Yes, it has arrived, the Ge-Force 8 series is here. The first Dx10 card on the market. The most powerful card available. I wish I had the money for one of these.What do you guys think of them?

yay a graphics card that costs more than many computers! im sure its crap awesome insane etc but i cannot fathom paying almost SEVEN HUNDRED DOLLARS for a graphics card! i paid 130 for mine(radeon x1600pro iceQ 512mb) and it shall serve me for a good long time until i can invest money in a real good gaming PC, probably several years from now

Nice price tag. I believe I will keep my 7800GTX for a bit more. ^_^

I won't get for the sane reason I won't get the PS3. Graphics will never be be worth that much to me. Ever. Period. Unless they had a majikal gameplay-improving card, I can't say I'm interested...

and I still have an AGP slot and a generic version of a 6800 on my computer...

but I bet this thing will be part of the minumum requirements for the next version of windows!
