So I am doing my last minute shopping list for Boxing Day (Canada) 
and there are quite some interesting cards on rebate and I need some help deciding which one to choose.
329.99 CAD = XFX GeForce 8800GTS 512MB PCIE Video Card - Alpha Dog Edition

249.99 CAD = EVGA e-GeForce 8800GT 512MB PCI-Express Video Card

249.99 CAD = BFG GeForce 8800 GT 512MB PCIe Video Card
http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/p [...] 083&catid=
I am going for a custom built PC with SLI (2 cards)
At first I wanted the GT 512 because it's cheaper but I also want the GTS 512 because it's slightly more powerful and operates much cooler and more quiet. I don't know anymore!!! 
So far on retail, the cheapest GT 512 I've seen is 300 CAD and cheapest GTS 512 is about 400 CAD.
I would go with that EVGA 8800GT and then step up in February (hopefully when the 9800 is release) and just pay the difference.

I agree with this guy.
