Funny you mention Fry's. And in the other article about BFG being $299.00. But at Fry's they have the BFG 8800GT OC 512 for $239.99.

$229 for a card that's almost as good as the $500+ GTX card? :eek:

And you get the infamous Step-Up program? Man... I couldn't resist. I just orderd one!!

niko084 · Oct 30, 2007

Ya thats getting pretty tempting now... Maybe I wont wait for the Ati 38**'s...

HeavyH20 · Oct 30, 2007

It is possible that Fry's missed out on getting some immediate stock, so they are taking some sales from others with a lower price. You may have to wait a week to get the card, but the savings may justify that duration for some.

You can get two of these for the price of the 8800 GTX!

Meh Ive still got my eyes on a set of EVGA 8800GTS 320Mb KO AS3's

Great bang for buck tho!

running 2 of them in SLI for that price must be a real treat

Darksaber · Oct 30, 2007

man they even do international shipping!!! Damn 20% taxes here in Austria though, I would only save 20€ for each card...

cheers

21% here

ps: i think this should be in the hot deals section

I'm starting to be tempted by the Green team here. My AMD board easily mods into an SLI board, and my Intel board that needs rma'd is a 680i. I could sell my 2900 on ebay, and probably get enough for 2 of these, well darn close, anyway.

Why? The 8800GT puts them to shame. It's almost as fast as the GTX.

cool_recep · Oct 30, 2007

229 x 2= 458 $

You can make an SLI system....

Links don't work anymore.

JC316 · Oct 30, 2007

Thats because they are gone. I got one of these, and I am hoping that they ship it to me.

Ok...i'm lost. I think i missed something somewhere so correct me if im wrong.

1x 8800GT = Faster then 1x 8800GTS?

because all along i though that the GT model was a more shall we say lower class/range card then the 8800GTS's....

I have read a few reviews of the 8800GT's but i havent really paid much attention

You would think! only Nvidia wanted to lose the trust of their loyal buyers by pulling this crap 2 weeks after some of us droped 400 on secound 8800 gts 640. And acording to evga its not an upgrade going from a gts to a gt my only hope is some numb nuts on ebay has not heard about this :laugh:

or just keep the 2 8800 gts 640's. :twitch:

sorry to dissipoint but im not a loyal Nvidia buyer. this is the first time ive ever actually considerd going Nvidia - otherwise all I do is just read reviews & think "hmm that looks good" so please forgive me for being a total Nvidia noob

therefore ergo 8800GT is faster then a 320Mb 8800GTS but not faster then a 640Mb 8800GTS??

since you did say that it wasnt an upgrade going from a GTS to a GT which would make the GTS a more powerful card which would also mean that performance wise is THAT the GTS is much closer to the GTX then the GT???

there for I was correct in saying that the GT was a 'lower' class card if by a tiny smidge?

The GT is faster than the 640 GTS too, I will have to see how it competes with my old 2900 pro/xt

thank you for kicking me out of a rather enigmatic ramble (going to have nightmares about the words 'GT' & 'GTS' when i got to bed tonight) & putting my mind at rest

In which case, I cant wait to see if they will bring out a much better stock cooler for the card. I head the fans on them are pretty noisy & since i have a hex mesh side panel have 2 of these cards are going to sound like a diving plane squeeling as the wind tears at its wings. the kind you get in the old classic war movies where people fly spitfires n P-51 mustangs (etc) that brief...Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee *omg im on fire must bail out* kinda wheeeeeeee kaboom
