O(V)eGA_l2el) Posted June 8, 2005 Posted June 8, 2005 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16814143028 Will this madness ever end. Honestly, who in their right mind would pay that much for a video card? Let me rephrase that, who has that amount of money to spend on one piece of hardware, lol. If this is considered a rant, I apologize. I am just shocked at the moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jeremy Posted June 8, 2005 Posted June 8, 2005 I don't even spend that much when I build a new comptuter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nagash Posted June 8, 2005 Posted June 8, 2005 I could kind of understand if it actually gave you some sort of tangible performance gain, but the 1-2% on SOME apps just isn't doing it for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byron Posted June 8, 2005 Posted June 8, 2005 I can answer your question... BigRed he has 2x in sli. Plus, any other extreme bencher with the cash will drop teh money for those cards even if it is just 1-2% higher... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cold_snipe Posted June 8, 2005 Posted June 8, 2005 I don't even spend that much when I build a new comptuter 488855[/snapback] well thats just crazy. ^_^ Yeah yeah, waste of money...

Hyper Threaded Posted June 8, 2005 Posted June 8, 2005 You would need to be very bored with your life to think you need one of those.. Even today, a 128mb card is fine for the majority of gamers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
crash Posted June 8, 2005 Posted June 8, 2005 I'd love to have one just for bragging rights! When I get back to work for the winter I will probably buy two, unless there is something better by then Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
asus Posted June 8, 2005 Posted June 8, 2005 it all comes down to how much money do you have to spend.. / waste.. i dont have any to spend or waste so i will stick with my eVga geforce 6800GT Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoNothing Posted June 8, 2005 Posted June 8, 2005 if ou have money to spend then i would get it, but honestly i would never buy it, well, not now atleast with the 70 on the horizion, but being an ATi fan, i would go with a 520 anyways lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
red930 Posted June 8, 2005 Posted June 8, 2005 you might as well just go out and give your money to them. i mean why is it so important to have an extra 256 megs of ram... bragging rights? i mean no one sees it unless you post pics, and no one will care about it in 3 months when the new cards are out. so its just not worth it. there is getting a high end machine that kicks the @$$ out of every one and then there is you spending 3x as much for performance that is just not worth it.

swifty11212 Posted June 8, 2005 Posted June 8, 2005 sigh, screw spending 800 on 1 card, imagine all those ps2 and xbox games you can get. edit: 5 years of WoW also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vampire Posted June 8, 2005 Posted June 8, 2005 Thats insane! I would rather spend more money on the mobo/CPU than waste it on a video card which wont perform all that much better than one half the price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
