I spent $600 on mine about a year ago, maybe a bit more. $40? Sure they work? No artifacts? I can’t see a video card that still shows great performance depreciating that much…
jpod, i’m sure you purchased an optioned out 8600 based card, I bet you have good ram, fans, OC ability, etc. Therefore, you don’t have a run of the mill 8600GT that i’m looking for.
St-timeRRR, BFG 8600GT sells for $99.00 New at Canada Computers. But they don’t have stock. The GTS is a model above what I’m looking for.
The 8600GT/GTS’ are old, if they’re on the shelves it’s old stock.
The 9600GT is the new model selling for $125-200 depending on options.
