wow those cards are expensive. i was pissed i paid 355 for my card:eek: .

mod can you post a review on these products rather then just post the product and specs? it actually would be better to see some scores and stuff because i for one would rather see how they perform in real life and compare them with others scores. :thumbs:

ps also if you have some pics of the product would be great to see the layout.

Not true. Newegg.com kicks ass and probably does 2 million a week. Their reviews are feedback from actual customers who bought the product and most of the time enough customers actually go and write a review or at the very least rate it. I have spent over $5000 with them alone this year and was satisfied with every single order, some which I based on the reviews alone.
