Seriously, why buy a 3870 when they are the same price. I really hope they bring down the 3870's into the $199 range, I'll scoop one up in a heart beat. Nvidia's overscan compensation is horrible, so I have to go ATI.

I would think since the 88gt's price is dropping faster then the 3870's there is either more of a demand for the 3870's for the e/retailers to leave the price inflated or Nvidia is really ramping up production on the spec 88gt boards causing the supply to increase.

Mind over matter: I don't mind and it don't matter

oh crap! I just bought that card for 250!
haha. Well, I really don't think ati has anything to worry about. I'm still seeing some of the top scores for 3dmark06 and pcmark05 being held by 2900xt's.
The hybrid crossfire looks very interesting, so much so that nvidia is going to be doing the same thing with their chipsets. Amd and ati still have great products in the server market.

he's trying to "right" a poem? was the poem wrong somehow? and how would we know unless he'd "written" it first?

on topic...can't wait to see two of these in cross(quad?)fire! retail parts, not samples. any word if we're going to get a special edition sapphire part, a la "atomic" editions?

I think generalhoultz needs to work on his iambic pentameter

So does this mean nVidia has lowered the MSRP of the 8800 GT? They must be worried about the 3870x2.

All this price gouging lol, thank goodness I said screw it and went with that $300 GTS (just lovin it).

I think the 3870 will fall if NV's GT continues to fall.
