I think yesterday Sapphire's HD2900XT was selling for $429 on newegg. Tonight I checked the newegg and it is selling for $374.99! Yes, it is the retail verison and not a refurb. That about a $55 price drop! A few other manufactures dropped the prices on their HD2900XT cards too.

That price makes this card way more competitive.
The last few reviews on the site are good too.

andOther Thoughts: i dunno what all the other people who say it runs hot or the drivers suck are talking about, just set your fan control to actually spin more than 10% under load, i've never gone over 60c with a slight overclock on it
Maybe this card does not run as hot as some people think. It May be worth getting.Pros: Extremely fast. Overclocks very well. Stock cooler does a very good job.
Cons: Not as fast as an 8800 GTX, but the 2900 is quite a bit cheaper.
