Well I got the cards but I've been busy finishing up a review for another site today and yesterday I had to go to a Birthday Party/Cookout.
Overall these cards are just a mild improvement over my old 8800GTX's, at least as far as 3DMark06 is concerned. But as soon as I get the cash in hand from the sale of those 8800GTX's I'll be ordering a 3rd 9800GTX for Tri-SLI :-)
Here are the 3DMark06 scores I've gotten so far. I need to play with all the settings to tweak them up a little Higher. And I've been trying all the different Drivers I can find. So far I've tried the 174.40's, 174.74's and the 174.85's. Has anyone heard of any others? And I've got the 9800's
oc'ed to 750/1200 atm.
19202 - WindowsXP - 174.74
ORB - Compare
18247 - Vista 32-bit HP - 174.85
ORB - Compare
I ran 3DMark06 using Vista 64-bit HP also but when I tried to submit the score Vista blocked it and I have to figure out how to unblock it :-( I'm not sure of the exact score atm but it was about the same as Vista 32-bit.
