The FTW is out of stock already lol.

I hate it when people post reviews on newegg and they don't even own the product.

See its things like that, that I don't use the Newegg reviews... There is jus so many fanboi bull in the reviews... I rather get a review from a person TPU then a no nothing from Newegg or any other site...

EVGA GTX 280WTF Edition more like it, that price is insane! But I suppose that's what you have to pay to get top of the line performance.

Screw NVIDIA. Those prices are ridiculously over priced.

And Newegg know it. Looks like they are checking how many people wanting them before getting any.

not entirelly . . . I break it down like this, per unit:

extra 5-??? FPS: $30
R&D for new product title: $85
new packaging: $35
new sticker: $20
new marketing propaganda: $15
profit margin: $15

[I.R.A]_FBi · Jun 17, 2008

no .. its a prepayment for the electric bill

The pre-marketing propaganda has to go in here somewhere. The bribe money for those BS relative performance charts had to cost something :roll:

sure - that came in the form of tribute offered by all the game developers out there. They fork over the cash under the assumption that they will recieve an allowance later on during their game development.
