people i met...yet still has not found a fix for it

Vista is cursed...and guarantee you it will be replaced or had have a MAJOR overhaul before xp stops getting support in 2014. If it wasn't for DX10 Vista would have been dead and buried already.

I've used Vista 32 and i'm using Vista 64 now, all those problems your mates are having that you listed are driver related problems. You just need the latest nForce/Forceware/ATi Catalyst drivers and that should stop the problems. There are even Hotfixes out there from Microsoft.

I'm having no probalems at all with Vista, i have at present these old titles installed on my Vista 64 machine.....

StarCraft (1998)

Outcast (1999)

Rune (2000)

Deus EX (2000)

WarCraft III (2002)

Jedi Knight II : Jedi Outcast (2002)

I haven't had a single probalem with any of them and haven't needed to tweak anything. Juat install theb games and patch them up to date, no problems.

As for more recent titles i have installed at the moment....

COD4

Sin of a Solar Empire

C&C 3 Tiberium Wars and Kanes Wrath

The Orange Box (Half-Life, Half-Life 2 ect ect)

Savage 2

Fable The Lost Chapters

Warhammer Mark of Chaos

The Witcher

WoW

Lotro

The only game on this list that doesn't work properly is The Witcher but if go on thier tech forum you will see people with XP having the same problems. Theb only other game that i can't get to work properly is UTIII but again it doesn't work everyone on XP either.

Vista isn't the probelm it's lazy and slack development of games.

Oh and if vista is not shitty, then why is it already scheduled for death by 2010/2011, and microsoft already working on Windows Vienna (aka Windows 7). This would give Vista a shorter lifespan than even Windows ME.
