$600.00 Doom Game?

[Wildman]

I cut this from the MacGamer.com site:

The demonstration highlighted the new effects enabled by NVIDIA's latest graphics chip, the GeForce3, which was officially unveiled during the show. It's expected to ship in March as a $350 build-to-order option and in April as a $600 stand-alone product.

Notice it says that the stand-alone porduct is going to be 600.00 (US I assume). Since the Doom game is being written against this platform, I hope the price drops before the game ships. I am already prepared to upgrade my video card, but I won't at this price. No game is worth that.

That won't happen unless there's competition. The GF2s are only now dropping to semi-reasonable price levels. :/

The only good news is that one OEM for the GF3 will be pricing at $500, which suggests the price war for the GF3 might start sooner than it would otherwise do, but even that number is way way overpriced IMHO.

Well, let us hope Doom won't be the only game for this card ;)

Nice to see you Rick :)

Rick: I am sure that by the time Doom3 hits shelves, these cards will be in bargain bins for $149 or lower.
