Is there an nVidia equivalent of a 9800Pro?

And can I do dual monitor setup with nVidia as easy as with ATI?

A 6600 GT is the closest you'll get unless you want a 5950 ultra or whatever it's called.

5900 ultra or something? who knows...

but in terms of multimonitoring, nvidia's 5/6 series has generally got better support than the 9x00 radeons

6600/gt

5950U/5950/5950XT but you know the fx series suck right?

6600 is close to a 9800Pro.

Dual monitor is still as easy to set up, imo.

If you need pci-x, NCIX has a good ASUS one for $187... http://ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=14314&vpn=EN6600/TD/128&manufacture=ASUS

As stated, it comes close to a R9800 pro. The 9800pro is faster, but the 6600 has some newer features (not that there are any games that use it yet)

Dual monitor setup is simple and TV out via s-video is quite good (better than ATI's IMHO)
