im curious about something

which would perform better

a 8800 GTS, a 8800GTX or a 9800 GX2 only running on one core?

What do you mean runing on one core???

Anyways the best out of the three is definetly the 9800GX2 but that's really two cards stuck together so you can't really compare it with the others.

thats what i meant by 2 cores, it effectively has 2 cores because its 2 cards stuck together, when running one monitor the 2 cores work together

however if say one core was disabled (as in one of the cards of the two was disabled) how would it then compare to the 8800 GTS or GTX?

strange question indeed

but then why would you buy a card that has two GPUS then disable one of them, it makes no sense, why not just buy a 9800GTX instead????

anyways lets just imagine that was the case then a 9800GX2 with one core will still out perform the 8800

ah right, i was under the impression the 8800 ran the same core processor as the 9800

i didn't know the 9800 GTX existed either,

baisically i recieved the 9800 GX2 as a gift but it has an issue with a piece of software i use at times, which involves me having to disable one of the adapters via the device manager to resolve the issue (hence cutting its performance in half right?)

which is a bit of a hassle, so i was debating going for a none dual core/single adapater card on just sticking with the 9800 on one core/adapter
