Look here http://www.tdshop.fr/Negozio.asp?IdNegozio=1&Categoria=45&SottoCategoria=&CodProdotto=B994421 OUCH!!

 

[fly2hip8]

A little early, huh? haha

 

[shadowthor]

ouch is right. Who would pay for that video card at that price.

 

[JAYDEEJOHN]

People will. Not sure what the exchange rate is, but its nowheres near 1:1. People will buy these , I have no doubt, but to me, something with same power or a lil less and cheaper works for me

 

[Kari]

Thats actually cheaper than I thought it would be...

 

[Commander_Keen]

that's a little over $900 us/can

 

[JAYDEEJOHN]

Thats 911 US, in like 911 emergency

 

[HTDuro]

929.63$can and 909.08$us... ill never pay for a card at this price ...

 

[JAYDEEJOHN]

I think this is of course an intro price, but at Ultra prices even so. I hope someone does, or its bad times for the green team.

 

[Physicz]

^^^^ FINALY SOMEONE SAYS THAT!

i think everyone should follow that rule

 

[terror112]

Just waiting for my $300 sweet spot!

 

[SirCrono]

I usually pay about 400~500 US$ for my video cards, but then again I live in South America and we pay twice as much as you US folks do for our tech goodies.

So that things' going to cost about 1500 US$ here, yikes!

 

[JAYDEEJOHN]

Prices will come down, this IS an intro price, keep that in mind, but it is extremely high

 

[L1qu1d]

lol makes my GX2 look cheap hahah Now I feel better hahaha

 

[JAYDEEJOHN]

So far, rumours are 2x ultra speeds

 

[Shadow703793]

Just wait until valid/real benches are released.

Patience is a virtue.

 

[L1qu1d]

thats low... I've seen the GX2 match 2 Ultras in Benchmarks, even get more! And the GX2 wasn't even oced.

Ofc not on everygame, it was noticeable the most in COD4.

 

[JAYDEEJOHN]

But then again, that wouldnt happen with just one card as opposed to sli.

 

[L1qu1d]

Here are some benchmarks, where GX2 is very close to two Ultras and the GX2 isn't Oced to match 2 9800 GTXs.

CoD4

HL2: Episode 2

Quake Wars

Colin McRae Dirt

 

[ovaltineplease]

So far, rumours are 2x ultra speeds

if it is, i'm buying 2.

 

[ovaltineplease]

Here are some benchmarks, where GX2 is very close to two Ultras and the GX2 isn't Oced to match 2 9800 GTXs.

Not that i'm saying I don't believe you, but I do somewhat find these benchmarks difficult to believe given THG has done similar benchmarks when the 9800 GX2 was released showing a single 8800 ultra matching/coming close to 9800 GX2 in a lot of cases

Maybe the driver support since then made a monumental difference, but I still have a hard time swallowing that.

I run 2 8800 GT in SLI (which is very similar performance to 9800 GX2 by a lot of accounts) and my numbers don't match that of 2 ultras ..

 

[L1qu1d]

what are you talking about?

a 9800 GX2 comes close 2 8800 GTS in sli, the 8800 GT has lower specs :S

And yes the new drivers made a hugh difference considering my Crysis Frames jumped from 30-40 to around 70 at 1280 resolution.

You don't need to beleive me, you can search the web .

Quad SLI still needs new drivers, it was stated in the review that they had alot more headroom.

I'm not knocking any other card down, but I'd like to see the 280 GTX make a revolution in frames, maybe 100+ frames in Crysis.

For me, I'm not keeping sides with any card, my friends owns around 2-3 computers stores, and I just exchange my components lol. So for me I just want to see huge for me to go through all the trouble of changing cards

 

[3Ball]

Yea, those prices will come down. Considering the card hasnt released... lol, but I wont pay more than $650 (US) for one. Alas, I digress!

Best,

3Ball

 

[pcgamer12]

I wouldnt pay $300 for it, but then again I wouldnt pay more than $200 for any video card.

On the real.

 

[ovaltineplease]

what are you talking about?

a 9800 GX2 comes close 2 8800 GTS in sli, the 8800 GT has lower specs :S

so what is better performance, 2 8800 GTS SLI or 2 8800 U SLI

I was under the impression that the 8800 Ultra was quite largely superior to a g92 GTS - especially at high resolutions/AA

So where does it fall?
