I saw these on Mysterybytes website today. After looking at the reviews it looks like a good deal for the price.

Anyone getting one? If I didn't just get my 8800GT 2 months ago I would probably grab one up.

Just checked a review of it myself and it looks like a pretty good deal. Similar speeds to the HD 3870, slightly better cooling at the cost of a slighting louder fan (which means they are probably pretty similar in that respect) ever so slightly less power usage on load, and priced slightly lower.

Today's word of the day is slightly. ;)

I'm considering getting one, when I get some money. I could use an upgrade, though, I don't really need it.

looking around there still pretty over priced becuase of how new and the short supply. at the current price the 3870 makes more sense to me but if it hits its intended price point of $169-189 then it would be a steal.

Why?the 8800gt blows this card away the 9600gt's are meant as a 8600gt replacement.

I got the 8800GT as a Christmas gift. We didn't really have the money for it so it would be easier to afford the 9600. Now don't get me wrong, I like my card. I realllllllllly like my card.
