Yeah i can't dish out $300 for a GT. It isn't worth it. But i might do $250 for a 3870...

Don't do either one, the 8800GT was only suppose to cost $200-$250, and the 3870 is only suppose to cost about $200. Heck even when the 3870's came out they were only $220 on Newegg, but I guess since both cards are in limited quantities retailers raised the price.

So I would hold off on spending that much money on one.

Yeah i would but.. have you seen my sig? :p

Right now the 3870 is $250 on newegg and i think the saphire one comes with company of heros, but at $250 its $30 overpriced. They have come down a little because all the 3870's were $270-280 i think. And if i get a x38 motherboard in the future i guess i could do crossfire.. :(

Yeah it better be fine :mad: or else I'll have to ask them for some kind of reward for waiting so long :p

yeah, im thinking the GTS will be ~$400 on release if the GT's are still this hard to get..

I seriously think im getting a 3870, and then when i upgrade ill get a x38 board and hopefully crossfire em'

I have to admit, the HD3870 looks sick!! translucent red cover looks hot!! :D But the deal, slim design and better performance (debatable) took me the 8800GT way :rolleyes:

i just bought the 3870, its only "slower" by about 3-5fps. BUT also has better "eye candy".. but for what i have in mind for the future for me getting a x38 board, this will be the best way to go.
