The first official announcements of Nvidia's 9800GX2 card are out. The first partners to announce it are Sparkle, Inno3D and Albatron.

Nothing special to report here, since these are the cards which we were able to see during CeBIT, some on display and some of them were privately showcased. All three partners have announced reference cooled and reference clocked cards, so all three are working at 600MHz for the core, 1000MHz for 1GB of GDDR3 (512MB for each GPU) and 1500MHz for Shaders.

The only OCed cards that we know about are EVGA's water-cooled 9800GX2, the one with Innovatek water-block, and we know that MSI might do a card that will work at 650MHz for the core. These factory overclocked cards will probably come a bit later, and for now we have to look at the same reference clocked cards, at least the stickers are different.
