This will be the case until somebody starts selling at the lower price. Then everyone will have to lower prices, or they will be stuck with old inventory.

I placed an order for a 144 three weeks ago and am still waiting for them to show up. Although with this price drop, I'll jump on a 146 if it shows up (hmmm, that 10 multi is sounding nice.)

The pricing on the opterons also changed today. The 144 is now $111, and the 146 is about $125. Both are killer deals, and both chips cannot be found anywhere. :(

Thanks for the info. I am also curious about the 144. Although if I can't find one, I'll snatch up those oem 146's.

I got mine. :cool:

For that price what is the point?

Yup, I meant 340 (I'll fix it). It is essentially the same price, so the tiebreaker is the higher clockspeed on the evga, the $25 worth of play money that comes with the cardpool, COD2, and the (very) slightly better warranty on the evga.

I'd say the current best deal on a 7800gt is the evga at ZZF . It is $340 (edited) before the $25 cardpool promo and you get COD2 as well. Same lifetime warranty as BFG too (actually perhaps evga's is a little better because they have a *nudge, nudge, wink, wink* attitude toward overclocking...

Yes, but the CO in evga's product name does stand for copper. I guess CO sounds cooler than Cu (probably cuz it is similar to OC).

That is evga's "vanilla" model clocked at 445/1070, compared to the 470/1100 speeds on the CO model that 9iron linked to. (Yes, I'm spending way too much time staring at 7800's).

I agree. Except for the cheaper part. $369-$25(rebate)-$25(funny money) is still more than $320-$30.

Errr, thats the GTX

Finally under my self imposed upper limit of $300 for a vid card, although it relies on a fairly questionable rebate. At this point, I think I'd rather pay an extra ~$25 to get the bfg model from dell (with $35 coupon and $30 rebate) to get the extra Mhz and the lifetime warranty. The...

Jeez. I did't expect the vid cards to be 45% off, but I figured 15-20% was a reasonable expectation. These "deals" suck big time. On the bright side, the rebate has been extended for the bfg 7800gt

I want to know if the bfg 7800gt will be one of the "select" accessories tomorrow.
