7900 GTO no more?

[ebeattie]

Just thought Id pass on this info. Im sure other places still have some in stock, but if you were waiting for one of these to go down in price, yall may have missed your chance to own one!

OOS everyplace else I looked except mwave who has it for $319.
Price has gone way up since the first day it became available. I paid $249 shipped at ZZF a month ago.

I got in on the deal for $253 at Newegg on Sunday night. Early the next morning when i checked my order it had been sold out. It has been sold out of every other online merchant I checked since Monday. Looks like this past weekend was your last chance.

At $253 I'd get the 7900GTO since it only loses to the X1900XT 256MB by a few fps and it has a quieter heatsink/fan. At $319 I'd just get the X1900XT256 and maybe a Zalman VF900 to keep it quiet.

The best price you could get it at was $239.99 on the one day special (10-13-06) at Chiefvalue.

Doesn't matter that you can't find them. Next month when G80 is released, the true 7900GTX will be that price 🙂

there's no way the 7900gtx will drop that low. They've dropped card prices in the past apon the release of it's replacement, but there's no way you'll see a 7900gtx for $150 less than they sell now. My guess is they'll stay exactly where they're at. You can still buy 7800gtx 512's brand new for $645 (granted, from price gouging ebay stores). Nobody's going to buy at that price. Thats only $100 less than what they retailed on release. I do, however completely understand that these prices are being set by vendors who bought too many, not by the vid card manufacturers themselves.

That said, I'm completely extatic that I ordered mine on sunday night as well! Hopefully I don't end up with bad memory 😛

That's the one I got in on! Happened to see it pop up in Hot Deals on 10/12 and hopped on it on 10/13. It was a lucky find...

Tigerdirect (in Canada tho) still has them. They had a HUGE sale on for $260 CAN but now they're back up to regular price of $320 CAN, still in stock too.

Just FYI for any Canucks out here.......NCIX and DirectCanada might have them too 😉

Update: I've been told that EVGA is "trying" to manufacture more 7900GTOs. Looks like there will be some more for sale before it's all over.

will those come from G80 upgraters? ;-)

Where all 7800GT went when ppl upgrated to 7900GT?

A 7900GTX may not drop that low, but a faster 8800 card may be at the same rpice. Recall the 7800GTX which was beat by the lower proced 7900GT.
