Value = Performance per doller.
Both cards you mention are about 2-3 times as expensive as the 8500GT which the topic starter was looking at.
Sure they'll have better performance, but I don't think Hotdeal has the money to buy one of the higher end cards.
Why would he be looking at the 8500GT if he could afford an 8800GT or 9600GT?
