Newegg used to be cool

until they gave in and raised the price for the 3870s!

i hope they drop by christmas. if they raised it just for christmas profit...well that would just suck, on so many levels.

this almost makes me want the 8800gt, but according to GPUreview, the 3870 has the better stats so i guess ill just wait until it drops back down.

except the 8800gt performs better than the 3870 in most test because of better architecture, on paper all the ati cards look better than their nvidia counterparts but they dont end up performing better.

that being said, the 3870 is an excellent deal for its performance, but now that it has gone up not so much anymore, plus if it hits gt prices you can forget it all together
