another Pimp my ride spoof, except that this is for real get your old pc pimped to the best gaming pc in the universe (http://www.xfxforce.com/web/intl/index.jspa)

I put this in hardware and not in not gaming related for the obvious reason that this IS hardware related :thumbup: but move it if you think it's not appropriate dear admins and mods

hey man how much $$ for that and are u paying in u.s $ or no? I was thinking bout getting that same card, possibly the ASUS 6800GT, not sure yet.....I can get the ASUS 6800GT for $484 canadian..looks like a nice card, I currently have the 9800pro, but i need a little more power, especialy in the video memory department. :bucky!:

I paid 322 but there is a mail in rebate for 30$ so it goes down to 292$.


This is the card I ordered. (http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16814150073) It is currently out of stock as I got the last one, and when it gets back in stock there may not be a 30$ Mail in rebate. If you're looking to overclock it, wait and get the XFX, if you don't care about OCing and you need the card soon, go with the eVGA. Just don't be a brand junkie (spriggan) as they all have the same GPU's ect.


Heh, gatekeeper, that's funny we're both going from 9800pros to 6800GT's. :D
