Think I'll sit this one out, not nearly worth my $650.00. Try again Nvidia.

My 8800GT e-penis is just fine for now. :p

So how many of you loose asses are gonna blow your wad on this?
 
me.

Double the performance of the last card I paid $650 for. . . the 8800GTX. So. . . why not?
 
It looks like a very strong card, especially at high res with high AA etc.
I'm looking to buy a 4870x2 if low enough power though (and if it doesnt suck), due to NVidias new "price fixing" :)
 
I can understand the cost issue and maybe you don't game at settings where a GTX 280/260 can flex its muscle, but the card is a pretty big leap overall.
 
You feel better now? I just like to see how many people are gonna shit out the cash for this over priced crap. You don't have to respond. Its not worth close to $650.00 for a few higher FPS at some insane res and unfortunately, I don't have money falling out my ass right now, and even if I did, I'd just toss in another 8800GT and be keeping up just fine.
 
ahh good that comment wouldnt have fit in the other gtx280 threads either. oh wait ya it would have
 
Bought it. Replacing a single 8800gtx. Didn't come anywhere near blowing my wad...The rest of stuff in my NewEgg cart is what blew it...



 
If so many of these types of threads didn't include some type of direct or indirect attack on those who decide to make the purchase, I'd have an easier time believing that they aren't actually motivated by simmering resentment and jealously towards those with more disposable income.
 
I figured it was time I moved on from the 8800 series. I ordered enough to upgrade all the Ultras/GTX's I have.
