DirectCanada has an evga 8800GT for $159.99 -10.00 mail in rebate.
Qualifies for $9.99 air shipping as well.
EVGA offers a lifetime warranty and also the step up program which allows you to upgrade to a newer card by just paying the difference in retail cost through EVGA.
Check it out.

nice prices, ive bought mine (Inno3D 512 GeForce 8800 GT) 4 month ago for $240..
they're getting cheaper with every single day...
Posted by: apextwin146
they are getting cheaper due to the arrival of AMDs new cards and the new Nvidia 260 and 280 series

I would get a RADEON HD 4850 over an 8800GT. Supposedly they beat a 9800GTX. I take that back, but I've seen the benchmarks and it definitely beats the 8800GTS pretty well. I take that back again, :P actually it does beat a 9800GTX in some games but loses in others. You can find one on eBay for $130 AR (after rebate).

sweet, do ATI do stuff like SLI technology?
Posted by: silent h3ro
Yeah ATI has technology like nVidia's SLi but they call it Crossfire.
Posted by: Acid_death69
sweet:) wonder what the four series would be like if you had three of em on a mobo:D would need a massive PSU
Posted by: silent h3ro
Yeah lol I bet you would need a massive PSU. I wonder if you could connect 3 of these...
Posted by: Acid_death69
well you can connect three nvidia GPUs, so i dont see why not
Posted by: silent h3ro
I just checked wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATI_CrossFire) and it says that you can link four video cards on one mobo with Crossfire X and I know you can do that with SLi too.
Posted by: Acid_death69
FOUR! does have to be an extended ATX mobo? god thats mad the mobo must be as big as my case lol. Wonder what games you could play with that in the future. god thats bad ass!
Posted by: Detale
Would love to see a MoBo that supports that :) Oh wait here's (http://www.newegg.com/Product/ShowImage.aspx?CurImage=13-131-291-S03&ISList=13-131-291-S01%2c13-131-291-S02%2c13-131-291-S03%2c13-131-291-S04%2c13-131-291-S05&S7ImageFlag=1&Item=N82E16813131291&Depa=0&WaterMark=1&Description=ASUS+M3A32-MVP+Deluxe+ATX+AMD+Motherboard+-+Retail) one looks cool but I wonder if it's really worth it.

The drawback of ATI 4XXX series is that it consumes lot of power compared to Nc counterparts. So IMO getting a CF of ATI card(4XXX) would really need a good PSU(costly)!
Nevrtheless 4XXXX are the best in midrange segment currently

I was looking at the heatsink that i originally got with my 8800GT and it doesnt really suck air in were the fan is, it kinda pushes it around:s Apart from me and clocker has one else sought to replace their heatsink on them?
