can someone confirm the priciing for the3870 please? according to online prices its supposed to be usd 220 which calculates to rm734. how come all the people are selling it for over 900, even 1k?? are things gonna change soon or what?

actually its not ATI that is pricing the products like that. if you look at the price on newegg its only usd219 for the 3870. like some other forummers mentioned earlier, i think they're jacking up the price cuz the demand for it is high since the supply for the 8800gt is currently low, and also to clear the stock of the 2900s. when the 8600GTS first came out the price was super high too despite nvidia saying it was gonna b much lower.
patience my friends! patience!

guys, this whole IQ thing between the ati and nvidia is getting too much. seriously. i think plenty of links have been posted and opinions given. let people make their own judgements please?!?? lets move on! this thread is about the 3870 and 3850. what we really need now are ppl with these cards showing us what both cards are really made of!!

on a side note, i took some benchmarks from tomshardware and anandtech and made a scoop of the cards on my site (see sig below). didnt take all the benchmarks just the newer games and added my own input. feel free to leave your own comments

i know! all i'm saying is there has been quite elaborate discussion on it to the point that its already straying from the topic. ppl are quoting others over and over and "i told you so" attitude. i didnt check this thread since yesterday and till now i found like only a few posts that are useful in considering whether or not to buy either the 3850 and 3870. other than that its flaming more or less..

but yes ppl are entitled to their views
anyways, any updates on the cheapest price for both cards either in bulk or @ lowyat?
