Well its one way to maximize the life expectancy of a product.

I guess it just means people need to really be informed before buying stuff like this

 

[Scooby_Doo]

Wonder if its possible to use the new bios with the old card like they doing.

 

[Ghost02]

Wow 8800 then 9800 now this? How long are they going to try keep this going.

 

[Vixe]

nVidia is just trying to comfort the people who can't afford the GTX 295.

 

[Nictron]

Total marketing gimmick. Same card as the 9800 series, just OC'ed

 

[Ghost02]

It was supposed to be a price drop card but we still getting ripped here in SA

We really had it good about a year ago, PC prices and even software was quite good. Prices have just increased crazy!

Yeah I've seen them do this a few times... I actually wonder how much it helps their market

In this industry , a little goes a long way.
I reckon ATI will take up the lead again after Q2 2009, with their new releases.
I would hold off an upgrade till we see what ATI has in store for us gamers

If you have a 8800GT you basically have a GTS250
