^ That is the link there.

I just bought this card from a friend for $100 almost new. I'm still kinda confused though why it's so much compared to the others though.

Anyone know?

People are dumb. Most people don't research the cards they buy and they purchase the old gts thinking its the new one. This causes the price to go up. Oh well, good marking strategy nvidia picking on the dumb people.
