They first need to take all RMT ISK away, so cards go to real players. Lol

CCP. I ask you one question, do we really need graphic cards? Can we not be sustained by mere audio and thought?

My Jita alt has 10 bil ISK earned ingame. If I just had computer where to put it, I would definitely get one. (But that does not fit into my laptop. Sad)

I might still get one, just so I can take part in legal RMT. Cool

ps. And I'd really like CCP to add "PS3 for PLEX" offer - for all those who don't have PS3 yet. Big smile

You'd better have enough cards, I'll be really mad if you brokered some lol-small deal that doesn't even warrant the adds (and free Nvidia advertising).

Excellence is not a skill, it's an attitude.

At fanfest they said 100 cards first.

Funny time for this since nVidia is just beginning to release its next generation of GTX PCI-E Gen 3 GPUs.

The 560 gtx is a great card by no means top of the line and with the new release of the 680 GTX cards the price is going to be dropping over the next few months which is probably why nVidia agreed to this deal.

Also depending on the manufacturer the card should be priced between $180 - $210 currently. The actual GPU manufacturer will tell whether these cards will be worthwhile or not.
It could be $270 like this GPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130683

Or $180 like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121446

IDK sorry CCP but I'd still rather buy through a company like Newegg or even Amazon with a return policy, warantee, mail-in rebates, etc unless its being sold for a REALLY good deal. But once the details are out I guess we'll see.

And most likely pay VAT on 350$ when customs tries to figure out the price for the frikken thing.
