EVGA 512-P2-N575-AX GF7900GTX SUPERCLOCK 512MB PCI-E W/HDTV & DUAL DVI - $795

EVGA 512-P2-N570-AX GF7900GTX EGS 512MB PCI-E W/HDTV & DUAL DVI - $765

Price Gouging as usual...

Jeez, thats just ridiculous.
So much for MSRP

I hope most sites dont follow similar practise.

 

[Polish3d]

LOL I remember when the GTX 512 came out (last time) and Mwave had it for some 7-800 and everyone's like "Just wait, it'll come down."

Hopefully for anyone buying this refresh they release real quantity

 

[yacoub]

Don't worry, once the reviews come out and show it's barely (if any) better than an X1900XTX, the prices will immediately drop to ~$550. (Assuming they actually want to sell them.) The only other reason is they don't actually have a good supply of them (like with the 512MB 7800GTXs).

that is a crazy crazy price :! who is stupid enough to buy that when you can get a faster card for $500 X1900XTX :! wait till the offical launch !

You are right about the price, but we don't know if the X1900XTX is the faster card at the moment. We will know all of this on Thursday or Friday.

Agreed seems like typical gouging to me, lets wait until launch to see the real prices.

 

[LittleNemoNES]

HOLY CRAP!
well, doesnt matter to me -- bought my x1900xt yesterday from Newegg -- $450!

 

[Matt2]

I'm personally interested to see if there is any difference between Regular and superclocked versions. and by that i mean, can the regular one hit superclock speeds?

 

[RobertR1]

$795.....wonder if anyone would be stupid enough......

This card should perform well against the x1900xtx. Thursday will tell all!

 

[McArra]

Since GTX 512Mb performs not bad compared with X1900XTX I guess this 7900Will make things difficult for ATi. Also I have good infos on 550/1600 clocks for factory OC'd 7900GTs...

 

[MTDEW]

If they launch at those prices, then i WILL be putting a x1900xt card in my other rig also.

 

[Dethfrumbelo]

mwave - what a bunch of bastards.

I wish some of these repeat gougers would just die, but there are too many stupid people supporting them.

 

[chiguy2891]

looks like they took it down

 

[Capt Caveman]

Checking over at ocforums, someone also found a 7900GT listed at mwave for $349 which coincides w/ the CompUSA price. But the product has also been taken down.

Someone also called mwave to confirm the price on the 7900GTX and was told that was the standing price.

 

[PSUPef2k]

I will undoubtedly get one of those cards if they come out at 350. but 749!!?*$%$#^@

Sorry to burst your bubble, but there is no way the 7900GTX will debue for anything close to $350.

 

[Extelleron]

What are the clocks on both of these? Since they were taken down......

 

[Capt Caveman]

The clocks were not listed. I'll check the evga forums and try and find out.

Oh, CompUSA is now selling the X1800XT for $299 AR - http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview...atid=40&threadid=1818027&enterthread=y

I would venture to say it won't be anything close to $750 either.

Yes, but remember when it came out 7800GTX 512 was far faster than ATI's best offering. Now, even with this "Superclock" card, ATi has a card out that is faster or at least equal. They cant charge a premium for the "best card" like they did with the 7800GTX 512, people will buy the X1900XT for $450.

That is my plan if the 7900 is too expensive.

 

[robertk2012]

[moonboy403]
