GeForce 9800? GTX or GX2?

[☠RockAngeL☠]

Hello Everyone ,

Am going to Buy a GeForce 9800 , and i found out that there is 2 Types of that card :
1. GF 9800 GTX
2. GF 9800 GX2

What is the Different ?
and Who's Better ?

 

[Intelext]

GTX - 1 core
GX2 - 2 cores

GX2 will work for around 30% faster then GTX.

GTX - 1 core
GX2 - 2 cores

GX2 will work for around 30% faster then GTX.

I'd say about 50%

It's not cores. It's GPU.

It's not cores. It's GPU.

And what does GPUs have inside of them?

Graphical processors.

GTX - 1 processor with one core inside of the processor.
GX2 - 1 processor(i think) with two cores inside of the processor.
Maybe it has 2 processors both with one core, I don't know exactly.


Anyway, to the topic author. I have GX2 and I can run Crysis maxed out with 50-80 FPS with no lags at all.

Shame for me that I am not a gamer, but if you are ,then this card is excellent for you. It's stronger than 260 and maybe even then 280 because of 2 cores/processors inside of it.

lol GX2 = 2 processors in the same card.. -.-

It has dual GPUs, but still has 2 cores.

And 1 fast GPU is better then 2 because of the games coding. Almost no game gets a + >70% boost with more then 1 cores.

Not for long, hydra lucid

We don't know that yet now do we? But I still think multiple cores are one step in the wrong direction. Better performance, less power consumption is win.

Maybe not +70%, but definitively games run better.

the GX2 is a lot better. no matter what you will always get a boost with 2 vs 1 even if its just a 5% boost or smthn. the GX2 is pretty much SLI with 1 card and comparable to GTX260 or maybe a 280.

I think some people do not understand what it is. A 512mb 9800Gx2 is the equivalent of 2x 256mb 9800GTX's in SLI. It is virtually 2 graphics cards except that they share the RAM. Hence, 2 GPU's.

Thanks alot guys i think i will take GX2 , i already have Intel Core 2 Due.
