Good for u man.Its a great card.I enjoy playing oblivion with most IQ turned up using it.(1280x1024)
And other vendors won't?Nvidia's pricing of their new motherboard chipsets and their latest videocards shows us that they will rape us if given the chance.

Actually, Nvidia has been the one increasing MSRP prices every new gen... ATi sort of tries to keep them down... Just from my memory, 7800GTX was 599 right? X1800 was 549$ although it was (much) better, even when they launched the x1900xtx and nvidia had no competition, they kept the msrp at 549, and then launched a x1950xtx again without competition, at 449$... But as soon as Nv launches its 8800 the MSRP goes up to 649$.. bastards
How? The X1900XTX had an MSRP of $650 when it arrived. The 8800GTX was / is $650 as well.Actually, Nvidia has been the one increasing MSRP prices every new gen... ATi sort of tries to keep them down...
...and much later.Just from my memory, 7800GTX was 599 right? X1800 was 549$ although it was (much) better...
They did have competition, that's why it was $450. The 7950GX2 was the only thing keeping them away from the performance crown and it was pretty expensive. They launched the X1950XTX for similar (sometimes better) performance at a lower price to counter Nvidia's flagship card....and then launched a x1950xtx again without competition, at 449$
??? ATi did it to.But as soon as Nv launches its 8800 the MSRP goes up to 649$.. bastards
The X1900XT hasn't even been around for a year.now x1900xt was the industry leader for over a year and the newer cards are still being compared to it!
lol, why would I bad mouth the card I've purchased? Both companies will "rape" us if given the chance, corporations and consumers have different market goals.Originally posted by: santz
if you dont stop bad mouthing my x1900xt, i will...i will, go ahead and and and do nothing!![]()
Yes, but then I assume that you agree that without both of them around, the other would certainly charge us even more.Originally posted by: josh6079
.... ATi isn't all that much different than Nvidia when you take a look at the whole picture.
Of course, that's why we have $650 GPU's. I don't think either have launched their flagship cards at exactly the same time. Each take advantage of being uncontested for 3-6 months.Yes, but then I assume that you agree that without both of them around, the other would certainly charge us even more.
