X1800XT @ Newegg

yes, saw your post in the other thread about x1800's being in stock...

eta shows 11/3 tho.. and today is 11/3.
 
$600, lol. What a rip off. (I'd wait for prices to be closer to the 7800gtx before buying this).

Big heatsink...hmm. oh well.

At least they're available now.

and they say a sucker is born every minute.




Pretty sure Nv rained on their parade with hopes of a 512 GTX with higher clocks.
 
oh.. they show in stock? 10 min ago it said "out of stock" and eta 11/3.. heh, well that makes my original comment look silly 😉
 
As far as I'm concerned, anyone that pays $600 for a video card, whether it's ATI or Nvidia or whatever, is a sucker. Somehow these graphics companies have managed to convince the enthusiast crowd that video cards are worth $500-600. Those graphics companies are the real winners here, not the consumer.

Which is why I think SLI/Crossfire setups are either for the extremely rich, or extremely stupid. And I own a SLI capable mobo (bought for it's other features and not SLI).

i'm not sure about that

a 7800 GT SLI would run $600ish. thats a lot of money but i dont think you necessarily have to be rich to afford it. also, i dont think a 7800GT SLI setup is stupid either...

I paid $1000 for my Quadro 3400, $2500 for my Quadro 4500, and $100K for my SGI InfiniteReality. That makes the X1800XT look cheap. 🙂

Some professionals (like me) may need it. Some gamers with too much money on their hands may buy it. Otherwise, I agree with you.
