Going to ncix, I find no such deal, the lowest they have being $175.

Someone provide a link to one of these low deals that are supposed to exist.

The net is full of bull... (you know the thing that comes from a bull's ass): http://xtreview.com/addcomment-id-50...X2-Crysis.html - There is no huge difference between 8800 GT and HD 4850 ...and yet HD 4870 smacks 9800 GX2's hiney.

This brings back memories from the old days before ATi 2900XT was launched. 512 Bits + 1GB GDDR3/4 sure fulled a lot of people about the real performance behind it. After it was launched it turned to be an hungry power monster with little potential at whatever you throw at it... :shakes:

........

I say we wait a month or two after the final launch and then talk about comparisons... something doesn't smell right. It's either red or green diarrhea, cant's say the color but I sure can smell it all around the globe. :sick:
