That's pretty hot! 8800GTS 512MB are going for around $250 (factory overclocked versions).

Whoa, shipping is reasonable too. $5 for me 🙂

damn hot! anyone got a MIR or coupon for TD?

Does this card require dual pci-e 6 pin power feeds?

Yes it does.

The guy reviewing it is mildly amusing.

Ground shipping for me is free. I don't know how they can do that with shipping costs so high. This card is $300 at NE and it has very good reviews. No tax for those in CA.

tempting (especially if gt200 will be out within the 90 day trade up period), but I don't trust tiger (and not sure if I trust compusa since Tiger owns them). Though I guess since it has a lifetime warranty and all support would be through evga anyway then they cant screw up much.

If you plan to step up anyway, I'd buy the 8800gts KO, EVGA MSRP's This card @ the same price as that one and it sells for $40-50 less. But if you want to keep the card, and don't want to MIR, this price is good.

If you are sure that you will step up the price doesn't really matter because you are going to pay the difference when you step up.

I don't really see how this card is much better that an 8800 GTS anyway. From what I've read, they are so close you would never tell the difference in gaming.

The difference is the die shrink. Consumes less power and runs cooler.

The 9800 consumes less power therefore yet...
it requires requires 2 PCI-E plugs instead of 1 on the 8800GTS 512?

😕
