    I wasn't aware of that.

    Still, 600 dollars for a video card?

    Crazy.

    i love the progression of the name for the "best" card of a series...

    first there was Pro. then came XT, now XT platinum... whats next? XT platinum +1?

    I agree though... its insane..

    back when I bought my Ti4600 when it was the best, it was only $400

    Or you could buy a 9800 and get only slightly worse performance.

    How the XT Plutonium Series. For that price it should project room size 3-D holograms.

    it's because it has DUAL DVI, so you will need either DVI->VGA converters or 2 LCD's w/ DVI.
    the version without dual dvi is a tad cheaper ( albeit not much )

    Dual DVI, so you could run a monitor and a high-def T.V.? That could be sweeeeet!

    I really doubt thats whats making it cost so much.

    If you noticed the reference preview card was dual DVI as well.
