Where do you buy a 8800GT?

[imported_Shaq]

They still have EVGA superclocked at Newegg and Quake Wars is inside the box already.

Newegg links


ASUS 8800GT

EVGA 8800GT Superclocked

XFX 8800GT

 

[techgamer]

do these EVGA cards also qualify for the step up program?

 

[imported_Shaq]

yep to step up

 

[techgamer]

Do gpu coolers come in different sizes or should any zalman vf*** series fit this card?

 

[dreddfunk]

tech - gpu coolers are manufactured to fit a certain range of cards, though that range can be quite broad. The placement of the bracket for the stock cooler, its size, the position of the screws, etc., seem to vary a great deal from GPU to GPU. So right now it's a bit difficult to say what coolers will fit the GT.

Cheers.

theres a list of coolers that fit the GT, including the thermalright hr-03 v2 (non plus), vf900 (you will have a little trouble), fatal1ty zv7 (something like that) and vf1000


One of the reasons why I bought the zalman vf1000

 

[dreddfunk]

cool swtethan - I didn't know that. Thanks for providing tech with better info!

 

[techgamer]

where did you buy the vf1000, I cant find it on the egg or clubit

I got it at www.heatsinkfactory.com its a reputable site (its listed on thermalright's website even). $54 and NO you do not need to buy the $30 8800 kit thank goodness!

Tiger Direct Canada has the 8800GT for over $300.

PNY 8800GT for $317.99

XFX 8800GT Alpha Dog Edition for $341.99

EVGA 8800GT Superclocked for $329.99

Both the EVGA and XFX one come with a free game.

Shouldn't these video cards be cheaper than the ones in USA since the dollar is at almost $1.05...

I'm still not going to pull the trigger yet. I'm going to patiently wait for my 2GB of RAM and for Canada Computers and NCIX to have it on sale.

eventhough the egg's warranty is 30-day limited you still get a lifetime warranty from EVGA right?

Any fan that fits the 7800? fits it. One of the reviews had it. I will edit this when I find it. I think it is the 7800.

wow thats a great deal... the link you posted at the top of the thread (where i am assuming you bought it) says 250 for that card... thats why i was wondering... they must have raised the price or something since they sold out... still anything below retail is a steal at this point i think...

 

[Chaotic42]

Does anyone have any idea how this will compare to a 7800GTX? I was going to skip the 8-series, but nVidia is stretching it out too much.

actually scratch that.. since i posted its actually 260 now.. lol guess they figured out they had it under priced! lol

 

[requiem1]
