Hahaha this is barely better than my 6600GT, which was only twice the price over three years ago, despite being much closer to the high end at the time, and 110nm as opposed to 65nm. And of all things, it actually has LESS bandwidth than the 6600GT, probably its biggest issue to begin with, because the RAM is even slower! Lots of good all that extra memory does you.

Nvidia and AMD both make lower performance cards from their best cores right? So is the core under this 9400 GT as large as the 9800 GTX?

dual dual-link dvi would be nice on a budget card. i wouldn't mind paying a premium over the base version for this.

edit: and fanless would be nice too :)

If it's not fanless, there's absolutely no point to this card.

another ignorant product, at least from the consumers view. you can already get an 8600gt for even cheaper and its twice as fast as the 9400gt. this card should be no more than $30.
