Small quantities of nVidia's latest GeForce 9800GX2 have been streaming in over the past few days.
Let's check out the offerings from various companies. Well, nVidia doesn't allow third-party designs, so we are looking at the same thing, less the different stickers used by the different brands.
Gigabyte
Covered by the label, there are actually two power connectors below it. Both connectors, one 6-pin and one 8-pin PCI-E, need to be plugged in order for this card to operate.
XFX
Coming in a stunning black box, it catches attention pretty easily.
XFX boxes are sealed, so we are unable to get a shot of the card itself.
Leadtek
The cheapest of the lot, you could get one of this for only SGD$1039. This is cheaper than Gigabyte ($1059) or XFX ($1079).
