Taken from Guru & Muro sources..estimated price will be about 600 $ and that means that it will be about 600 E around here and thats pretty Xpensive...but Ultra was when it came out..still this aint gonna be as bad ass as Ultra was in its days ( still is ) ..i would wait for GT200 series or sumthn..or go for ATI...sourcer claim that ATI will whoop GFs arse with new RV770..maybe? What u think..is 8800 GTS Sli better option or should u wait? :wtf:

I would say wait for some real world benchies before considering it. I think alot of people read to much into 3Dmark and are then disappointed because their real world game FPS are not comparable to their benchmark summaries. Also since I read on the main page XFX has dropped their street prices on the 8800GS, GT, and 9600 GT; you might want to look into the 8800 GT SLI setup since 2 of those will leave you with 200 bucks to find something else to upgrade.

aight..gotta admit that couple o 8800 Gt sounds much better right now...but will see how good will it truly be..i was just asking is the price too salty because 3870x2 costs about 440 E and 9800Gx2 estimated to be 599.90 e as said in big webstore in here..so i people would save very good money going 2 x 3870x2..but will see..i aint all ATI fanboy! :laugh:

that price is an absolute rip-off, nvidia is gonna scew alot pf people over with that card

for that price you could buy 3 9600GT's or 3 HD 3870's

RIP - OFF

I wonder how much the 9800GTX will cost, thats what I'm waiting for
