wether or not the 8800U costs $6xx and the X2 @ $4xx, the fact remains that the G80 has been out almost a year and a half, which means, that nobody will buy one now over a G92 or X2, but if theyve already got one, then whats the point in upgrading at all?
not to mention i think the 384 bit 768 megs of ram will keep the G80 chopping for a while. whereas even with dual gpu the X2 only has 2x512 and 2x256 bit, so each gpu can still only adress that much at once.
i believe benching an 8800U against an X2 in 1-2 years will show whom is meatyer, although on that note, then X2 might come ahead with its 640 combined shaders...only time will tell.
in any case people, like ive said before, both companies rock hardcore, and even if your a fanboy either way, you couldnt be if it werent for the other company exisitng, so take the good with the bad, and dont just bag the company you dont like, jsut because you dont like them, have a reason!
which is cool because with my bios its as good as on par with a G92GTS, i can even make the bios post for the card say its a GTS, but i think GPU-Z wouldnt be fooled, but still, the illusion will be complete!
