didn't you get the memo? pc gaming is dead
IT'S OVER 9000!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm sorry. I couldn't help myself.
Haha funny you metioned that, I installed Ubuntu 8.04 just the other night....
ive heard the 3870 is better and cheaper
Funny coming from Linuxguy
The 9800gtx+ uses a smaller die. Im not sure exactly what that means (something to do with processor size i think) but it does mean that it can go faster, and is cheaper to produce.
Theres nothing wrong with this card. They just wanted something to compete with the radeon 4850 in a similar price range.
if I were you I'd get the Radeon HD 4850
more powerful and at a very good price
Linuxguy is right for nz people. http://pricespy.co.nz/ is the place to go to check out prices for stuff. Id recommend buying off someone in your area though, so you can go pick up.
The 4850 is cheaper and performs roughly the same, but perhaps most importantly - you can get one now :P.
