384mb is weak. :(

And these were the 9600GTs or 8800 GTs with something disabled? Or what exactly were these again? I remember reading something like they were rebranded something or nother.

When the 700mb ones start rollin around im sure many will start buying tho :)

They are 8800GS's.

That price is too high. You can get a 8800GT less (Although it only has 256mb). Another $30 More than the GSO and you can get an 8800GT with 512mb.

XFX 8800 GT $129

I agree. I wouldnt get that XFX tho cause the fan only spins one speed and you cant change it.

Sounds like a down clocked 8800GS to me. Oh and don't knock the 384MB, I am using that and it has all kinds of umph. Enough to play Crysis 1400x900 DX10 and be playable.

[Xazax]

You can, it just requires a Bios upate to fix it.

Regardless Dual Slot? 140 bucks, and its the same speeds as EVGA's Superclocked 8800GS which is the same kind(8800GS Single Slot) i got from frys for 100 bucks.

+1 with my 320mb GTS

So are these supposed to be more powerful or less powerful that the GTs? I would look it up, but I'm lazy.

[Xazax]

This would be more powerful compared to "stock" 8800GS's and maybe a bit cooler with the DUAL-SLOT design, but if you compared that card to a 8800GS SUPERCLOCKED the peformance would be exactly the same.

[OzzmanFloyd120]

So it's basically just Nvidia rebranding again?

[Xazax]

Basically the 8800GS didnt get alot of spot light due the 9600GT coming out for only a little more so they need to re-name it to the "newer' 9000 series just so they can say its new gen card, for less then the GT
