That's bollocks for canadians. The cheapest I found was ~$80 after rebate. http://www.directcanada.com/products/?sku=11830BD3335&vpn=GV-R465OC-1GI&manufacture=GIGABYTE 8800gs, while the price has gone up slightly since i bought it (blame the falling canadian dollar), still much cheaper: http://www.directcanada.com/products/?sku=10530BD4730&vpn=EN8800GS/HTDP/384M&manufacture=ASUS the 8800gs is very easily overclockable as well. Mine is at 709 / 1702 / 902. |
I know. I've already agreed the 8800GS is much better value than the 4650. However, the 9600GSO has completely replaced the 8800GS in the US (and Canada soon) as it is the same chip (so same performance) but rebranded, and is more expensive than the 4650 in Canada. So, the part which Nvidia intends to compete with ATI isn't better value.
