This card is available as a special pre-order. It will begin shipping on 3/4/2002. Please disregard the "usually ships in 5-7 days" message in the shopping cart for this item.
HAHA, I bet the 129.99 is just a downpayment and they have plenty of time to say it was an error and change the price
I agree, the new Ti cards are huge, truely a manly video card
I'm reading the review at
nvnews and the performance increase over the Ti500 is, uhm, quite impressive.
ATI, eat your heart out
... at least until R300 shows up.
I don't think you really need that card with todays games unless you need very high res with FSAA and high detail. My Ti200 should do fine for the near future.
On the other hand, how long will we have to wait for compelling games that make use of shader features? While Unreal II is right around the corner, the developers realize that high-end graphics cards are still in the minority.
First entry on pricewatch for a Ti4600 is $399 ... ask yourself if bragging rights are worth it
EDIT: I know that prices will change since the Ti cards won't ship until sometime in march. The Ti4400 at $299 (other PNY @ pricewatch) should replace the Ti500 while the Ti4600 will be the new "performance king of the hill".
EDIT2 (06:25pm EST): ROFL, the BB price is now at $399, there was prolly a major alarm ringing when they instantly got hundreds of orders per hour :;
