Cheap Fast Video cards on the way!!!

SUBMAN1 · 03-19-08, 09:26 AM

ATI has annouced they are dropping the price of the 3870's 512 MB to $150!!!!!

I think a crossfire setup is in my near future! A couple of those in crossfire is going to be as fast, and much cheaper (about 1/3rd or more) than a GX2 or an X2 dual GPU card - and still have the same power draw.

Do you have a link or anything?

If Amazon vendors drop the price too we should all order through SubSim's store and get Neal some $$$$

That is the expected retail pricing - which means street pricing should be about what? $135 to $140?

Here is the link I read this morning. This price drop won't happen till the end of the week - http://www.theinquirer.net/gb/inquir...ices-3850-3870
