Imminent Hot Deal...Now CONFIRMED

from Anandtech forums;

GTS 250 can be SLI'd with 9800 GTX+ -- NVIDIA usually disables SLI with different device IDs, but this is an exception.

If you've got a 9800 GTX+ 512MB you can SLI it with a GTS 250. If you have a 9800 GTX+ 1GB you can SLI it with a GTS 250 1GB. You can't mix memory sizes though.

Also, the 9800 GTX+ and the GTS 250 are completely identical and there is no reason to put two in a system and test them because they are the same card with a different name. At least until NVIDIA's partners release GTS 250s based on the updated board, but even then we don't exepct any performance difference whatsoever.

These numbers were run with a 9800 GTX+ and named GTS 250 to help show the current line up.
So yeah. I guess I'll just keep my 8800gt g92 core for a little while longer. I mean, dont get me wrong. The price cuts are amazing, getting a gfx card that can run 16x12 for ~150 bills is KILLER, but when your old 88gt still preforms on a level of 4850s (once overclocked anyways)...whats the point in 'upgrading'?

Yawn much? The past 18 months has been so underwhelming for graphics cards.
 
Being that cheap it almost makes me want to get one. Too bad my 8800 GT still runs anything I throw at it :)

Just glad I have yet to upgrade from my 8800GT Akimbo!

Yup, same here. It's like I feel I need to upgrade because it has been ages since I got my 8800GT, but there is no point other than change for the sake of change. It's ok by me though.
 
Comeon ati show me some CUDA love for seti. Then ill buy a ATI card.
Thank you
 
I currently own a 8800gt I p/u'ed @ FutureShock for a 109 bucks last summer.
Had an old VF700 laying around that is now cooling the chip. put some memory sinks on it along with the VRM's. Enough said! Damn, cheap ass or what?

Amd's releasing 40nm pretty quick. They're trying to move old product by lowering prices. I feel things are going to get really tight in the next year or two for everyone and AMD is actually looking pretty good.

I could be wrong, but I understand the 40nm are going to be cheap. Really cheap!
 
I bought my HD4870 a week before the price drop before this one; it hasn't even been 3 months since I bought mine and now it drops to $149... FML. :doh:

Oh well, maybe Crossfire time. :biggrin:
