[trt740]

[Joe Public]

Last I saw was the 17th for the Geforces. Not sure about the hd4870s.

You could try resisting, and wait for a 4850.

I am thinking the same thing yet will the 4870 beat a 9800gtx and will it be chaeper than 259.00

I My self and personally going to opt for dual 4870's

I am trying to get rid of my 3870 but because of funds, i dont know if i am. i offered my 3870 and a duo orb for a xonar d2 (really want a xonar card) but so far he is saying no.

I just got a DA800 PSU from mark :) and yeah, dual 4870's ftw.

anyway...

If i were you i would wait for the new stuff, know you, your going to sell it and buy something else in a month.

@ the very least, wait for the next gen to arrive and force lower prices on the old gen ...

the problem is the month wait, what do I game with for now this x800xt is not gonna cut it. Any idea on when the new geforce cards come out. It between these

resale is a factor and i think ther BFG card will meet that the best. It seems the 3870 cards have bad resale.

It was supposed to be earlier then the ATI cards, but i don't really know :(

both of the ECS cards are the best deal, but for some reason I like the BFXXkingGUN

You interested in a HD3850 512mb?

[trt740]

nope , but thx erocker.

[trt740]

nope , but thx erocker.

As much as my hearts says go for the 8800gts for 159.00 I'm gonna go for the BFG. Is it worth the 100.00 difference to get a better cooler, faster ram and a lifetime warranty? not sure. The ECS 9800gtx is 30.00 less and has a one year warranty.

[calvary1980]

ATI HD 4850 and 4870 (small quantities) will be released on June 23rd, it was the 18th but today they announced it was pushed back.

for nVidia it could be a minimum of 2 weeks after ATI maybe a month.

based on nvidia's charts they're setting the 9800gtx as a midrange underneath the gtx260 so expect it's prices to drop.

[erocker]

Those HD3870's are still at BestBuy for $129 bucks.. I'd buy cheap as possible, or just stay with the X800 for a couple more weeks.

[ThatGuy16]

I sold one of my 3870's, so im on a single one right now. I'm hoping to grab a 4870 (hoping they are as good as they say they are!)
