  • i have 2 of these in quad sli and they are amazing. only things that suck are 1. Power use 2. heat and 3. cost for water cooling blocks. but i cant wait to get it water cooled and overclocked

  • just buy a gtx 580

  • @thereddog223 This was THE CARD in 2008...

  • regardless of directx in a game would the 5770 do better than this frame rate wise

  • in Fear 2 origins,Radeon 4870 1Gig>GTX285,4870x2>GTX295

    i see benchmark (awesome)

    GTX295 get 100+FPS,4870x2 Get 150FPS+ :D

  • can y play new games with that

  • Comment removed

  • @rade374 no It is a terrible card. Udderly useless. Barely plays starcraft

  • how much is this one?

    i really wanna buy it

  • holy mother of earth.thats a large card

  • 11inch long :S HOLY nearly length of 5870

  • how much is taht thing ???

  • This card is aprox 30cm long loll

  • holly shit good that i got xaser 6

  • @SerzantasLTU Loll yeah its a very huge card.. im having Cooler Master Stacker 830 nvidia edition and fit good so you should be ok loll

  • on exaser 6 u can even take out hdd cage so i could put even 50% longer than this :D

  • @SerzantasLTU Loll pretty nice

  • wots better 2 of these or one gtx 295

  • check my rig MY GAMING RIG XFX 9800 GTX+ PART 2

  • this card is rubbish for money value, it uses too much power, gets really hot. hell i bet gtx 260 core 216 beats this piece of shit

  • Can I suck on it, I mean your card!

  • I doubt it the HD 5000 series is due out soon I don't think they'll make a new high-end card when the next generation is only a few months away.

  • is there wiil be a hd4890x2???

  • how long is this card omg? :-O :D it's huuge..

  • The 9800GX2 is still one of the top performance cards out there and its technology is almost 2 years old. Only the GTX295 and HD4870x2 can top this card... and MAYBE the GTX285 and HD4850 can be equal to a 9800GX2's performance. This thing edges out even a GTX280 in most benchmarks. For a old card, it's still a beast.

  • 4850? you mean 4890 right?

  • ahh...but neither the 4850 and 4890.. lol i meant the dual gpu HD4850X2. sorry about that typo. the 9800GX2 beats the HD4890 though not by much. The HD4890 is compared to the slightly faster GTX275.

  • it's 2 fucking cards in one are you forgetting this and from what I understand a overclocked GTX 260 core 216 comes pretty close in performance to this card and it's a single GPU!

  • Comment removed

  • Nice. This is what I got. :D

  • this guy is a funny cunt... wats his name?

  • logan

  • This card is still really great.

  • Nvidia is so cool

    i have 3 9800GTX+ Black Edition OC from XFX in tri sli in my rig. d 3 of them do beat 2 of these cards but ofcourse i still highly recomend this card.

  • i diarrheaed in mah pants

  • Got the BFG GeForce 9800 GX2 1GB PCI-E 2.0 SLI Video Card in my computer,the best gaming and HD movie expierance out there.

    This card is sooo fuckin awesome.Cost bundle,but worthit.

  • sweet

  • i think this one kills my 260 gtx lol so sad want my gold back lolol

  • OMFG THE 9800 GX2!!!!! AND IT'S BFG!!! The only reason why I'm talking like this cuz it's Logan reveiwing it : )

  • i lose att fighting Dust :P

  • on what runs Cod 5..?

  • lmao 15'' of pain

  • 13 * xD

  • BFG i wonder why they called it that...

    *cough* Big *cough* Fucking *cough* GUN!

  • big fucking gamer lol or big fucking graphics lol or boobs feel good

  • @MateenK .. Old one, doesnt even match the situation..

    Its used for Doom you noob..

    BFG 9000..

  • @MateenK big fucking graphics

  • is this graphic card good? O_o i want buy some good 1GB graphic card on games

  • yesyesyes

  • those cards are poopy.

  • Lmao my 8800GT superclocked is @ 50fps medium.

