Exsqueeze me? I just paid 400 bucks for a 320meg 8800gts card 3 weeks ago. Seems we're the smart ones. Is that US dollars in the US? If so, ouch: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130071 I picked up this 640MB card months ago for the $389.99 price, with a $30 MIR. Here's an overclocked 320MB version: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130038 Edit: I forgot to mention that I love these new drivers. I was getting so-so performance at best on my SLI GTS setup. These new drivers have given me a remarkable performance increase in SLI. ~1100 3DMark06 increase, a near doubling of performance in the HL2 Lost Coast benchmark, and drastic (but not benched) performance increases in Guild Wars, D&D Online, and Oblivion... all three of which were giving me single-card performance at best in SLI previously.
