Anyone know when they are going to release the nvidia 6800gt pci express version?

I was wondering if anyone knew what the release date for the 6800 gt pci express card is? Or is it already for sale? I cant seem to find it anywhere at all. Ive seen people reviewing it, and ive seen pictures of it. But my god I cant find where to buy it. The only thing I can find is the dell nvidia 6800 gto some what underclocked version.

check out the thread on 'what is the 6800 GTO' (or similar title name for the thread) using some progs like rivatuner you can unlock the GTO to the power of a GT quite easily

in other words u pay less for the better product

GTO specs = 350 - 450/900 - 5/12.......with 256mb GDDR3
GT specs = 350 - 500/1000 - 6/16......with 256Mb GDDR3

Rivatuner/coolbits u can unlock the GTO to 6/16 (without problems) and up your core and memory, havnt tested it meself yet, but quite a few people have and quite stably with stock cooling in Dell 8400 (i think they got up to 425 core and 1100 memory)

So this would probably be my best bet huh? Just get one of those nvidia 6800 gto? But do you know when other companies are going to sell pci express versions of the 6800gt? Im still a bit skeptical on the whole overclocking idea.

i doubt it will be more than a month or so before they bring out PCI versions that u can pick up easily, could even be sooner......but no, i dont know exactly when, sorry...

the OC isnt too difficult, so long as u dont go silly your card should be fine, in fact u dont really need to OC much, just open the 4 other pipes and the 6th VS, that gives u almost GT spec as it is, then just ramp up the memory speed to 1000, perfectly stable setting and no artefacts, mine is running fine on it

(the GTO is basically just a GT card thats been toned down by Dell so they can sell it cheaper, so long as your masked pipes and VS are not masked because they were damaged then you wont have a problem)
