Here are the scores from my 9800 gx2. Not to bad. I'm gonna shoot for a new Quad soon and i'm sure my core will be better. Myabe a Q9550 or Core i5 750(bundle price of $139 at micro center). we'll see...

Ok, I finally have my dream video card! I know that the 9800 gx2 is over a year old but it still has better frame rates than the gtx 275 in most benchmarks. i had been watching these card sell for $150-$200 on ebay. I was searching one day and found this card listed on ebay through a pawn shop. They stated that car was sold "as-is" because they didn't have the means to test it. So i took a chance put a max bid of $60 and i won it for $51. I knew that it was a long shot but knew i should be able to $30-$40 on ebay for parts. To my surprise i put it in my system and it booted right up!!! So i lucked out. Below are a few pics of the set up. the card is huge and sucks up a ton of power. I had to order a new power supply because it couldn't handle this card and my overclocked quad core at the same time. I wont get to do any benchmarks until the power supply comes in but i will post asap once it arrives. shot me an email if you have any questions.
