*HAWT* XFX 6800GT *PCI-E* DualDVI $299 AR

Here begins the price slide for 6800GT & 6600GT because of the new 7800 boards! I am waiting for the 6600GT to fall below $100 & 6800GT to below $200. I am sure it will happen in the next 2 months!

And yes, this is a great price & find OP...

I don't think the two cards will fall much because there is still strong demand for these.

6600GT may fall around $120, and 6800GTs around $300, even may be $280.

Next 2 months for sub $200 6800GTs? Dream on...

Ya, I have to say that is a huge drop expectation for a 2 month time period. Plus, the 7800 is just one next gen card. Once more of them get released, then the prices of the older stuff will fall faster.

IMO the real deals will come when its much cheaper to get 2x 6800GT's in SLI over just one 7800GTX (~equivalent performance). With this deal they are pretty much exactly the same price, $600. 6800's in SLI still outperform the GTX at high resolutions, AA, AF.

Someones living in a fantasy world.
 
I would like to sincerely apologize to everyone for wishing that the prices would drop more than that is reasonable. I am looking for ways to redeem myself for committing such a crime.

Now can we move on & discuss the merits of the video cards & the price?
 
The 7800GTX is the only model released so far in the 7xxx line, and it's quite a lot faster than the fastest 6xxx series cards. Hopefully more 7xxx variants will be launched which will cause more ready price slides for the 6 series. When the 6 series launched, they announced the full line up or at least 6600 variants right on launch day, which helped 5 series prices drop faster. Still waiting for that.
 
Nice deal, too bad its XFX, any other manufacturer would make it teh ultimate. X800XL still $50 less though, too much of a premium for SM3.
 
Yeah XFX is pretty much teh suXXOrs for graphics card makers. I'd still consider the base price $340 for Geforce 6800 GT.
 
I had a XFX card long ago and no probs. But not the best of performance based on the specs. If it were BFG it would be HOT! Even if it were Leadtek it would be Mild Hot, but XFX...Warm I think.

How well does the XFX overclock? I've heard people suggest a new cooler - any experiences?
 
The egg has the xfx 6800gt agp model for 278. Ive been looking to go from my 6800nu to a gt, but i might wait a couple more months for more price drops. This doesnt look to bad a deal though.
