R600 drops under €100

jmke · 27th February 2008, 22:27

A German retailer is dumping HD2900GT cards for a mere €93. The GT is a crippled card with 256MB of memory, a 256-bit memory bus and 240 stream processors.

However, the price is so obscenely low that many consumers might be ready to forget its shortcomings. If you're in the market for a sub €100 card, it doesn't get much better than this. Many 8600GT and HD2600XT cards still retail for about 80-90 euro and this baby should have more than enough muscle to wipe the floor with them.

Newegg lists the HIS 2900GT for $105 AMIR as well. Interesting thought, should easily outperform 2600XT/3650 and Nvidia 8600GTS cards?
