9800GTX Why is this so cheap???

[Waynos_Face]

Hello all,

Was looking around for graphics cards for a new build (already posted about that) and i found this.

Have looked at some reviews and i can't see any noticeable difference between this and cards that are £60 - £80 more.

Does Leadtek have a problem that i'm not aware of???

I would say its just as good as any other GFX card. For the price you can't go wrong.

ATI released a very good range of cards and Nvidia needed to drop their prices significantly to compete. Never a better time to buy a card !

Yeah i understand that nvidia has to drop the prices but was wondering why this one is £117 and other cards in the 9800GTX range go over £200?

With some GFX card you pay for the name, I would say that maybe this might not be as well known as other GFX cards. But I might be wrong.

I'll tell you why - it's because I paid £200.00-ish for my bfg 512mB 9800gtx just a few months ago

Obvious innit?

And I didn't get the promised free T-Shirt or teflon mouse pads either so in future BFG can go stuff themselves.

Right okay cheers guys, was just wondering as i think that is super cheap.
