Sweet. For anyone who didn't know, check out your local Fry's. Mine (Fountain Valley, CA) had about 10 of these last week for $299.99.

It's good to see more of these pop up on the net at MSRP. Hopefully other vendors will decrease the price of the 6800GT in the coming weeks.
 
I can't believe my eyes. A PCI-e video card for MSRP! Finally ATI's got a card that compares to the 6800 GT for $100-200 cheaper. It's too bad it took them so long to put out a decently-priced PCI-e card that doesn't suck (X300, X600 :Q). I'm doing fine with my 6800NU for now, though it was overpriced I have to say ($340 :disgust: vs. $300 for X800 XL). But to make me amazed, they'd have to keep this thing in stock for more than 5 days straight. Maybe one more thing: I wish prices for video cards were linear with performance. For example if I pay $500 I want to get something that offers 5/3's the performance of this card. A lot to ask, isn't it? If this only had SM3.0 support and maybe AMR (ATI Multi Rendering (SLI), though mostly pointless) it would probably get a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records for a videocard's price-features/performance ratio.

This is a great choice for any hardcore gamer. I just can't conceive the need for anything more. With such a reasonable (MSRP) price this is really a steal. I still don't think I could have waited from the promised late-January date until now to play my games though. A few days with a Rage 128 Pro PCI was a horror story.

Edit: I edit my posts 5 times a minute, so check back often. 😉
 
Compusa has been cranking out the masses of these as they get shipments in everyday.I purchased mine for $280 with a 20 giftcertificate. Good ass deal.
 
I'm still seeing a bunch of these cards at my local Fry's at $300. Either they are not selling well here or ATi is doing a great job in supplying this time
