No problem buying one here in Denmark. Easy to get hold on. The same if you look at geizhals for Germany, Austria etc.

Both buying on release date and till now is no problem.

Patience and persistence pay off. I found mine at J & Rs in NY via Amazon. If you want to stay with Newegg you are going to have to be patient, check constantly and be lucky. I opted to go another route and got mine @ 2 weeks ago. Paid more but got it.

If you have read about this at all, it seems everyone wanted a GTX 680 until the GTX 670 came out. Now both are in demand. I think that since the 670 is a slightly "detuned" 680 it might be more plentiful due to yields at present. Hopefully the foundry will ramp up production.

My advice? Check alternative sources (Amazon) and jump on the first one you can find. DO NOT rely on Newegg's "Auto notify" They are swamped with requests.

buy a 670 and overclock it. it's pretty much the same or better...

I get the argument because it applies to almost any video card. Overclock it and you will almost always get the same performance of one model above it. It conveniently forgets that the upper model is also capable of overclocking.
