Also the BFG 8800gt was out of stock at $99. The EVGA 8800GT jumped from $120 to $216 as well. I'm just waiting on the stores to restock them, but they don't know when that will be.
The website says the Victoria location has them in stock, so I guess its a good thing I'm getting mine tomorrow.

Got the 9800GTX+! There were only two left in the store. I got the one that didn't look like it had been dropped.

And it is the SC+ version, and its a massive card!

Besides this was cheaper than anything newegg offers.


Just installing drivers now... I had to remove my internal 120mm fan though, because the card clears my hdd rack by under 1cm...

Just a little indication of the upgrade: TF2 runs at a higher fps on my 9800GTX+ with max settings at 16xQ/16xAF than it did at 0xAA/0xAF on medium with my 3850...

Installing 3dMark06 for further comparison...
