Yeah, cheapest I have seen it advertised in Canada is $419. Add tax and you
can kiss $500 bucks goodbye. GF2's range from $475 to $550 plus tax!!! To
compare, my V3 cost me $269 the week it was released! This round of cards
are rediculous in price. Hopefully V5/GF/GF2 will start some price wars
soon. And I hope ATI gets something out the door soon as well. Not that I
care about buying it, but just to see more competition ;-)

>V5 should definitely be a reasonably nice card.

You need some sleep! You almost said something nice about 3dfx ;-)
