238 bucks?? Wow, considering early reports put this card well behind a GT which is just a few bucks more. I think they are just trying to get rid of a surpluss of some older chips.

If the 680mb was selling for $180-$200 i would buy it. But considering the performance leap with the 8800 GT (i'm assuming here... its easy to).. There's no way i would pay more, knowing i got a slower card.

There are too many 8800's.... I've been looking for reasons to look elsewhere from the 8800 GT 512 i'll be buying, but this still isn't one.

It would be good if there was a comparison between this card and the 8800gt 256mb, seems like a good buy.
