High End ATI R680 coming this year

[maverick7]

This is supposed to be a super high end card which should totally beat the 8800ultra to its knees

Yeah I don't believe that. it gives reasonable doubt within the article.

we can only dream lol

At $799, they can dream.

that is most likely fake, however, i do believe the RV670 is comming out this year and that the R680 will just be a dual die RV670, so it is entirely possible

**** news for us in europe.. "Dear Valued Customer,

Thank you for contacting Newegg.

Unfortunately, we currently do not ship orders to Italy. Presently Newegg only serves orders within the United States and Puerto Rico. We cannot make any exceptions under any circumstances because our internal system is not set-up to accommodate international orders at this time. Currently you must have a verifiable billing and shipping address within the U.S. in order for us to serve you. We also only accept orders paid by a credit or debit card issued and drawn from an American bank.

Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.

Sincerely,

Nell Wang"

Who ships to Europe then?? I'm not paying "over" 400$ for my new 8800 GT (or over the odds for anything for that matter..)

If they are planning to sell a high end card for that price then they deserve to go out of business. I mean come on, if they get away with it we will all be paying 800 USD for a new high end card rather than a much more bearable 500-600 USD.

Unless we want to make it so that only the rich can afford decent hardware, i think we should discourage this sort of thing.

If I were you I'd just hang on for a bit longer. I'm in the same boat as you, living in the UK, and get shafted by prices all the time. Just wait a little longer, until the new ATI offering comes out and/or the next nVidia and then the prices should sort themselves out a bit more.

why is it everyone thinks nvidia is just sitting on there ass doing nothing all this time?

Prices are higher here(why the h.e.l.l is this??) What web sites would u recommend to get gear from here in Europe?? I'm based in Sunny Italy! Cheers mate.
