Is it hot? - 7900GTX $243.98 Including Shipping

[Kougar]

Those prices don't seem outrageous IMHO... considering that equates to a quad-core Kentsfield + Conroe in total number of transistor count, and performance is expected to double over current generation G71/x1900 class hardware. I can't wait to be able to fold on a R600

When the X1900XT is selling for $240, why is everyone going crazy over the 7900GTX for more? Is it really THAT hot?

Is this $240 X1900XT really faster?

For $240, its probably the 256mb version, and in most cases the GTX comes out faster.

Not really faster, but comparable. It's just curious how the 7900 for more $ is treated like the second coming of Jesus or something in AT Hot deals. Hell, I'd sooner go with the new GTO then hold my breath of this "deal" so to speak.

What the hell is AMEX?

Low power and NV advertising probabaly accounts for hype... this card should cost about $220 after doing research. Minimums in Oblivion are just horrendous. $240 x1900xt destroying it. That said I only buy NV because of some features in driver..like centered mode on LCD's which mine does'nt ahve a HW option. Also low heat (I have 7900GT's about 50Wea)

I think your reference to the second coming of Jesus shows great ignorance on your part... we all know the third part of any trilogy is the best... the third coming is gonna rock! I mean just look at the Matrix trilogy or for you intelligent types the last play of the Oresteia: The Eumenides................................

Anybody receive anything? OP? No update? How do we cancel?

I ordered my 7900GTO (Fedex ground shipping) from mwave on Friday, when the price was still 249.90. Since I am in Southern California, I received mine today.

I replied to my order confirmation 2 days ago asking for an ETA on a ship date and have heard nothing back. The silence is deafening.

I have a X1900XT on the way, but that 7900GTO looks mighty tempting.

 

[LavidDichterman]

I canceled my order and I heard back the next business day. They're definitely ignoring people who ask for an ETA.

 

[Billyzeke]

I canceled this morning, and heard back within the hour. Funny after processing for over a week. Oh well my GTO should be here tomorrow from ZZF. :thumbsup:

Canceled my order today after I got my 7900GTO from MWave. Sitting here with it running 700/1600, hello $260 GTX.
