just ordered one a little while ago ship date says dec 10th

id rather get the MSI and get a factory OC'd board and 2 free great games

trt740, this is the second thread I've seen you crap on, so just call it a day will ya?

Anyway, that's pretty nice that Dell allows you to order it when it's out of stock. This last week trying to order it was awful... anyway, at least people can buy it now and rest in peace, while saving some cash!

trt740well at that price you could sell both at retail and still make 20.00 a piece the price on the gt won't go down near Christmas, there won't be any in stock any place. Thx Zek ordered two should help me pay for my GTX. Retail for those are 269.00 and you won't see a retail price anytime soon. It is just like the G0 quads they never sold at retail unless you count day one, even today they are 20.00 to 30.00 over the Intel retail price. They will never go down before Xmass and even when the 8800 gts 512mb comes out they will be even more popular because the 8800 gts 512mb is really not much better but will cost more make the 8800 gt even more popular. Also if they do go down in price just cancel the order. It's a Win WIN!!!! for the record I'm selling theses bad boys. 2 weeks before Xmass is perfect.

I wouldn't call this crapping on a thread. Might be a good Idea to read a entire post before you say something. Since I thanked Zek and ordered two of these myself your not making sense. Also the other thread was mine and I think someone else crapped on the thread wow!!!! I'm wondering might someone have two techpowerup accounts humm

Yes Trt,..crap IS in the forest ya know!:laugh:

I bought one, I will be sending my HD2900 back, then after christmass I will order one of the Dual 3870s, and return the 8800. Thats gives me $100 back now and I will pay in 100-200 more for Crossfire in a matx computer later. :]

HD8900? Tell us of this. Now.

Blunder fixed :] I typed 2800 by mistake hit over AND delete which resulted in 8900 instead of 2900 :)

i was replying just to reply to the thread itself...so my mistake

Once again us UK residents get bent over; the 8800GT is not even for sale on the Dell UK site :mad:

"this page cannot be displayed"

but w/e i ordered my XFX Extreme version from newegg last week and it comes in tomorrow. :D

i hear that damm americans dont realise how lucky they are, in the UK 8800gt is still at least $300 equivilant, unless some very nice person knows of some lovely website??

the page cannot be displayed is for the MSI one, the XFX one is still up there.

dude, almost all the 8800GT's are about $300 over here in america. the cheapest you can get is about $269.99. Average is about $295-300.

All the cheap ones are out of stock, so you pretty much have to buy a $300 one.

Links to more 8800GT's added to front page/first post :).

zekrahminatorOh shut up the pound is worth two dollars :p.

Thats not cause the pounds strong, it's cause the $ is sh*t..........:p

Most UK cheaper ones that are actually available retail for around £170 so thats about $350 US. Some are £190 which is around $392 :eek:

zekrahminatorOh shut up the pound is worth two dollars :p.

& that is why we get ripped off not to mention VAT which amounts to 17.5% & thats BEFORE the retailler has added his cut of the profit on top.

How did you figure this out? I just asked a Dell rep, and they had no idea. :confused:

DUDE, I just payed 365 for a real NVIDIA 8800gt. Probably a bit much but I dont care, worth it!
thats what I payed for my x80xtpe a couple of years ago!

so you consider the MSI card fake I'm guessing? :laugh:

NO! I'm just saying that that's prolly why it cost bloody 365 bucks!!!
It was all I could get my hands on!!! :)

Actually the funny part is you dont see too many "real" Nvidias here in Canada, so I'm really surprised I found one.

bombfirst885How did you figure this out? I just asked a Dell rep, and they had no idea. :confused:

just read a review of it and it listed the contents in the retail box and thats what it said


and for the guy who paid 365.. im sorry but you must be missing something as dell is still selling the xfx for $230... there is nothing fake about these cards you just don't wanna admit you got burned lol:laugh:
