why spend all that money when an 8800gtx will get you almost similar results? I don't know, i still don't undestand why you would need to buy a gtx right now, but to each his own i guess. And you know as soon as these come out someones gonna have 2 running in sli, probably with either one of the core2quads, or the new AMD processors, and they'll just destroy the 3d mark record.
