Default More Early Benchmarks from Geforce 9800 GX2

Come launch day, I’m not too sure if this is going to be a card worth picking up. While we see gains under XP, not everything sees the same success like UT3 and HL2:E2. There has to be a new driver coming out soon. Websites have posted a newer driver than the one we received on the driver CD, but it doesn’t actually work. It refuses to install even though the driver is stated to be for the GX2.

The card has potential, and we can see it’s got the power in some applications. It just needs to be harnessed better. If you had been reading the reviews online and thought “Bugger this, I’m off to get a HD 3870 X2”, we would hold off, at least for a week or two.

These benchmarks differ a good deal from the previous ones... HL2 Episode Two shows a complete reversal with the 3870 X2 winning easily.

I wonder why the difference... These results really makes NVIDIA look just plain stupid though... 3870 X2 holds its own, and is $150+ cheaper! What the heck is NVIDIA thinking...
