Yeah, it was a bad analogy.

Because when the 6870 was on sale I did not have money? Also, pretty false on perf/watt.

None in stock. At least, none price gouged.

lol
I have no idea what you're saying and where you're going with this. Why would I purchase a card that offers equivalent performance for my old 4850? I'm paying money to get the same card back?Do you really not see the difference between someone saying "the card has similar performance to a card you could have bought a year and a half ago at a similar price but at least it draws a little less electricity" and "its faster than the competitions offering, cheaper, and draws less electricity while to boot"? Really?

Sure would be nice to be able to read about 680/780 and less about dumb bickering back and forth.

Three models in-stock, MSI one shows over 100+ in stock, and appeared several hours ago. GTX 670 has been in-stock at a few places most of the time, except for some few-hour spans and yesterday (which was a Sunday) since its launch. Lots of them to go around and they've been selling like hotcakes judging by how many have been coming in and going out.
When I ordered (last sunday? monday?) none in stock. Since my computer doesn't work without a GPU, well, there was that. Again, I also got a sapphire heatsink compared to the stock gtx670.
I sense there is little point in continuing this discussion, because while $50 is a paltry sum to some who dump $500 on a GTX680 at launch, it is not to me. I respect your monetary priorities, and I ask you respect mine.
Note that by investing in a 7870 I invest in technology that is only beginning it's lifespan vs. EOL HD6xxx series. I was tempted to pick up the 219.99 6950 earlier, but to me improved power characteristics are important. I think I made an argument against slippery slope logic that says "10 watts! no biggie!" which naturally could extrapolate back to me buying thermi. I dropped 20 watts idle, and with the monitor off that's another 30. Worth it.

The Gigabyte GTX 670 OC has been priced at MSRP ($399.99) the whole time and provides an excellent third-party heatsink as well. While the gap between a 670 and a 680 isn't big at all (virtually non-existent), the gap from a 7870 vs. a 670 is notable and justifies the price difference handily for most. Still, it's your cash, and your priorities... if you're happy with what you got then that's good !
Like I said, 50 bux buys me a lot of delicious food. To each his own
I agree that if I was feeling more adventurous I would have bought into one though.

With any luck that drops in June. I want some more downward pressure on prices.
LOL. 50 dollars usually means mostly craft dinner and Ramen but it sounds like Cegras does a monthly trip to no frills. We pay a lot more for our produce and generally more for our meat compare to the USA, unless you want to go to the asian supermarkets with low grade meat. But no frills offers really good deals usually once a month with decently(not yummy or delicious by any means), a grade above what you get at a dollar store food.

Here are some of the deals.
But I agree with Oblivion here. The e7200 is way underpowered now and need to upgrade that motherboard and processor asap.

Nope .. I have fresh meat, fish, fruit, and bread for the week. I get my veggies at a chinese grocer. I do my trips weekly and visit both whole foods and jewel-osco. The meat isn't USDA prime, sure, but the fish is fresh and the beef is alright. I get pork related stuff from the chinese grocer.

So since the GTX 660 looks like it will feature the GK106 chipset, does anyone know if/when Nvidia will be coming out with a more cut down version of the GK104 chip (i.e. GTX 665 or 660Ti..)??
From what I've read, the GTX 660 GK106 will debut at $299/329 so if they do end up coming out with a Ti it will probably be closer to $350 I would think. I don't feel like waiting much longer for Nvidia to release these cards so it's either going to be a 7850 or wait...
