    Dual 9800 GT or Dual ATI Radeon HD 4670

    Can't choose, and the pricing options are exactly the same. Any advice would be appreciated :D

    I have been there already. I'm just making sure that they won't act differently together than they do alone. Thanks though :)

    A single Geforce 9800M GT would still be more powerful than a single ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4670, so I don't see how Dual Geforce 9800M GT's wouldn't be a better selection to any sane person out there.

    Are you talking about notebooks or desktops? If it's desktops, then you need to go to NBR's sister site, DTR, to discuss.

    9800 gt vs 4670? Do you mean 4870?

    Anyways, CF 4870 wins. But I'd take a single 280M over either :D The Asus 4870 is gimped, it's basically 4850's with 50 mhz on the core. Driver support isn't there, and not all games work well with CF.

    I would go with the 4670, only because I need battery life more than performance
