I just came across this slickdeal:
GeForce 8800 GTX 768 MB DDR3 PCI Express Graphics Card – $534.73 after discount+tax
&
GeForce 8800 GTS 640 MB DDR3 PCI Express Graphics Card – $381.73 after discount+tax - Cheapest on PriceGrabber is $638.
while I’m definitely not in the market for this it still has quite a high wowzerz-factor effect on me. I’m quite content with my newly built budget-o non-corporate branded computer parts purchased for the price of the cheaper card above and built by me - oh the glee!
still, tis amazering to witness how powerful these things are becoming. guesstimation: a 1GB RAM “mainstream budget” graphics card will be ~$200 in 2 years(!)
