Jump on this bargain now.

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.

Just wait a few more weeks for that video card

OK. Just to let you know, this is not a possible buy, but the only thing is when and from which manufacturer I get it from. Ladies (if any of you read us) and gentlemen, I present your next video card. The NVidia 8800GT!!! They are utilizing a 65nm process (as opposed to 80 or 90 with previuos models), and even though the bus speed is less than a 8800 GTS, it is about 30% faster. I also love the fact that they only use one slot. This thing better fit in my Shuttle case or I will crack someone's skull!!! I'M SERIOUS!!! But there is a great article on Tom's Hardware that gives it the full run through and this is the definitive mid range video card. Already seeing it in the 250-310 range on various websites including my favorite newegg.com. But don't just take my word for it. Check it out at Tom's Hardware.
