"El Cheap" 8800 GTS 320MB is what... $300? That's most of the cost of the ps3/360 right there never mind the rest of the kit.


No, $279, that's about the same as Wii. And the cheaper 8800 GT is coming in a week or two. And considering most people already have a PC for everything else, you only need to put the card in and violá.

@ssj12: You got a 8400? As a stopgap I guess? Is it any good? :P


Myself, I'm waiting for the RV670 to come out, because I'll be damned if I crossfire two dustbuster 2900s in my whisper-quiet rig while consuming more electricity than a hair dryer.


*pats on shoulder* ATI has become complete garbage just like AMD. They were both in the lead with their tech but now they suck and since they are the same company now they can drag eachother down. Intel QX9650 and Nvidia 9800GTX FTW!!!


You could've said the same about Intel when AMD were utterly destroying Intel with the Athlon series, or when ATI came out with the 9600.

This is technology, and they all have their ups and downs, but if the RV670 doesn't deliver, nor the 780, I will relegate my crossfire mb to home theater status and just get an SLI.


AMD has no chance in hell with the Phenom based Athlons and ATI disnt deliver with a single promiss with the HD2900XT and wont with the HD2900XTX or the R780 w/e that will really be called.


That's what Intel said prior to AMD's Athlon, and we all remember how that turned out, eh?

You seem to be an Intel fanboy. Well, sorry to disappoint, but I am a fanboy of technology, and swear no allegiance to bullcrap like names. My current rig, as a matter of fact, is Intel-based, simply because currently it is superior to AMD, not because I wear Intel on my sleeve. Of course, if AMD came out on top again, I would not hesitate for a second to add whatever chip they have into my PC, not because I made some secret blood pact with the AMD fraternity, but because it would be the better product. Period. I hope you are like that as well, otherwise you may see yourself having to suck up bullcrap that AMD fanboys dish at you for choosing the losing side.
