Unless that pic is wrong. the one from gameve doesnt support SLI.. the specs dont mention it, and they even say it has one dvi and db15 (analog) interface.. so make sure you know what it is before ordering

the ZZF one is SLI, but out of stock, or not in stock yet

Wow, a hundred bucks more than an agp 6800 gt...continuation of price-gouge tactics I see.

499.00 is the retail on the GT PCIe ? or is there a 100.00 markup compared to AGP GT's...

Crap the price lol...but I'm pretty sure those are SLI compatible, because eVGA was the brand that nVidia used in their demos.

I'm also pretty sure the price will drop once more vendors get them and they age a bit. But who knows? Maybe once NF4 SLI comes out they prices will go way up. Weird world.

Yah I noticed the card on the eve website, im kinda iffy those specs they mention on the 6800 gt pci express seems like the normal agp card. Plus the box picture has no pci express logo on it, and the connector for it is also wrong and is agp format. Well on ebay I tried bidding on it but hahaha seems like this one user wants to hoarde it all to himself. He must have money because the current price is 450. And zipzoomfly is out of stock =(. Well ive been reading some articles and there suppose to release the 6800gt pci express version with a new nv core, I think nv45 or something which has clockspeeds of 400,1100. Which is damn good!!! Hope that gets released real soon with a lower price.

Man that's rough. I'm hoping for a significant price drop in the next two months or so, $399 would be nice. Hopefully it happens!!

I was under the impression that ALL PCI-E 6800,6800GT's and 6800Ultras were SLI ready.
That photo is a pic of an AGP card. PCI-E connectors are VERY long and have only one small notch nearest to the metal case bracket end of the card.

You see how rumours get started? LOL

As soon as the supply becomes more plentiful. When is that? No idea. But I would recommend that everyone wait at least a month before even thinking about purchasing these PCI-E cards. No reason to get raped on an already pricey card. When the price gets to 400.00 or less is the time to buy them.

Think I will wait till eVGA stock it themselves. They may run out of stock but the never price gouge.

ya, but i'm thinkin it'll take a while for them to sell it themselves cause they're probably sending all the ones they are makin out to the online stores.
