Nvidia 6800GT PCI-express

I really want one of these cards to put in an SLI board, but I haven't seen them available anywhere. I am about to buy a new system next week and if i can't find these cards i'm going to end up sticking with AGP version.

has anyone seen these anywhere?!

They're rare, thats for sure.

Too many people like you, building a new system, and quite a few who are going SLI, so they take 2.

they're very rare, atm like dark said, and they're hella expensive to boot because of the demand.

Here is one, out of stock of course

When I was looking around I heard a common ETA of January 19th. A few places expected to get some in a week after Christmas or so, but those must have gotten snatched up.

I picked one up on Ebay that appeared for a few hours on Christmas Eve day.

They've been pushing back those ETA dates since late november. Every time it gets a few days within the ETA date, they push it farther back again. Quite annoying!

How about getting two 6600GT for now and wait for the 6800 GT to come down in price?
