Nvidia XFX 9800gt vs ASUS 9800gx2 ?
can anyone give me an example on the preformance increase i would get through this upgrade from a single 9800gt to a 9800gx2?
i know that a gx2 is essentially 2 9800gt's but im sure its not DOUBLE the preformance...
anyone who has or had this card please help!
(also what is the cooling like on them?)
Update:( i can get one for like £60)

Dont pay more than £100 for the GX2... as you could just buy a GTX460 instead...
Performance wise YES it is double performance! lol... maybe 3-4 fps off double performance but lets say your playing a game and get 30fps with the 9800gt, if you upgrade to gx2 you will get 55-60fps...unless your cpu sucks.
Honestly, If i were you, i'd upgrade to the next series. The 480, 470, or the 460gtx would likely out perform both anyhow, and it isn't all that expensive. I believe i saw it on newegg for 150$?
Keep in mind that your rig will only be as efficient as your weakest link, therefore it would be in your best interest to upgrade.
