3870's are sold out almost everywhere in the US (retailer websites), and the price is between $215 (Best Buy, sold out) and $260. The 8800's seem to be more expensive, but don't quote me on that.

Yeah the 8800GT does kick the 3870 hard for only 10% higher cost.

3870 512MB - £160
8800GT 512MB - £175

According the review I read on www.tomshardware.co.uk the 8800GT is a better performer in almost all games they tried.

In terms of power and noise, it looks like there is little difference in power but ATI are using a noisier fan. It just gets worse doesn't it.

Now if NVidia can get some 8800GT cards to the shops then I might be able to buy one!

Cheaper than the current price for a 8800GT at £135 verses £150 to £180

It doesn't matter what AMD does since prices around 200 euros won't be competitive enough against 8800 GT. I don't know what others are thinking but seeing from the reviews Nvidia kicks ATI's butt quite hard so 8800GT is clearly the winner of this fight.

Yea, az, you're right... Too bad you can't get a single 8800GT! Let alone two of them. With 3870 it's a different issue. So, performance isn't always everything!

Newegg has just sold out on the HD3870s thought I got one at NCIXUS.
I just saw the 8800GT's are now available on Best Buy and CompUSA...
