MSI 8800GT $208 @ Dell

[Geoff]

Best Buy business 8800GT for $246: http://www.bestbuybusiness.com/bbfb/en/US/adirect/bestbuy?cmd=catProductDetail&showAddButton=true&productID=BB10823345&websrc=CNBB10823345

I don't know if you need a valid business to purchase from them, but it's a good online price for the 8800GT.

Another great not so well known resource!

It's up again!

It was actually posted a page or so back

I don't understand something. Why is this card so cheap? I looked on ebay and newegg and all the 8800gt cards are $300 plus.

I am thinking about ordering one for the new computer I plan to build this winter. When will the prices drop on these cards? Some people say the 11th, is that December or January?

I was going to get the 8800gts but everybody says that this card is a whole lot better.

Newegg and other computer parts retailers often mark up products that have a high demand and low in stock, because they know people will pay pretty much anything for them.

As long as dell doesn't screw me over, its a good deal.. i got a 12/12 est. ship date. But so does all the other 50 people that ordered it the same day as i did

I don't Dell has real-time stock on their site do they?

Ech, that's what I get for not reading the thread. I thought it was sold out, and so I looked and it was up again

I just hope some of those MSI's last in that Dell webpage before this weekend!

same : )

 

[ThatGuy16]

Im thinking about caneling my order and getting a 3870

IF i was to do that, when i upgrade in january i can CF the 3870's on a X38 board

:thinks: ...

 

[Jet]

It isn't worth it. The 3870s don't perform or scale as well. And, they are basically the same price right now.

 

[xxxalpinexxx80]

right now im wishing i had the intel crossfire board and a 3870 : )

 

[ThatGuy16]

True, the 3870 also produces a better image quality. I was wanting a X38 board, and if BestBuy gets the 3870 in stock, it would be $214

 

[xxxalpinexxx80]

just as i refreshed the page it went from 209 or w/e to now 260 : \ radeon for me unless i still with 8800gts

 

[ThatGuy16]

Your right, the MSI one is now $260

The XFX one is still up though

 

[Ramodkk]

GOD! Man! I was about to order today too! I just got some burrowed $$$

Oh well I'll order the XFX still a good deal!

 

[xxxalpinexxx80]

sry for informing the bad news : ( im quite sad my self as i am hoping some one to bu the big fat 8800gts 640mb

 

[Ramodkk]

It's allright Im still getting the XFX for ~$230, not going to waste any more seconds! LOL

Who knows next refresh and it might be at $300 again... (hopefully not!)

 

[xxxalpinexxx80]

ya hurry there gonna put it up prob soon since they did this witthin 1 hour from now to the msi

 

[ThatGuy16]

Glad i got mine in order i just hope Dell doesn't screw me over on shipping lol

After taxes and next day shipping on the MSI i got it for $239. The XFX is still a good deal

 

[Ramodkk]

*sigh* I ordered it! I feel relaxed now (haha jk), XFX one for $235.00

 

[ThatGuy16]

Good deal, now lets me and you both hope it don't take forever to get these things shipped

 

[Ramodkk]

So you bought one too?

Yep! lets hope that, except that I checked my shipping info and it said mine will not come until December 13th ... I hope they are joking!

Anyways, that is just an estimated time, I hope the actual time is a little or should I say a lot sooner!

Now I can officially edit my sig!

 

[ThatGuy16]

I got the MSI, got a est. 12/12... but i hope its sooner not later, because there were a ton of people ordering both XFX and MSI off of dell because of the price

but we will see im not patient
