Lol that video card blows. I'll stick with my 8800gtx they can be found for a decent price and they out perform that card by 10 fold

Re: new cheap comp setup
 

I'll sell ya 1 month old 7950gt512 for cheap if you want it random ;) And a 8800gtx is old technology that can be beat by cards that cost 220$ while they still cost over 400$

Re: new cheap comp setup
 

Huh? I got mine for 220 shipped. NIB

Re: new cheap comp setup
 

Sounds like a good setup you got there, very close to mine. I just bought a 8600gt-512 for my old man for xmas, I hope its a decent card.... ------- video cards up here are so pricey, I should have bought it online for sure, oh well next time.

Re: new cheap comp setup
 

i don't have any games that new to need a better card.

it was cheap thats why i got it 8) i would've got a 8800gt but of course they all sold out.

if i have the desire to play a new game i'll just get a new card at that time.

New Egg is selling recertified Raptors for $89 IIRC. Two of those in raid would rip.

$220 for a 8800gtx seems like a really good deal. Where from?
Ive been looking at the 512 8800gt. Toms hardware had a good comp. article, and the price/perf. sweet spot was the 8800GT.

Re: new cheap comp setup
 

yeap, good luck finding one, they are still backordered everywhere
