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

"1) Try to get a decent intel xfire board on the cheap and get a pair of 4850s, but it may gimp my C2D overclock."

See no point in spending money changing platform since you are already set up for sli.

"2) 2x 9800 GTX OC in SLI
3) 1x 9800 GX2, and maybe go quad in the future."

If you get something like the evga gx2, which can be had for $350-400. The price spread among these cards is large right now and buying the more expensive cards doesn't make sense. This would be more sensible, at these prices, than dual gtx cards.

"4) 2x 8800GTS (G92) in SLI (and save some money)"
I don't see the point in going from what you had to this and money clearly isn't an issue for you.

"5) Wait for the 9800GTX+, or a huge price drop on the GTX series."

The gtx+ cards aren't really worth the premium and it isn't going to give results that vary much from your gx2 gtx sli question above.

hmm, so the GX2 is looking pretty good.. i'm looking at a GX2 but the default clock is a little slow @ 600mhz.

any recommendations on GX2 cards?

quick question about physX.. does nvidia plan to code drivers to implement physX processing on their GPUs? Or is it going to be a separate processing unit, like something extra on future nvidia cards?
