I was hoping to buy a 8800gt or a 8800gts 512mb for around 300-350 or so, but the canadian pricing is just too much. At Ncix, the Evga 8800gts 512mb is near 403 which seems a bit too much, and the other brands are simliar or more expensive than that. Is there any other places like Ncix in Vancouver or if theres a simliar card but cheaper, can anyone suggest one? Thanks for the help people :D

Hmm, after looking at AnadTech 8800gt vs 8800gts, it seems that there isnt much difference from the gt to the gts except in couple frames. I was first planning to get a evga 8800gt akimbo edition from ncix when it comes out, but the 8800gts 512mb oced can perform much better from what I heard. I could just go for an 8800gt, but any idea when the akimbo edition might be back in stock?

Funny thing, I bought that and it has no labels on the actual card. Likewise, it's OEM though
