I held a 6800GT

I was at the new Fry's in Downer's Grove, IL and I actually saw a retail boxed BFG 6800GT and held it. Sticker price was $399 and I only had $215 on me 🙁. I got a new wireless NIC ( went from b to g) for $30 instead. That's all.

EDIT: I'm talking about the BFG GeForce 6800GT OC video card that is in very short supply.
 
I must not be up to date with the new technologies. I had to look up 6800gt on google.

And I was promptly disappointed.
 
Thats nice. I've had mine for ~week and my ultra should be here today 🙂 Still at work :|

No, I was too ashamed of the miniscule amount of money in my pocket. I could have begged my Dad to loan me the rest (and he would have caved) but I realized that my 5900 is bottlenecked by my CPU (XP 2500) and I'm not a sniveling little bastard that needs daddy to pay for every new toy.

Uh, no it isn't. AA, AF, shadows, and so on are solely the video card's domain.

I can turn AA\AF on and the game still chugs because of my CPU.

The thing is unstable overclocked, not sure exactly what is causing it. I was running at 2.2, and I'll be getting a Mobile XP to tide me over until there's a good Athlon64 bundle deal at Fry's.
