Interesting

Here in the UK prices looks like it will be close to the ATI 9700 PRO,


Prices quoted from here ,
Gigabyte Radeon 9700 PRO £319.99
Hercules ATI 9700 Pro £314.99
Sparkle Geforce FX £329.99

I should point out the cheapest ATi 9700 Pro cards in the UK are still around £280 and for the ATi 9700 about £200.

So I expect to see FX cards slightly cheaper from other sites then the one from above link.

Wow, why do you have to pay so much more? If I had to pay that much for a card I'd get a bunch of friends together and fly a guy to here and buy some hehe

LOL! And I thought over 700 Canadian was ludicrous!

It`s the 17.5% VAT (Value added tax) .

 

[ScrewFace]

Sh*t! That'd cost $1,348.21 Canadian! That's absolutely rediculous!!! Like they say in the Mob: Forget agout it.:disgust:

 

[Bovinicus]

Lets wait and see what the cost is like in America. Europe always gets reamed on prices. =)

A 9700PRO Retail (Hercules) is £250 actually, or about $375. Still expensive, but not totally awful.

This is a Club3D GF FX 256DDR2 DVI/CRT

That's suprising as we know the card has 128 bit wide memory. Maybe this is a 256 MB VRAM version of the card?

 

[WyteWatt]

BFG10K true.

 

[BFG10K]

It would certainly explain the rather ridiculous cost.

 

[chizow]

that's a reputable looking site

I can't read german, but I'm guessing ETA sometime in March? Sounds like the price premium is the cost of some German comp geek running out and buying a card, then turning it around and shipping at a nice mark-up.

The Sparkle Geforce FX version is also 256mb .

A 9700PRO Retail (Hercules) is £250 actually

Depends where you order from,OcUK have it listed as £301,the bottom line is the average price for the Hercules 9700 Pro is £270-£300,anything below is real cheap.Sapphire and Connect3D are normally cheaper then the Hercules version and both are listed at around £270 for the 9700 Pro.

 

[lifeguard1999]

Is the Sparkle the FX Ultra???
Is the Club3D the FX Ultra???

 

[cnhoff]

@chizow

It's not german, those guys are from holland and it means that the card will be available at the end of january.

 

[BarMan]

Does this whole thing remind someone of another piece of PC hardware? I.E. P4 3Ghz???

Yeah dumb sh_ts still bought that $700 piece of crap, I wouldn't doubt those same ones will jump on this too.

Found another site Selling a Sparkle one though, This is an actually reasonible price here:

"an 800MHz memory clock speed, 500MHz core clock speed and a staggering 48 GB/sec memory bandwidth (again over twice that of its nearest rival"

.. I really wish ATi would claim that 100+GB/sec with their own color compression factored in to shut down this marketing garbage..

Deze kaart is eind januari leverbaar door ons dus reserveer snel!

anyone knows what that means? its right under the price... so wondering if it says something like "box of gf fx only"

 

[Citadel535]

Is that the single slot version? I am waiting for the single slot version. I am one of those aforementioned dumb sh_ts that bought a 3GHz P4 this holiday season. I need it to replace my 8500! That card sucks!

Apparantly when literally translated it means. "This menu is offset January deliverable through we thus spare swift!"



This translator was used.

I think the meaning is closer to: "This card is deliverable after January so reserve one quickly!"
