    Also only a DX10 board. Might be worth it to wait at this point for the DX11 parts to come into your price point. I jumped a few moths ago at the 4870 series and love the board-great performance/cost ratio.

    Old? How does that negate price/performance?

    it doesn't but doesn't change the fact it is old. (in terms of the video card world where a newer product is always coming out.)

    Old Now / Priced High! It came out in April!
    It's 250GTS and Core-216's that are price high! Your old and High!

    What are old? Hmm, lets see GT 210 / 220 (just released this month and are irrelevant overpriced still-birth), 250GTS (easily the 3rd rename since the original 8800GTS), and the 9800GT please! Those are all re-named re-badge chips (no real change in architecture) that most started life in end of 2006/2007. That makes them ancient in VGA time-line (it's now 2010), so please stop making yourself look like a ATI fanboi.

    I'm might sound like an ATI proponent, I'm not! I am Nvidia owner and one that loves what they do when they do/did it (right), but they haven't given me much to keep the faith (3D glass OMG! who wants to invest in a special monitor and wear 50's paper glasses).
    They better make a "big cost effective win" and soon or I'm going Hemlock on them next year. Confused
