Do u get that new card in SL? If i had to guess it will be around 45-50k.....

10 months is a long time....on the internet 8800GT is ~230$....so when it comes here ...yeah...30 or 35 or even 37 max......

    BTW its a crappy brand called Inno3D :D Here it is

    Inno3D 8800GTS
    :P :P :P You know dex,A name that youve never heard is not always a crappy brand.If you had an inno3D iChill one(Well,you wont coz they are limited and price..)You can beat the hell of OC with it.And remember with almost all ATI cards,Sapphire make the PCB,many use stock coolers with diff stickers and BIOS,Some add Zalman or AC coolers and sell some like ASUS and Sapphire get their own PCBs sometime.So its almost same across,just the warranty,included accessories and aftermarket service matters.

    who cares about the brand, if it breaks buy a new one which is probably cheaper than brand name ones which are double the price anyway.....although a a good brand like XFX will pull 1 or 2 frames more than a inno3D....For us sri lankans brand is useless.....

    Im pretty sure each individual company vendor makes there own PCB's.

    MSI makes theres, Sapphire makes theres, etc... AMD/ATI is the complete overall owner of the design and card itself though, sapphire and all that are all subvendors.
    (Hint-sapphire tend to have the cheapest cards without downclocking.)

    Actually, Sapphire makes the PCBs for ATI (i.e. "Built by ATI" have Sapphire PCBs)

    Oh really...didn't know that.....
    Not sure if even now they are doing that...but in the days of ATI (not AMD), they did. I believe they still do. They are not making all of them, but most of them are/were built by Sapphire.
