For $540 (actual non-rebate price) one can get two EVGA OC G92 8800GTS
512Mb cards and SLI them. And I suspect they'd perform on par with that $600
9800GX2. I've seen the comparisons of twin vanilla 8800GT's in SLI against
the GX2. I've yet to see an OC G92 8800GTS SLI comparison.

The 9800GX2 is for all intents and purposes 2x 8800GTS cards in SLI, with
the core slightly underclocked, and it performs accordingly:

I posted the Newegg link as a joke. Though bear in mind the $599 price seems
to be squarely MSRP. Over the next few days it will probably fall to more
reasonable levels.

The really crazy part is, back in April 2006 I paid the same price for an
X1900XT... a few months later I ordered a 2nd one.

$540? NewEgg has two (After rebate but work with me) GTS's at the $210
price point, so that would be $440...I think you meant to type $440 :)

I'd spring for the MSI one, get Witcher, and hold off installing it
until May when the US-English version patch/update is slated to be released.

Well, $420 actually, but yes you can get 8800GTS units for peanuts if you're
willing to wait for the money back. I always view mail-in-rebates like
scratch and win tickets that you keep in your coat pocket for 3-4 months.
Plus I wanted the cheapest right-now priced factory OC GTS. Even if the
9800X2 comes down by $100-$125 it's a crapola deal. And I suspect that those
bottom end 8800GTS's in SLI would match or beat it.

I just bought that card Monday at Newegg and it was 5 dollars
more. Oh well. Installed it an hour ago using the 169.21 drivers.
Too bad my board doesn't do SLI.
