    Is that improvement worth $365 a card?

    I think the 9800M GT with a X9100 gets in the high 9k range. Not worth the extra $$$, but i paid for it :)

    the card rele shines in that extra 512 MB of vram... (a total of 1 gb). On Call of Duty 4 it won't. But for an RTS with lots of units like supreme commander, the soon Starcraft 2, and even a powerful FPS like crysis, you WILL see a difference. Moreso on RTS games than FPS. I haven't seen a GT vs. GTX bench on Crysis yet. remember guys, 3dmark has no true bearing over real world performance, only a general standing.
