GTX 295 Pricing

[nitromullet]

I was looking up some info on the GTX 295, and found this:

BFG Technologies Geforce GTX 295 1792MB - $511.86
http://www.provantage.com/bfg-...x2951792e~7BFGT03X.htm

Nothing earth shattering, as it's probably about what most people expected, but I figured I'd post it because it's the first retail GTX 295 with pricing that I've seen.

With an MSRP of $499, Im not surprised at the initial pricing. I bet price gouging will probably be the first thing to notice for the first few weeks of its release. Its also interesting to note the sudden fall of GTX280 prices.

It will be interesting to see if the 4870x2 drops in price to compete with this.

Will be interesting to see. I'm betting there's a bit of wiggle room left..

4870x2 for $400 is a great deal IMO (with rebate but still pretty good).

A recent Fud article was titled "ATI doesn't have a dual answer." Yes they do!

This move places pressure on both 295 and 285..

Damn, no doubt. How is Sapphire on rebates? I'm still waiting on a rebate from BFG from a rebate I sent in months ago...

All this makes the my step up for a 285 look really really good!
