Nice find!

And that's a sweet card...20%+ faster than the lower clocked 256mb GT in most games. Sweet indeed!

Nice one.

Price listed in Euros, so can I assume that this is roughly equivalent to the US dollar ?? $370 retail isn't too bad if thats right.

That's a little steep for me, i'd like to see it under $350 considering 256mb GTs are $275 now. $50 for +256mb ram seems reasonable. Maybe a little too optimistic

nice finds, should be good cards, though i dont really see the point in a 512 6800GS, not sure its worth it, but i can the 7800GT benefiting from the extra memory, and more importantly the extra memory bandwidth.

Agree with you! 400 Euro is too much. That about $480.00 versus $299 for a high-end XFX or eVGA.

Thats about $480.00

:frown: Thanks for the conversion .... that stinks now that we know the $$ ... stick with the regular GT and let the extra RAM Gainward card to the guys who need a bigger pensu.
