As did I. If you want the new 5hit you gonna pay

[MEDBEDb]

nice prices, ive bought mine (Inno3D 512 GeForce 8800 GT) 4 month ago for $240..
they're getting cheaper with every single day...

[apextwin146]

they are getting cheaper due to the arrival of AMDs new cards and the new Nvidia 260 and 280 series

:O that is damn cheap! wish i got mine when it was that price.

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).

[Acid_death69]

sweet, do ATI do stuff like SLI technology?

[silent h3ro]

Yeah ATI has technology like nVidia's SLi but they call it Crossfire.

[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

[silent h3ro]

Yeah lol I bet you would need a massive PSU. I wonder if you could connect 3 of these...

[Acid_death69]

well you can connect three nvidia GPUs, so i dont see why not

[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.

[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!

[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.

[abhay]

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

OMG man ... the price is shocking cheap ))

[Acid_death69]

they're starting to stop selling them now:s which is gonna be a pain in the ass if you want to SLI

[socalled]

I had to ebay to find my second one, after only 5 months:( bad choice I guess

[saulin]

i saw AR $120

http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=206609495


Buy.com just pisses me off. They will not ship outside of US. Canadian customer's always get screwed with hardware prices.

Is this card even worth buying now though? maybe for SLI. I have a 8800GTX which BTW cost me $750 a while ago and I'm considering going sli instead of upgrading to the latest and greatest.

[Acid_death69]

GTX is alot better than a GT you can higher resultions and it'll cope with them better. But two 8800GT are good in SLI i think it'll be a more popular thing for them as they are going more and more cheaper:)

[Catcher]

8800GT is old fashion, you better try the HD4850.
Better performance-same price.

[kondrae]

i saw a EVGA8800GT 512 for $97 AR at Fry's

[namtuoc8x]

I think ATI is best choice at this moment
4850 can beat 9800GTX

[kondrae]

ya, but its twice as much as the GT

[bd75sy]

second hand practically nothing unless you sell via ebay...
