The rumors are true. I was at Microcenter yeaterday, and they were in stock and ready for purchase.
Benchmark Reviews has posted their test results of the Zotac 9800 GTX over here: http://benchmarkreviews.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=154&Itemid=1
Fake, because Best Buy would charge at least $600.
Yeah, you can even by them from Amazon at this point.
got my 9600gt a few weeks before it came out? and the fact that this is remotely close to what they'd sell it for online is amazing. I returned my 9600 and have $240 worth of BB gift cards. and comparatively this thing is over clocked awesomely w.o breaking a warranty. but...id have to be stupid to say that "it's the bang for the buck." a 9600 and this? there needs to be a middle card...might end up buying a 3870 and skimming out until radeons 4k series comes out. because thats worth waiting for instead of c92 chips. looking forward to it being like ati's 1k series and nvideas's 7 series. my radeon x1950 still blows me away. =]
