I know people have been preordering their cards, and a sporatic few have actually received theirs, but I'd like to start a thread with posts of retailers who are known to have in stock cards. I know as of right now evga.com has them in stock 399. I also found BFG cards HERE with 41 in stock as of now for 425. Anyone else?

Again: Evga cards traditionally have horrible image quality. Dumping over $400 on a card that isnt going to look as good as its direct competitors on the same chip = bad idea.

Perhaps it was because the whole affair, including VGA out, connected through the DVI but my eVGA personal Cinema had very good 2D, I'd say better than my 9800pro thanks to digital vibrance.

Yep. That's why I'm waiting for the Leadtek version to come out. Anyone know any online retailers that have the Leadteks up for order (in stock if possible)?

nice... If you want to price gouge, just make up an MSRP....

You have to remember, though, that this is the 6800GT OC. BFG's card is pre-overclocked, or clocked slightly higher at default, or whatever you want to call it. It's MSRP is higher than that of other 6800GT cards, so I think that pricing may be correct. I do see vendors make up MSRPs from time to time though, and it's kind of sad. You aren't saving anything that way.

MSRP on the BFG 6800 GT OC is $399 as well
