now lets keep in mind these are not cheap subs. and i don;t why but i am completely addicted to good sounding and loud bass. so after the mobo (this MSI is driving me up a wall) the subs are the number one priority. it's not like the 8800gtx is going to hold me back for to long:D and the goal is to finally end up with what i have planned out but it might not be until the end of summer. but i will have a bunch of nice video cards and one pounding car:D

well, there are $430 9800gx2's currently at newegg, so it is cheap enough to compete with 4850 crossfire, and it looks like the 9800gx2 will be faster generally with AA and AF on. so as long as they exist through the end of july, it could put a pretty big dent in amd's initial sales.

Yeah I'm slow with answering posts sometimes. :rolleyes:

I was thinking about how it's easier to design sinks for the card if the one side that's supposed to be cooled well doesn't look like a mess. Thinking of nv cards... :shrug:

I don't know if anyone's told you this, but you're very right, and the same holds true for Nvidia. :)

Noice!

$200

And $150 for a 8800 GTS 512. We'll have to wait til next week to see how the 4850 fares in reviews and benchmarks, but they had better start thinking about lowering prices unless they can beat the 8800 GTS by a significant margin.

Whens this review getting put up?
