sry to say this but its not the exact price are you german? can you read german? well i can

Interesting... because 394 EUR in the price history chart matches right up with the price of 394 EUR offered by BA-COMPUTER retailer in the top line of the seller chart from the original page.

Right above Nostra Computersysteme for 402 EUR and diskontcomputer.com for 433 EUR.

No, I don't read German... I'm translating, but am I wrong? :confused:

It looks like all of the early pre-release pictures of the 3870, with that long cooler.
I think I may need to go back to ATI for my next upgrade.

The price in USA is about 500$, because € -> $ conversion isn't that straight-forwarded - e.g in Finland HD4870 costs about ~230 euros, which is well over 300$. It's also one of the first prices to come up, so its bound to cheapener soon.

I cuncur, the dollar is becoming very attractive for us in the EU (although I live in a non-EU country in EU) to buy from. I ordered watercooling a couple months back for 500 $, in europe it would have cost 500 €, which is 775 $.