  • which res???????????????????????

  • 1680x1050

  • i have that

  • The 8500 is a good card but it cannot run GTA 4 on high not even the high end cards can run GTA 4 on high and get over 40 fps, The 8500 is ment for games like World of warcraft and some FPS

  • Any card is a joke to gta 4, talk about bad game optimization...

  • amen brother

  • Two words: Old Technology.

  • what?

  • @ 007RKO007

    games with in a few years will start needing this kind of card to play so might as well be prepared for the future and then you wont need to always buy new ones when yours becomes useless.

  • there is some games that require this type of card, like for example GTA 4 or Far Cry 2

  • They don't require it. It may be recommended

  • to experience a great gameplay, isnt it??

  • they dont require it, i got far cry 2 runing on high quality with a 9400gt

  • GTA 4 doesn't, it requires a really heavy duty CPU, not GPU.

  • if you have a quad core does GTA 4 take advantage of all 4 cores? or only 2?

  • all 4. I have a quad core and it uses 87% of all cores! I have a Intel Core 2 Quad 2.4GHz q6600 with 4gb of RAM and very soon a 9800gtx+ OC 1GB(right now I have a 8600gt) and gta iv runs ar about 25-32 FPS on medium with 800X600..

  • quad core only was 2 cores and 2 virtuals

  • I'm still able to play GTA4 on 1400x900 with Med. Texture, Highest Texture rendering, 57 view distance, and 100 everything else on a Core 2 Duo e6600 OC @ 3.2 GHz with an 9800 GTX+ @ 800 Core/1260 Memory

  • what is better BFG or EVGA or XFX like which order is best? like the only graphics card i know about is evga and xfx kinda new to bfg

  • Is a 9800 GX2 in Quad SLI recommended????

  • 5 frames difference from gx2 sli to quad in crysis, i say waste of money?

  • exactly where did you get your disinformation?

  • For the SAME PRICE what should i get?

    Evga 8800GTS KO 512 2x Or

    XFX 9800GX2 ? What Option will give me faster Frames in all games????

  • xfx 9800x2 it has a much faster gb memory output then the 256 interface of the 8800 2 gpu's means 256 per core ;) also 55 nm is alot easier to overclock then 65 nm

  • HEy well Thnx again!

  • Nile505 and WTFwood both showed they know fuck all in their very short statements...

    for the money this card is actually very good... i can get 2 of these for the price of one 4870 HD x2...

    imo only the 280 or the Triple or the ATI 4870 HDx2 are faster... but thats only if you have the money...

  • hey i bought a KFA2 Geforce 9600GT and im wondering which card that i could go SLI with it. send me a link in a message or something. thanks

  • Any other 9600GT with the G94 GPU. nVidia allowed cross-vendor SLI sometime ago.

  • hehe I wont need a 8 pin adapter since my psu came with 8 pin on it when I bought my cyberpower PC :)

  • wait so like if u Sli my 8800 gt = 1 gx2?

  • crysis brings this card to the floor...

  • i love it how he didnt say the crysis very high benchmark. this thing fails in crysis.

  • Everything fails in crysis. Did you forget that lol?

    Now throw two of them together with a bit of overclocking and 60 fps on very high on DX10 is easily done. I think a guy somewhere has 80 fps on it.

  • lol and crysis is a bad game. not worth it.

  • HELL this card produces microstuttering.. thats quiet annoying!

  • DUDE! This thing is bigger then the god damn laptop!

  • it's not built for the laptop

    lol.....

  • The msg from shadowblazes and yours realli is a joke. This graphic card is for desktop onli.

  • can i fit this on a alienware m17x laptop

  • HAHAHAHAH wtf HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH omg HAHAHHHAHAHAHAHAAH wtf lmao rofl

  • wow!

  • no dude

    u can't n don't be an idiot xD

  • God I hope your joking.

  • its so sick and disturbingly fast im flaging this video

  • hahahahaahahahhahahaahhahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahhahahahahahhahahaha­hahahahaha wtf???????

    tht made my day

    NICE!!

  • yes please.

  • 580 watts!!!??? <:O Holy shit dude!!! <:O

  • The real watt consumtion of this card is 200~300Watt. Recommend 500+ is all your computer's component like HDD , CPU , Driver , all sort.

  • is the XFX GeForce 9800 GX2 Video Card better than this one?

  • yes because xfx looks awesome

  • oh yeah!

  • NO IT IS NOT!!!

    Because, BFG offers 100 day step up program and XFX does not, also, BFG offers the HIGHEST overclocked 9800 GX2 available known as the OCX version, which factory core clock is set at 680mhz, and memory clock is set at 2100.

  • lol

  • Added: April 01, 2008

    :P

  • goodness gracious... im not allowed to curse ROFL!

  • My new computer that arrives this week includes two of these monsters in SLI..

    I think I'm in love..

  • Wish I could afford one of these.

  • In my opinion i say EVGA makes better video cards

  • Check the tech specs for each one of these cards people and compare them! and also which mobo works best with what card!

  • Nvidia

  • PLEASE ANSWER MY Q:

    bfg or evga or xfx or pny or this or that?

    i liked the bfg but in my country, ther's only the xfx

    I REALLY NEED UR ANSWER

  • In my opinion EGVA is the best for Nvidia cards.

  • NOPE XFX IS THE BEST

  • Nope : p EVGA is way more reliable.

  • Nope : p XFX is way more reliable.

  • Sorry dude, check your facts. XFX uses slow generic memory and evga is more stable.

  • oo if i get th same 9600 gt, evga is better?

  • Yeah. For the 9600, stick with evga but for the 8800 gt for example, I`d go for an xfx. I used to criticize xfx alot but I guess gamers trust it. Both vendors are good. PNY and BFG are nice too.

    Peace

  • dam lol just ordered two xfx 9600...

  • Its OK, its not horrible or anything. You did a great purchase and you`ll be able to outperform a 9800gtx. The memory I talked about is slower, but won`t kill you or anything.

  • assholes i dont care if its evga or xfx i just want one

  • what about BFG?

  • How does this card runs on a 750I P5ND mobo?

  • wtf what should i get xfx bfg kfa2 evga palit?

    WHICH MANUFACTURER IS THE BEST?

  • doesn't matter get one mabe with a better warrenty or something with a game in it you don't have. Get a cheaper one or spend some more money on a factory overclocked one. Like i said, doesn't matter.

  • the bfg one comes with cables and shit, they all run the same pretty muh, tiny differences

  • think about what would happen when 9900 series will come out this card's price will go down town.

  • ya too many different brands man, but all i know is that XFX XXX edition's usually have the highest clocks, but they can be more expensive, maybe 50-100 dollars more then regular price

  • BFG = Build For Gamers

  • is it right that they only look different and that some of them are overclocked? or are there any other differences?

  • i'll get this card. but which one should i take? bfg,evga,xfx,asus,...?

  • BFG is nice, nice product and RMA my 7900 GT and got a 8800 GTS back also lifetime warranty own

  • So I see all these 9800 GX2 reviews from tigerdirect...whats the difference? XFX, BFG, etc etc??

  • pretti much nothen its just different brands

  • ahh, thought so. Thanks!

  • np :)

  • 2 PCBs Glued together. It is basically 2 8800gts 512s in one card. HERE's the STATS

    BFG 9800GX2

    GPU: G92

    Core Clock: 600mhz

    Shader Clock: 1800mhz

    Memory Clock:2000mhz

    Memory Size: 1gb

  • Its not quite 1gb of memory though, it's two 512s, which fair enough adds to 1024 but dont work like that. Tbh, I wouldnt bother with this card, it hits it's EOL (end of life) in june, and is being replaced by the 9900GX2

  • haha dust is every where here in Az man glad I picked the right case and liquid cooling for my new pc :)

  • Wow basically two 8800gts 512mb stuck together. The 9000 series has been seriously over-hyped. 9800gtx is just an OCed 8800 gts and 9600gt a stripped down 8800gt and then called the G90. They could have atleast made a new chip instead of sitting on the G92.

