Get them while they are hot! Bestbuy is very good at updating their page info to tell you if a product is on backorder or is sold out so they clearly have them, this just poped up today...

I canceled my 8800GT and just ordered 2 of these things :)

Now I won't have to worry about sending the mobo I ordered back for an SLI one :)

thesimpsons2

Two of them in Crossfire? Way, way, way better :)

Let me lay out the rankings for you

8800GTX SLI > 3870 Crossfire > 8800GT SLI >>>>>>>> 8800GTX > 8800GT > 3870

Basically if your only buying one card get a 8800GT, but if your buying two go for the 3870 the GTX with it's outragous price is essentially out of the picture now.

Crossfire makes up for the difference in performance between 8800GT and 3870?

Any benchmarks to prove this?

Nvidia is having some problems producing the G92 chips and the demand is high, so prices increase.

Nvidia is having some problems producing the G92 chips and the demand is high, so prices increase.

It's rumored from companies that sell both ATI and Nvidia cards that ATI is expected to ship 8x as many of their new cards.

The 8800GT's first run was 50k

ATI is said to be on track to ship over half a million just of the 3850/3870s before year end :O

Shame on newegg, they got some 3870s in stock and jacked the price to 270 bucks and of course people will pay it.

Glad I could help :) I'm a bit surprised they aren't sold out yet as newegg sold all the ones they got today and they were selling them for a greedy 270 then again if I were looking for a video card bestbuy.com would be one of the last places I looked so it's probably just that most people don't know about it.

Ya, on top of that bestbuy.com is one of those places that usually overcharges as it is, your steam name isn't Blaze by the way is it?

When are these new cards coming out in Canada? Also does the HD 3870 consume less power than the 8800GT?

Ordering my 2 in mid December and my 3rd in February. Hoping Catalyst 8.1 will be out. I think that Catalyst will fix alot of issues, since 7.11 didnt and 7.12 will do a little helping too.

If you order the VisionTek off ncix.com for Canadians..for $20 more you can get Call of Juarez and a Orange Box coupon.
