The 9800GTX supports tri-SLI and has slightly higher clocks.
Tri-SLI almost seems like overkill...it would be nice to be able to afford overkill though

I can't remember the source, but it was on these forums: 'It's not overkill until something dies from it.'

He does make a good point ...
wouldn't it have to be killed in an especially horrible way to be overkill? Because without some extraordinary killing, it's just kill.

More power!
You love my sig.
i just ordered a 8800gts for 239-50 MIR from newegg, the biggest point towards the gts is I believe it uses less power due to the single pci-e connector
1. from CustomPC, June 2008:
Looks like you sat on the right donkey by ordering the GTSWe're not sure how the new 9800GTX card merits its GeForce 9-series status - it looks as if it should be a GeForce 9800GTS at best. With performance so close to that of the 512MB 8800GTS, it would only be worth buying if it were cheaper. Even the cheapest 9800GTX card costs around £50 more than the averagely priced 512MB 8800GTS, which is a scandal on Nvidia's part. It looks suspiciously as if the company is marketing a slightly updated 512MBGTS GPU as a next generation 9-series GPU in order to fool you into upgrading. If you have a powerful GeForce 8800-series card, stick with it for now; a 9800GTX isn't worth buying.
2. Triple SLI doesn't really work too well for gaming. It can reduce frame rates.
