For - also heats your house in winter

Against - not required for any existing game, looks like a betamax tape
and will be forgotten in a year. Also heats your house in summer..

Completely pointless - cant see OC UK shifting many of those...

Er, where do you see a dual GPU GTX295 with 4GB of Ram and 1024-bit
memory being sold for $510 at newegg?

I've ordered two as they're limited edition so bound to go up in value
-- I'll store them next to my limited edition plates and statues of The
People's Princess Lady Diana. She was killed by M15 and the royal
fugging family in case you don't fugging know.

Yea, I thought so. Game over, thanks for playing.

And next time you have a thought?.. Let it go.

Average price $529 = �327.

However, this is not the limited edition ASUS GTX 295 MARS edition. I
can't see it on sale in the US - but I have seen a number of US
customers looking at the card on Scan and converting �1k to and
approximate price of $1700.

So not $500 at NewEgg then...

No doubt, but Gothic 3 stutters with two of those cards in SLI ;-)

That will be my next card unless there's something better when I build
my next system. Ooohhh I'm looking forward to that!

I'm really loving all the latest hardware and games. Games are so
great nowadays.
