It's all relative. Given that the x1800 launched for $650 and the 512gtx launched for $700 and then got jacked up to $1000, $550 for a high end card on launch day is a good price.

No, but gold toilet paper wouldn't let me play FEAR at very high res with all of the eye candy. At least I don't think it would.

There's no gurantee that this card will either, I'm not going to bite until I see some official benchmarks.

I am pretty tempted to pick it up myself. I could sell my GTX and get this bad boy. The only thing is, Nvidia has been very good to me

You're tempted????

I have a 7800GTX 512, X800XL and just bought the X1800XT for $400(not including a possible $50 rebate). And I have it in my cart.

But, I'm going to assume that the price can only go down?

I would like to know wtf is up with +25 mhz on GPU & ram xtx vs xt.
You can oc that card with ati tools no problem who would pay $+50 for that small oc.

Ya, I can remember only a few years ago when UBER high end cards were 250-300$ when released.

Thanks OP!

Thats what I was thinking, it must be like the 6800GT vs Ultra. I am very tempted, but I think I am going to hold off until I see a few more benchies and comparisons. Also curious to see what Nvidia has.

that was 50mhz oc last time i checked and we all know how good r520 ocs if the r580 is just as good there is no reason at all to get the xtx.

 

[NoStateofMind]

If I had PCIe, and $500 burning a hole in my pocket, actbuy would be $500 richer.

 

[Munky]

Wait, at this rate you should be able to get it for $400 the day before the official launch

They are reputable IMO. Asus lists them as a partner. I think ATI & nVidia do too. Check resellerratings.com for more info

This guy ordered from them today and spoke to them on the phone - http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?t=437453

Actbuy tends to be one of the first to carry new stuff. I've bought from once in the afternoon and they shipped that same day.

 

[Steelski]

This is as a great popstar once put it...Insania.......
550 sounds a lot better than anything above 600.

 

[DoobieOnline]

Hey KT, this is the first time I've ordered from them but the process was smooth and they've already shipped the card! I'd have to say that they're a quality outfit from those two things alone. I chose the free ground shipping so it won't be here until next week. I really didn't think they would ship the card yesterday or I may have sprung for overnight shipping. No biggie because my new monitor won't be here until next week and that's the reason I'm upgrading.

Awesome, thanks for the info. I have told, I mean asked, my friend to order one of these for me. Hopefully everything will go smoothly (I'm sure it will), too bad I won't actually get to play with this thing though, it will be headed to Calgary unopened

I will just have to wait until I build my new rig in a couple months, though by then I may want the G71
