Stupid NVidia, 8800GT 512

Mr. LL · 12-12-2007, 05:02 PM

They just pushed my order back to the first week of January.

If it ever comes in I am paying $250 for it, does anyone know where I can get the 8800GT for around $250 that is actually in stock?

Why does this happen when they have new cards come out? How frustrating.

try
NCIX.com - Canada's Premier Computer Store - Great Technology, Service and Selection.

no evga, but had 4 XFX in stock this morning...3 now since i ordered one....

Mr. LL · 12-12-2007, 06:16 PM

Is there much difference between the XFX and a Galaxy card?

I have the galaxy one. It works great...overlcocks well too...i would personally get that one.

Mr. LL · 12-12-2007, 06:59 PM

Now stupid Amazon won't let me cancel the order

um...shouldn't they all cool the same?
or do they have different heatsinks?

ricanflow · 12-12-2007, 07:56 PM

The xfx version has a bigger fan than standard specs, so it should run cooler and quieter.

The Galaxy has a different sort of heatsink that actually looks quite cool, and they got a blue pcb which I like, here's a pic:

ricanflow · 12-12-2007, 08:53 PM
