hwy are the 7800GTXs so cheap?

[Pirate_Freder]

there are 256mb 6800 ultras for the same price as 256mb 7800GTXs, some ultras even cost more!!! and their not oc'd either. so whats up with this? i want to get a 7800GTX when I upgrade to 64-bit but now this has aroused suspiscion.

i think they just want to slam ati in the face for not being ready
and they dont want to lose more money by selling ultras cheaper

[crimedog]

the price drops just haven't come into effect yet (for retail) ultras have been selling for ~$350 in classifieds. imagine you have an inventory of cards you're used to selling for $500 and now you have to lower the price to $400 or less, i doubt you'd jump on that.

Most of the 6800GT Ultras with 512MB are around $700 a piece.

Only like 1 or 2 6800GT Ultras with 256MB are on par with the 7800GTX.

But don't look are the prices like that, if your willing to spend about $500 on a video card, the 7800GTXs will benchmark and run better then the Ultras.

Ep... because there is 512 MB... DDR3 is very expensive now :)

I'm afraid I've never felt the 7800GTX's are "too cheap". ;(
