It is a monster for the price:
http://en.expreview.com/2009/04/24/f...9-monster.html
what price is it projected to be on the market? and would it be worth moving to from a 8800gt?
It is meant to be priced at the $100 mark so it should be around £80 once prices have settled down.Quote:

nah I think the 8800gt is adequate for my needs for the next few months, looks like my next upgrade will be a dx11 card.
The only game I have to turn settings down on is Crysis and I'm not too fussed on it as a game anyway, it's more a glorified bench marking tech demo.
Crysis Warhead actually runs better IMHO. TBH I would be looking at a 100% performance increase between upgrades ideally!Quote:

Wow now that is VERY good... i think this will replace my 9800GTX at that price since it runs like 50W less and performs almost the same!.
So, it should be around £75 if we are lucky. But that cooler is ugly. :p
Meh, would be a good upgrade if you already dont have a current gen graphics card.
Whens the next gen (ATi 58xx and nVidia 3xx) getting released?
I doubt you will save the price difference of upgrading in energy cost... :eek:Quote:

Yeah pretty scummy to profiteer off your mates, especially when he can buy a better brand new card for less than the price your selling it for.Quote:
