Re: 4850 xfire, 9800GTX OC SLI or 9800 GX2 (600mhz)?

i wanted to upgrade to the G92 chip before the 4850s came out.. also the GTXes run a tad cooler than the 640mb versions.

are you willingto part with the 680i if you do change to a x-fire board ?
if so, would you mind selling me the board ?

I'd have just kept the SLI setup for a few more months.
If you can afford to wait until the 4870x2 comes out in August it will drop the price of the GTX280 below $400. Or just get a GTX260 now and overclock.

in a few months, the 640s won't be worth much considering the 4850s are such great performers - i paid $550 for one of the 8800GTS and $300 for the other one, so i wanted to get some money back for my next upgrade while they're still worth something.. Nvidia's pricing was (and still is) out of line without any competition. I'm glad AMD/ATI stepped up to the plate this time.
