    USA always seems to have the best prices in the world, because its the biggest market?

    the size of our market is probably the biggest factor, but i'm sure it doesn't hurt that Intel, AMD, and Nvidia are all American companies (and ATI is now owned by AMD).

    sorry if this thread has gotten off topic, but the OP isn't posting very many benchies!

    the above link has a driver hotfix for ATI cards. it claims improved Crysis performance and improved Crysis CrossFire performance. it looks like it's just a beta for the soon to be released 7.11 Catalyst, so it will be mainstream very soon anyway.

    I've already got one. Think I'm going to end up ordering 2 more when the Egg has them in stock.

    I got mine from diamond for $10 over MSRP last night. Just checked and they still have stock but WOW. They are charging $299 now. Coming from one of the cards manufacture that is total BS. Not to mention $15 S&H which is pretty high if you ask me.

    it was more of a joke. but of course you're right that the release date might get pushed back but judging by what i got today it's lookin pretty good.

    Had to block some stuff out....

    oooh, i'm glad i ordered mine on the first day. i was afraid something like this might happen, so i got two for $219 each from Newegg. they arrive on Monday


    for those that haven't bought yet, you might consider waiting. Asus is releasing a model with aftermarket cooling on it. i heard the special edition will be clocked at 850/2300 (the memory was actually clocked in the high 2200's, but i forget the exact number and don't feel like looking it up).

    i'm pretty sure the egg will still be selling them for $219... the problem lies with when they actually get them in stock. if they don't come in till the new year, i'm waiting for the new high end cards.

    stinking the egg could have made a million plus these last 2 days just off sales they would have made on the 3870..that is if they would have had enough to supply the majority with our needs instead of teasing us.
