maybe the 9800 gtx not quad sli 9800 gx2.

[ZERO]

just 2sli gx2 should do it. dam i did not know they had the gx2 out for the 9s yet.

Also if the game is not set to take advantage of it sli will not have a huge advantage, also motherboard play a VERY big role especially if your on 1.0 or 2.0 PCIE or on 1/2 or full bandwidth sli. Crysis strikes me as more of a memory intensive game thus I would place most peoples bottleneck on there ram and m/b especially if they already have the top 1% performance gpu.

The 790i mobo, is 2.0 PCIE ready.I have the evga one, its one of the few mobo that can run the 9800 gx2 in quad sli.

Is that all? I thought there was more.

well you only need to be able to get 30fps so you should be fine

I've seen the benchs for the 9800 top ends, they seem to be hit and miss compared to the 8800 ones. There basically the same exact card. Some games a couple frames faster some games a bit slower.

As for the 9800GX2, they cant even run it full blast in directx10 with fall AI, ect... Tryed and Failed. I dont know whats up with the game.

In just about most benches it falls 1 frame below the 3870X2 ATI.

This is because the 9series brings no real change to the 8 in fact they are merely an extension of the 8 and are 9s in name only.

Oh, and the 9800 gx2's were out even before the 9800 gtx, ect. Its basically the same as the 8800 GTS, even more so than the lower end 9800's. Cant wait to see the nextgen cards performance. The 9 series was a joke, hopefully it brings more than -1/1% performance lol.

Once again please know what your talking about ,before posting about 2 difference cards, the 9800 gx2 and the new 280 gtx is about the same performance is cards, only in different is when using different resolutions there is a differents in performance and that slghtly. The 8800 gtx is better then the 9800 gtx, not the 8800 gts card.

Here is the chart of the 2 cards performance which is a 4.05% difference.
