SPITTTOOOOOIIIEEE!!!!


Holy price gouging batman! That is pricey! I was looking at the GT because that looks like it has great promise for OCing, but wow. At the price of a x800xt Pe, I think I'm going to the switch to ATI.

$500 is a actually a pretty good price at launch for a 6800 Ultra, considering ATI cards have been just as expensive at launch.

I am thrilled to see that nvidia board partners are building the GT with dual DVI, a big plus imo. The prices will be down real fast so I'm not worried, I have no clue why anyone would want to preorder though when they can just buy it when it hits the stores for cheaper and still get it the same time.

I will pay whatever it takes to have the fastest Nvidia card for Doom 3, I'm not going to skimp out, even if the same card will cost me half the price in a few months..doom 3 deserves the very best.

Use your head

Come on, when the x800 pro was out for preorder on pricewatch it was 500 bux, then when it actually release it went down to 412. The same thing will happen when nvidia fully releases there cards.

Common sense people

hmmm I wonder where those 300 and 400 dollar prices went to . If I recall correctly those were the quoted MSRP's but I guess those will be the prices about 6 months from now.

When the cards are released, the MSRP price is $600 = 6800UltraExtreme, $500 = 6800Ultra, $400 = 6800GT, and $300 = 6800. That's what they are saying they should be, however, if the x800pro is any indication of whats to come, you can expect all the prices to be raised $50, seeing as the x800pro was MSRP at $400, but sells at $450.

yeah I noticed. Doesn't bother me because I am just going to pick up an Asus X800 Pro and if the core matches I will make it an XT( and even if not any of these cards would be great coming up from a 7500 AIW). They won me over with there package of games and goodies unless asus also comes out with an NV40 real soon. Gotta give it to Asus and MSI to make great packages.

the 6800Ultra Extreme isn't actualy that much, EVGA is selling theirs for $549.99, though right now supplies are so limited on them that they are doing a drawing every friday for a chance to buy one, 5 cards a week.

The X800 Pro is available for well under 400 and has been for a while. I would not expect the 6800 GT to go down in price anytime soon because from what Ive read the yields on 6800 Ultra cores are extremely low...like thousands at best. So it looks like if you want to buy a 6800 retail, it will be a GT for the forseeable future, which means the price wont drop. Besides, there are many places selling FX 5950's well over 400 dollars right now which means nVidia's PR machine will be getting bonus's this year...
