Man, I hoped I ordered at the right time!!

I hope I ordered my eVGA 7900 GT CO Superclocked card on time!!
I ordered it lastnight off of m*n*rch for $349...looked again today hoping that the prices didn't drop on any sites and noticed that it actually went UP to $369!

Whew, I thought, if I would have waited until I woke-up in the morning ***bam*** another $20 bucks. Not only the $20 was tacked on there, but they also officially became back-ordered until March 27th

I don't know if I'm on the back-order list or if I was one of the very last to get one shipped...I'll have to wait another 24 hours to find out.

BTW, does anyone have any benchies showing the differences of the 7800's vs. the 7900's?? Just returned my 7800 GT CO for the above card...80mhz in engine and 480mhz in memory clocks should be quite an improvement for the $30 difference I paid between the two cards.

Good luck hunting everyone!!

I ordered my XFX 7900GT Extreme mid-day Thursday and Monarch hasnt shipped it out yet. Dont expect it to be there anytime soon, I doubt I'll get mine till next week. I only wish I had ordered it from newegg when I had the chance, even if it was like $20 more.

Yeah, Monarch is HORRIBLE with shipping at any remotely decent time. I HATE HATE HATE them and only purchase there when they tempt me with ridiculously cheap deals, and I hate myself when I go for them. I complained multiple times to their customer service, and they just claim extra credit card fraud prevention as the reason for shipping delays. But, they never get my order shipped until a literal WEEK after I order. Most other places I shop at ship within 24 hours consistently.

Hopefully you get your card in before the backlog. NeutronUSA claims to have PNY's in stock at a good price here, but I'd call them about the availability first. Their RR isn't great, but it's not bad either at ~7.
