just seen an article on xbitlabs of a graphics card costing a whooping $1000 articl here

a little expensive! what is your opinion on the article.

Yeah, just a little. Sounds like they are charging about $300-$400 just for a watercooling kit, now that is just about crazy.

i would never pay that much for a g/c with or without watercooling no mater how much you could o/c it.

and ppl called me crazy for spending £400 on my card!!!!!!!!

nice ..... costs too much, the losses alone in 6 months on this card would purchase a top of the range at that time.

**MIG-31** · Sep 11, 2003, 07:31 AM

not to mention a good amount of cash to wards a new system asswell!!!

well my point was that reselling this card in say 6 months........ you would be lucky to get half the initial cost. I guess buying something like a 9600 pro is the best all round option, certainly the best value for money. Im still amazed just how good the 9600 pro is. My kid brother has one and his is sitting at 500 core stable. fantastic.

funny thing is....you could buy a 9700 Pro for $200 and I bet you'd still get better benchies in HL2 :P

i know what your point was.mine were before the purchase of that card for $1000.

and yes the 9600pro is an exellent card for £139 including next day delivery.

i might try mine at 500core then see how things go.
