At the CeBIT they are allowed to show the photo's .. yet not discuss the product. A well .. here you go. The best way to think of the GeForce 9800 GX2 is a 8800 that's been shrunk down to 65nm and SLI'd onto a "single" card. The card is supposed to be at least 30% faster than a 8800 Ultra, and will apparently support Quad SLI. The details over at MSI show the product with 1GB of GDDR3 memory, The GeForce 9800 GX2 should get a GPU core clock of 600 MHz, the Shaders domain at 1500 MHz and memory at a beefy 2000 MHz.

Albatron and Evga are two companies that are showcasing reference cards at their booths but, a small surprise comes from the latter in the form of a Black Pearl 9800 GX2 which swaps the air cooler with a big and relatively shiny waterblock.
As seen below the card is 'standard' through shape and size but the space between the two 65nm G92 chips is filled by Innovatek's latest creation, the 197-euro aluminum waterblock. By the looks of it the card will be ready really soon and although we don't expect to see it introduced on March 18 (the rumored 9800 GX2 release) the end of the month is hopefully a good estimate.
