I find it extremely odd that Nvidia released the GX2 dual core 9800 before the single core 9800GTX,GT,GTS (or whatever they are calling it). Kind of makes me think that one 9800 core isn't that much faster than the older 8800GTX or even the newer 8800GTS (g92). $600 is only slightly more than 2-8800GTS (g92)'s so that would reinforce the theory that there isn't a whole lot of improvement in performance.

Now I'm not positive, but I don't think the GX2 is technically the 9800 cores, last I heard its actualy two G92 cores if I'm not mistaken.

I guess it's two 8800gts cores down clocked to 600Mhz. that explains why it benchmarks like an 8800gts sli.
