Than the Radeon 3870 X2

In 3Dmark06 the performance of the Geforce 9800 GX2 numbers are very close to the Radeon 3870 X2, but once you start playing games and go for the higher settings and resolutions, the two G92 chips kick in and show their leadership over the ATI part.

On average the Geforce 9800 GX2 will end up at least 10, sometimes even 15 percent faster than ATI's flagship Radeon 3870 X2 card.

At the same time, the Geforce 9800 GX2 will end up significantly more expensive, but in this ultra high-end market the one that can push the most FPS is the one that counts. We believe that if you want a great high-end card and to save some money, the ATI Radeon 3870 X2 might be the better choice, but if you want the fastest card around without compromises, then the Geforce 9800 GX2 will be a safer bet.
