Stupid NVidia, 8800GT 512

[Mr. LL]

They just pushed my order back to the first week of January.

If it ever comes in I am paying $250 for it, does anyone know where I can get the 8800GT for around $250 that is actually in stock?

Why does this happen when they have new cards come out? How frustrating.

try
NCIX.com - Canada's Premier Computer Store - Great Technology, Service and Selection.

no evga, but had 4 XFX in stock this morning...3 now since i ordered one....

 

[Mr. LL]

Is there much difference between the XFX and a Galaxy card?

Galaxy GeForce 8800GT 600MHZ 512MB 1.8GHZ DDR3 PCI-E DVI-I HDCP HDTV Out OEM Video Card

I have the galaxy one. It works great...overlcocks well too...i would personally get that one.

 

[Mr. LL]

Now stupid Amazon won't let me cancel the order

um...shouldn't they all cool the same?
or do they have different heatsinks?

 

[ricanflow]

The xfx version has a bigger fan than standard specs, so it should run cooler and quieter.

The Galaxy has a different sort of heatsink that actually looks quite cool, and they got a blue pcb which I like, here's a pic:
