*Also, www.clubit.com has a lot of them at different prices, you might want to search there as well.
anyone have anymore links or did i get them all...lol ?
those really arent much of a deal vs an 8800GTS. 8800GT should be 179 dammit
The big etailers are doing their typical markup I see. $400 at ZZF! lol
add Fry's to the list:
EVGA GeForce 8800GT Video Card $229
http://shop3.outpost.com/product/5434329
BFG GeForce 8800GT OC Video Card $239

yeah i noticed after i posted, the shop3.outpost url threw me off.
there's a bunch of them on Clubit if you want to add them. all out of stock at the moment, but their prices are significantly better than most other places.
good job, man. do you think there will be deals on this for black friday or something? I can stand to wait another month I guess.
I noticed evga has a special edition card clocked at 700/2000 with msrp 289.99. Have not spotted this card on line yet.

i'm most definitely waiting for this version for either evga or xfx.
I just wish that SSC had a dual slot cooler. I'm concerned with just how loud these suckers can get and would like to see a bunch of retail cards compared. I've seen the MSI being super loud in one review, and another card not bad in another review. They look to all have the refernece cooler though.
http://www.dabs.com/productlist.as [...] PageMode=1
Prices from £171-£182 ($342-$364) That does include VAT but that's insanely expensive compared to the US prices even considering that.
Ebuyer are cheaper but still a bit more than I was hoping
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/134393 - Inno3d £155
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/134731 - Zotac £160
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/134966 - MSI - £161
Check the zotec AMP on there, £10 more for the most over clocked card available, nice card too!
Its clocked as high as the highest EVGA one btw.
tigerdirect.ca is seeling them for $340 ca! Ridicules
http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applicat [...] =P450-8812
For Canadians take a look at ncix.com they have the evaga oced version and pny xlr8 for $260
$340 one of the lowest prices here in UK, consider yourelseves lucky!
You guys should try the Sparkle 8800gt passive cooled addition. Sparkle cards are usually high quailty and OCed well.
It looks really nice.
This one is not OCed though.
http://www.fudzilla.com/index.php? [...] 2&Itemid=1
Wow would that be $340 us or $340 euro?
I just notices the Prices are going up! on these video cards...the one i bought for $250 is $290 now!
| shadowmaster625 wrote : those really arent much of a deal vs an 8800GTS. 8800GT should be 179 dammit |
All the benchmarks I've seen are whooping on the 8800GTS so for ~$250 I'd say thats a pretty damn good deal.
| qmalik wrote : I just notices the Prices are going up! on these video cards...the one i bought for $250 is $290 now! |
supply and demand. These things are selling like hotcakes to all the people with 7900s and 1950s who've been holding out for a cheap midrange card (not that the performance of these could fairly be called midrange)
so i was going to buy yesterday just as they had come out but decided to wait as i couldnt decide on the case i wanted(new system build). Well i wish i could kick myself in the nuts right now cos they sold out
. Any1 know how long it could take before we see the next batch?
I just checked your links and they are all out of stock except the PNY from Tiger Direct. This first batch was in Short supply.
With the current price gouging going on, I will stick with my 7800gtx. No way I pay above msrp for a video card. I know it is basic economics of supply vs demand. I will wait for the initial frenzy to cool down.
yeah it's worth waiting, especially with the 38XX series due to be formally revealed any day now and in the shops in 2 weeks
If you want, you could create a list by country.
Also, you could modify your initial list so no need to read the whole thread to find them! Good job!
I will be looking this christmas to replace my older ATI AIW X1900.

these cards need 6pin or 8pin power connectors from psu?
Whats rebate? like VAT?
rebate is where you can get money back by filling out a special form and mailing it back to the company. It takes a while but you basically get money back.

Sometimes you put a wrong letter in the reply in the wrong spot and they don't give you your $ back, but 99% of the time if you fill out the paperwork 100% correct you'll get your $ back within 8-10 weeks or so
| amddiesel wrote : these cards need 6pin or 8pin power connectors from psu? |
I believe some of the ads I read stated that they need 6-pin power connectors.
NCIX.com has the evga superclocked for us Canadians, eh.
| amddiesel wrote : these cards need 6pin or 8pin power connectors from psu? |
You can see in the Newegg pictures it needs 1 6pin connector
| paesan wrote : I will wait for the initial frenzy to cool down. |
Always a good plan. Also by waiting you'll be able to find out from the early adopters if there are any "warts" in the drivers or hardware for different combinations of games you might be interested in.
Im really not at all unhappy with 7900GS performance on 1680x1050 widescreen that I need to jump in right away.
PNY http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6814133205
evga KO version (i ordered on 5 min ago)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6814130301
xfx
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6814150252
This sucks, I sat around all day trying to find this thing when it was released and by the time I found it on sites..... sold out. Now i wait who knows how long for the eVGA 8800GT SSC to restock and start selling (hopefully not missing the sell out again)
Any updates?
