Where are all the X1900XTs?

Where are all the X1900XTs? Newegg only shows 1 from Asus and out of stock. Price watch shows none of the 256MB ones. The 512MB one has jumped over 100 in price it seems for the only available one I could find (Newegg). Most on price watch are sold out. I wanted the X1900XT 256MB for my new build, anyone know if people will make more?

Interesting, it seems like x1900xt(x) stock is dwindling. I guess they want us all to buy 1950 cards.

You could go for a 1950pro ($199), I think they're close in performance, or get a 1900 AIW.

1900AIW

Here's a couple from a reputable seller that has them in-stock and under $300

I think they're starting to dry up. Both the 7900 GTX and the X1900 XTX are both around 300 now, so there's less room for the X1900XT until they refresh it with faster mem in the form of the X1950 XT. I realize it's just ZZF after a rebate, but if one store offers it, within a month or two, you might see more and more cards in this range.

Wow IF the x1900xt 256 and 512 dwindle ati will have a huge gap in its high end. Your choices will be x1900gt, x1950 pro, x1900 aiw, then straight to x1900xtx/x1950xtx lol. Seeing as there is still the occassional available 7900gto and the 7900gtx is 376 AR at the egg; if you want to go high end ati you have to choose between 1900xtx and 1950xtx the first being 500 at the egg.

Face it. 7900GTO is dead now. It was a limited release to clear out overstock of 7900GTX parts.

The x1950xtx is about $400 at newegg right now, and is replacing the x1900xtx. It's also quieter, cooler and faster, so there's no reason to to buy a $500 x1900xtx. The x1900gt is also getting phased out, and replaced by the x1950pro, which outperforms any other card for $200, so unless you really want a card that sits right between the xtx and the pro in price and performance, I dont see a problem with their lineup. The $250 x1900xt was a good deal, but apparently too good to last for long, and I dont expect them to be back in stock anymore.
