OK. For those who may remember earlier this month when I told everyone about these hot new video cards, they're here. I got mine already, an EVGA 8800GT 512MB, mainly since they have a lifetime warranty, and that warranty is transferrable. So when the next new hotness comes out, I can sell it with confidence. But this may be one of the best bargains I've seen so far. Dell.com has the MSI NX8800GT-T2D512E-OC for only ........ $207.99. A cool 80 bucks under what I paid for mine. The only catch is that it is only shipping in about 1 to 2 weeks, but if you can stand the wait, I encourage all of you to take advnatage of this bargain. So far, video performance with this card is extrordinary. Plus mine came with a free copy of Crysis, and I couldn't play the demo at too high a resolution, but I anticipate cranking this baby up. Neverwinter Nights 2 has never performed as well as it does now (btw, this game has beautiful spell effects when you crank all the settings up). Lord of the Rings Online and World of Warcraft just look stunning.
UPDATE: There is also an XFX 8800GT 512 Card at Dell also for only $234.68. Little more reliablemanufacturer.
