    fx5900 prices dropping like crazy?

    Is that true or not, I notice people are selling their 128mb non ultras for like $200 and the 256mb ultras for $250-300!!!!!!!! has the fact they suck in dx9 got around to them? are they jumping ship and swimming to ati? I even saw posts where people offered their fx5900u 256mb for a 9800 pro or even non pro!!!!!!!!!!

    i think it's just that ATI is outselling nVidia and they're looking for a way to get back some sales and make room for the 5950.

    yeah, i noticed htat ultras are goin for way cheap too. it's cuz they were over rated, over hyped, and not as good as the 9800 pros. now they're in low demand. ati is really taking it to nvidia, they better come up with something or it's gonna be a long 4th quarter for nvidia.
