Wonder how it compares to the factory OC'ed variants of the 8800 GTS 512M from EVGA / BFG / XFX such as 'Superclocked', OC2, and XXX edition respectively. Only difference is the second gold-finger = tri-SLI. My opinion: This does not deserve to be called a GTX, or a flagship card for that matter. Actually with GeForce 9 series, it seems like NVidia wants to redefine what high-end graphics is all about. It's no more the single monster card any more, it's bunch of the same old technology, only quantitatively more, not qualitatively.....multi GPU

Top to bottom, here's how I define the GeForce 9 series and how it's meant to target the consumer:

A. High End:

• 2x GeForce 9800 GX2
• 3x GeForce 9800 GTX
• 3x GeForce 9800 GTS
• 3x GeForce 9800 GT
• 2x GeForce 9800 GTX
• 2x GeForce 9800 GTS
• 1x GeForce 9800 GX2
• 2x GeForce 9800 GT

B. Mainstream:

• 1x GeForce 9800 GTX
• 1x GeForce 9800 GTS
• 2x GeForce 9600 GT
• 1x GeForce 9800 GT
• 1x GeForce 9600 GT

Surprise! The single unit GTX / GTS make it to the mainstream solutions in my lists. Quad SLI is un-announced.
