When will a 6800 GT PCI-express be released?

[TopAce]

I'm getting real mad. I've got my PC all set but the motherboard/Video card. I know i want the new nForce4 SLI with dual video card support, and i want a 6800 GT. Does anyone know when these will be out. I heard by Christmas, but does anyone have an actual date, or month on when they'll be out?

Thanks,
Ace

Nothing yet, but there's always the 6600GT PCI-E made specially for the impatient.

I know, but i would rather get one 6800 Gt and then later down the road get another one...

Is that a true 6800 GT pci-e? Or is it some kind of scam? I thought they werne't out yet?

where have you found them for 400? the cheapest i have seen them is 450 at monarch and 500 everywhere else.. also how are eVGA cards? any good? im debating on waiting for BFG to release something or not

I think evga's are very good. I have an evga agp 6800 gt that overclocked easily to 420/1100 (haven't tried higher, no reason to yet) with stock fan/heatsink. Another nice thing is, you can get a copper heatsink upgrade from their website as an upgrade to the aluminum that they normally come with. It lowers temperatures from 5 to 10 degrees celisus from what I've seen from other user's reports and it lowered mine 7 degrees.

Compared to the popular nv silencer it lowers temperatures about exactly the same, is cheaper, and doesn't void your warranty if you have an evga card (not sure on other manufacturer's warranties). Another nice bonus is if you register your card at their website you get $5.00 off the heatsink. With shipping it comes out to a little over $15.00 after the $5.00 off. If you care a lot about sound though or have a water cooled system the nv silencer is quiter than the stock fan but I can't even really hear it in my system over the rest of my other fans.
