**nekrosoft13** · 07-04-08, 12:08 PM

anyone know if tiger direct would price match?

i bought the card on 6/22 for full price, would be nice to somehow return/price match it at the store.

Still too expensive if you'd ask me.

I can't find a gtx 260 Crysis benchmark on high. Anyone know where I can find one?

I think Best Buy does the price matching thing. Just show them ZZF's add for the GTX200'
s and I'm sure they'll drop the price.

8800GTX's are $269 and 88U's are still $519+. That's too expensive for a 2 year old card that's technologically aged. Still too expensive for a freshly released card? I was thinking about getting an 8800GTX until I saw this thread.

Thats the worst part, ever since the 4850/4870 came out the value of my 8800gts 512 dropped in half, its a $99 card now

But this time im going to hang on to it for a while, grid plays nice at 1920res with 4xAA so theres no need for me to upgrade yet, crysis... screw it.

Ok, forget it. I'm just going to take the plunge and buy the MSI GTX 260. This deal can't be beat. I really wanted an EVGA card, too to have an all-EVGA rig. I guess I'm going to have an all-MSI rig now..

Figures I buy a 4870 this week not thinking the 260 or 280 would be this low this fast. I don't think Nvidia anticipated the price/performance for the new ATI cards. Oh well no big deal since I like the card.

GTX260 and GTX280 are about right now. Like last economy crysis back in 20s.

I would not be suprised they do something like that again...

You've been watching too much Zeitgeist me thinks...

Nice to see that they've dropped their prices! Might go with a gtx 280 after all(unless of course the 4870x2 spanks it real hard)!
