9800 GX2 Finally For SALE

[Emperor36]

This card is way expensive and it doesn't perform how it suppose to. I'll stick with my Akimbo cooled 8800gt overclocked. It always good to buy the 2nd gen of newer cards, just my tip. (explain) had the 7950gx2 the 8800gtx came out was mad but too expensive waited a whole year and the 8800gt came out and it was at my price range at the moment and bought that and was happy ever since.

To waly:

If they come out with the 10 series like in August or even October. What would you do then?

Just asking. My curiosity. 😀

step up only lasts for 90 days, so it doesnt matter what happens in august. Wish it were longer, but I guess they wouldnt make any money that way

Walys case senario, why not.

But I still would'd get it because when the next gen cards come out we're EEEFFFFed!

Well, in Waly's case I agree 100%. $80 in the computer market is nothing, and you get the fastest "single" card out (until the ATI 4000s, possibly).

I order two of them at 6am this morning,also a 28" LCD to go with them. I used overnite shipping,so they should be here sometime tomorrow morning if newegg does its job right. Now i have to wait till the 25th for two 9800GTX's. Ill use my 512 8800GTS's to step up to the 9800GTX's. Had to sell my three 8800 ultras to buy the GX2s. Now it's waiting a week for Quad SLI drivers. I just recieved 8GBs of PC 8500 Patriot Vipers also.

Just curious, did you see your shadow this year?

Literally I would buy the card right now if it were'nt **** 799.99 at my local computer shops.

I could even handle 699.....

Perhaps in a few weeks it will drop

When I read all the posts about the 9800GX2 I always laugh.
Waly, good deal. As for nvidia and everyone else who owns a gtx, ultra or gts, they shot themselves in the foot and is spoiled by the success of the cards.
When the gtx and ultra came out, people bought them for the 600 and up price tag that was put on them because of the major gains seen compared to the options at that time. A year or more later, the 9800gx2 comes out for around the same price and people is screaming murder mainly because of the price/performance ratio. Come on Nvidia, get off you high horse, you have competition now.
Nvidia is shooting themselves in the foot as they are trying to price this card ultra and gtx prices, with a few gains and cheaper options out there.
As I see it, nvidia has 2 options, kill the sales of this card or the ultra and gtx, because I don't think that both can live in this market at the given prices and the various options available.

In some ways, I wish my 8800GTX performed 10-20% worse.