  • nvidia is just milking it for all the money they can get

    The only card that shows promise is the 9900gx2

  • But even then, that could just be all hype. Wouldn't it be good if instead of creating multiple PCB cards that they would make a really good single chip rather than sticking two together.

  • I just finished building my hardcore gaming rig.

    Which OS should i use XP or Vista??????????????

  • HEY, TIGER-DIRECT, "LOGAN", WHOEVER... YOU ARE FUC.KIN CORRUPTED BY NVIDIA!!

    ONLY -ONE- VIDEO OF AMD/ATI´S LATEST PRODUCT, THE 3870 X2, VERSUS 3 EVEN 4 REVIEWS OF THE GODDAMN 9800 GX2 !!! SO PRAISED BLAH BLAH BLAH

    IM GETTING PISSED OF NVIDIAS MARKETING TRICKS

    ITS NOT ENOUGH WITH WEBSITES REVIEWS LIKE TOMSHARDWARE RIGHT?

    THEY WILL DO ANYTHING TO MAKE GAMERS BELIEVE THEY ARE BETTER BRAND!! (like the stickers of nvidia in games....)

    DO ANOTHER ONE OF 3870 X2 MR LOGAN! BE.FAIR

  • what are you trying to say?

  • what are you trying to say?

  • what are you trying to say?

  • calm down kid, stop threatining logan man. heres some info for you, a single one cored 9800 gtx beats a 3870x2, which has 2 cores, ati just got owned by the nvidia 9800 cards

  • hey

    im not talking about which card is "better", KID

    im talking about FAIR PLAY, PROFESSIONAL fair play, when advertising HIGH END CARDS, brand new models i think Customers and Companies, like AMD/ATI

    deserve at least equal advertising and "hype"

    here, from this channel, being quite notorious

    on brand-new, high-end products

  • but hey, nevermind. i guess it will be better for customers to spend ridiculous amounts of money on nvidia over-hyped and over-advertised products

    and by the way, i like Logan, very funny, im not criticising him.

  • just saying, it looked like you were threatining him.......jk

  • TigerDirect is a company, Sometimes companies need to push some products more than others

    Why should there be equal advertising?

    TigerDirect don't owe the viewers anything,

    and who cares about nvidia or ati?

    fanboys, I only care whats fastest and if someone would impair their own performance out of some asinine loyalty to a company then they're beyond stupid

  • lol 13in on ur 3870 x2... dude its 10 1/2 in on my 3870 x2... nt logan nt

  • can you test this on flight sim x and put a video on youtube of it

  • Why medium???!!!

  • these Cards RAPE

  • 13 iches of pain sick

  • they keep changing the FPS

  • will crysis work on 60+ fps on 1024x768 if ill get:

    dual core e6600

    geforce 9800gtx

    3gb ram?

  • i think you must put it on medium for 60+

  • Why would you play Crysis on 1024X768?? and Yes it will. this card can blow crysis's head off on 1680X1050 with everything on High (50+ fps)

  • Be serious!

  • Whhhhoooooooaaaaaaaa, in his 9800 GTX video, he says that the 9800 GX2 got like 197 fps. But here it gets 227... Strangeeee

  • I've mailed Logan 3 times but he never answers my questions, I don't know why.

  • bloody fucking good

  • rofl ut3 i mean hl2 sorry rofl

  • i dont like this review!!!

    sry

    well its still a good idea to get 2 9600GT's???

    some1 help me make a blueprint of my PC!!!!

    hit me up

    Yahoo: gatman003

  • why ati still making video card?they know that nvidia is better and ever will be.

  • Because without "competition" Nvidia wouldn't make any more cards.

    They have to have at least one company to compete against.

    Nvidia is winning. :D

  • when the 10 series are coming out?:)

  • is there even coming a 10'er ?
