Anyone have any idea where the Non-PRO 9700 cards are?
They were reviewed on THG a few weeks go but there is asolutely no sign of em anywhere on the retail market.
U think we will see these this side of Christmas?

Will be curious to see how much they retail for, as the RRP is $299 but you can get a PRO for about $320 online these days...

Regards,

It will come out soon. I believe ATI won't let it that it comes out in 2003. The R9700 Pro is still at a 399 MSRP. Street prices are 320 and up. Most big time companies though have it lower than the MSRP at around 350 (amazon.com). expect 50 or more dollars off for street prices.

I'm getting an AIW 9700 Pro for 399 but it's MSRP is 449.
