I read a few spots online that a lot of online retailers will put up their stock for sale between midnight and 6 am. I'll be looking before I go to bead, and getting up early if I have to!

They tested Unreal Tournament 3 Demo (link above takes you right there)

I got one :cheers:

I found an EVGA E-GEFORCE 8800GT Superclocked 650MHZ 512MB DDR3 PCI-E on NCIX for $239 US. With shipping, I paid $251!! :laughing6:

I contemplated waiting a few days to weeks when the price may have inevitably lowered, but this deal includes Quake Wars: Enemy Territory, Hitman: Blood Money, and an nVidia mousepad (which I will use at work)

I looked around. This was the only evga superclocked one I could find. I found an MSI superclocked, but I like the evga stuff I am seeing.

I cannot wait for all my stuff to get here! weeeehhhh! :thumbright:

nice:

"at 680 MHz, we obtain a computational power superior to that of the 8800GTX!"

anyone thinking SLI?

What length is the card end to end? At 11" the 8800 GTX was inconveniently large for my case :(

Ahh See thats why I was suggesting a full tower even though they are large. The high end vid cards are huge

Wow - NCIX has great customer service. This card popped up onto their Canadian site first, so I ordered there for $259. Then, an hour later, I saw an ad on slickdeals and it was showing on the US side (NCIXUS) for $238. I called and they honored a price reduction - and said they would change my order to reflect the new price - as of now they have not, but the guy said it could take a few days to credit, so I hope they keep up their end of the bargain.

Good thing, because as soon as this thing went out of stock, the US side went up to 259 too :cheers:

Edit Update: I love it. I got an updated invoice and my refund already. I hope all my stuff gets in by Friday so I can build this on the weekend. :toothy8: I did notice that the page is now showing more in stock, but the price is up to $289! Glad I woke up at 5 this morning :compress:

Uh any DX10 card with the memory and horsepower needed to play the new games at optimal levels will be long! Get a better case!

[unhappy_meal]

From bits of what I've read it's about 9"... giddeeyap!

I don't buy cards that are longer than me :toothy4:
