Subject: Nvidia Geforce 9800GTX vs Nvidia Geforce 9800GX2

Question
I want to know that performance wise which combination is better? i.e.
3-Way SLI, three cards(Nvidia Geforce 9800GTX)
OR
A pair of (Nvidia Geforce 9800GX2) Quad SLI?

Answer
Try this:

Theres also a great article on The Tech Report, but I can't seem to find the URL at this moment (I'll post a follow-up once the website becomes available again).

Honestly either solution offers seamless performance, at roughly the same kilo-buck price, personally I'd go for the 9800GX2 SLI solution, because it will give you a free expansion slot (of some sort) while tri-SLI gurantees to take all of your expansion slots up.
