Damn! that is some aggressive pricing by nvidia.. thats gonna put even some more pressure on ati now.. but damn! I am now even more tempted to upgrade my PC this summer rather than delaying it for 2008 lol

although im just hyping, x600's were always priced like this on release anyway. Im just overexcited on the thought of an e4300 + 8600gt lol
Be very nice if this is true :)
Id go for the ultra myself though for the price difference :)
yeah i might go ultra too but considering a budget pc..
e4300CPU = £100 (ill expect the prices on these cards to go even lower)
8600gt = £80 (ish)
mobo = £80 (thats a good one already)
2 gig memory = £100
£360
Oc'ing the CPU to 3Ghz is achievable. What a cheap rig this is gonna be.. for the performance I can get out of it its amazin. Crysis, UT2007.. Here I come! lol
gimme other dx10games to play? *and thinks about having to spend for vista* premium or ultimate? ill have to wait for the verdict when it comes out and people get to compare the two OS's
I agree, very good time for overclockers and budget systems :D
Btw - 2GiB DDR2 for £100 ? Where ? :D
ddr2 2gb will be £100 when ddr3 comes out lol, unless you pick up some pc2 4200 cheep, which is poor.:surprised:
What kinda performance d'you all think these will be achieving... cos I just bought a ruddy X1950XT. :undecided
quite surprising, hopefully there will be a nice wave of price wars coming :)
meh... i think most peeps will be wanting to go for the 8600Ultra rather than the GT. Especially with it having the extra shaders rather than just a clock speed bump

Not to mention the memory controller bandwidth size.. 256 vs 128..Quote:

i have to say tho. the fact they ARE 256 is a serious leap forward from the 76xx series. good time ahead!
I've heard that the 8600/8300 are meant to get the 7900/1950 owners onto 8600/8300 cards :O_o1:
i wouldnt have thaught so. if you got a 7900 then your not afraid to spend a little more on a graphics card.
That's what I heard any way :O_o1:
I think you find it's wouldn't or would not and it's thought not thaught :p :mrgreen:
It will probably be $150 in the states and £150 here :/
Looks like i'll be needing a new card this year then *sigh* i was hoping for 2 years use out of it :(
why would you need a new card? surely the one you have will be fine for another year at the very least ?Quote:
