Reading the title, I bet half of you thought its spam:p

anyway, look at what I found !
*www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8762234&type=product&id=1203815034383

these guys are selling ATI Radeon HD3870 512MB OverClocked at 130$. I wonder if anyone here has access to it. Its surely a steal.

Its as cheap as HD6550 is in India:D

Ati cards are dirt cheap abroad. But in India they comes for high prices.

@MetalheadGautham
just wait one month or less, until HD 4xxx gets released nd u can expect older 3870 to be sub 100$ card.

this is nothing.

I found out that in some benchmarks, HD4870(single) beats 9800GX2 by 30% without effort

@ssk_the_gr8
wat??
the older 1950XTX killed 7900GT and 7950GT. and 7950GX2 got unstable even at stock speeds.nd insanely overpriced.
And then HD 3870 X2 killed 8800GTX/Ultra/GTS 512 and 8800GT SLI.
nd u say nvidia didnt had ny compatition !!! wake up man
ATI is much ahead of nvidia in cutting edge technology., nd HD 4870 is just a proof[DX 10.1, GDDR5, 480 hader units, 55nm etc]

i agree man but this has only happened recently.. in 2007 ATi havent been competitive(hd 2000 series) thats all.. My bad i didnt put my point across properly.
Dont become so aggressive dude :D
nvidia
nvidia #17

+1 @dominator..
nvidia is facing good competition. In the hardware market, its Intel who isn't facing any proper competition..
ATi rocks... And 130$ is a killer price for that card... Wish i had the cash to buy one... :|:(
Neone wants to buy my electric stove for 130$? :p :D

Yeah, whatever warranty mentioned on the site.. but you'll have to ship back the card to me if warranty becomes a case.
