128 mb you mean. The 256 mb hasn't shipped yet AFAIK

I will never understand why someone would spend that much coin on something that offers a marginal performance increase over what's currently available for 1/2 the price. No way.

I may consider it if it was actually a lot faster than the 9700 pro.... and if it was a 256MB AIW 9800 pro ...

 

[newbiepcuser]

I would buy a whole new machine from Dell for that much.

 

[sandorski]

Maybe a monitor, but not a video card.

 

[zephyrprime]

No. Are there even any games that load 256MB of textures?

 

[PliotronX]

Only if it came with a check for $300.

 

[Whitecloak]

never

Good question. The answer is if the $500 converted to £315 appx then the answer would be yes, without a doubt. However, as we all know what is $500 in the states is likely to be £500 in the UK. If that was the case, then hell would have to freeze over b4 I spent that king of money!

 

[tjdavis1138]

No way. $250 is my limit on video cards.

 

[rbV5]

For the AIW version maybe.

 

[nycdude]

Heck no!!!!!!!!!!

The most I paid for a vid card was $179 when the Voodoo2 came out. Since then I have been a card cycle behind. Besides my comp is not all the mighty.

I paid $350ish for my 9700 Pro (USD) and that's about my limit.. actually i am surprised I went even that high. $500? no.

 

[Wurrmm]

I only upgade my GPU every other product group. And considering I only have a TI500, a 9800 pro 256/FX5900 Ultra will not be too big a purchase.

 

[murphy55d]

Not a chance.

Would you pay $500 for a Radeon 9800 Pro 256MB?

Hell, yeah,...














... but only if someone pays me $500+...

 

[Swanny]

The most I would spend is $400.

Really, the title of this poll should be:

Would you pay $500 for a video card?

 

[EeyoreX]

No.
