nVidia said they would release the product 45 days after the April 14th
announce date. That would put it at May 29.

I would guess retailers want to get rid of their existing stock of cards
like the 5950 Ultra before they replace it with something that's the same
price but quite a bit faster. If they start selling 6800s now, they'll be
selling their 5950s at wholesale. Another 7 to 10 days, I would say.

Perhaps they'll scrap the card and move to the 7800 Ultra,

Paper Launch!

When the NV3X was "launched" it took a few months before it showed
it's inefficient head in the shops!

Lets take a look at ati...

.... you can pre-order or...basicly already just order the X800 ...
just one month after the Paper Launch.

Why?

Well, nvidia played tam tam.... kept playing up the market and kept
sweeping up people to wait for their card.

Ati... just as with the R300 .... just kept silent..

So both compagnies just have a slightly different way doing things!

Umm... You can already buy the X800 Pro. Though they are extremely limited
you can find them.

Not really, the only way to get one is to pay
more than MSRP. That doesn't count as
available.

Several online retailers are selling the X800 Pro for $399 and several are
selling it for less; how does $358.70 sound? You really ought to get out
more.

The non-availability of the 6800s has nothing to do
with 5950u, or any other cards.

They (6800/6800gt) aren't available cause the retailers don't have any.
If they did, then they would simply inflate the 6800 price
to something higher than their 5950 to make both sellable.

The retailers don't have any 6800 to sell, easy as that.

Something tells me you've never been in the retail business. LOL

And either do most of the retailers that are selling the X800. They can
pre-sell ATI X800 cards because all models are selling well.

We're talking about pre-ordering here. Pay attention there's going to be an
exam after class.

There are no x800 available at or below MSRP.

The only difference is ATI has products
to sell, nvidia has not. ATI beat nvidia to market.

They would sell their 5950s BELOW wholesale...

Hey... watch Pricewatch for the next 6 months... YOu'll see retailers
still trying to dump the 5950s for $300+ long after the X800/6800s are
out.

Hehe... even when the Ti4200 was selling for $180, there were venders
offering the GF2-Ultras and GF3-500s for $250~300! (both of those
cards were $500).

This thread is about the 6800, try to keep up.
And the x800 IS availble, dummy.

No, we're talking about availability, which has nothing to do
with 'pre-ordering'. Next time, try reading what's IN the thread
before making a fool of yourself.

Wrong again, brainiac. The cheapest is going for $425.86.

So you've performed a comprehensive search of _all_ online retailers (not
just the ones listed at pricewatch and froogle and the like) and determined
that that is the lowest price?

Nope, you just _think_ you can do the same because you haven't found out
that whatever search engine you're using is no more comprehensive than
Froogle or Pricewatch.
