Offical 7900 series Prices at Tiger Direct

Well I'm in an awkward situation now, based on the BS I heard about this card being slightly slower/on-par to the X1900 XTX, I ordered the ATI card a few days ago. Would you guys say I should cancel the order and wait for this 7900 card? The price point is interesting, generally if it's a better card, they would charge more... right?

yes yes yes yes yes

cancel cancel cancel cancle

some say its only gonna be 8-10% faster then the 7800GTX 512. fine. but allll the chipset makers are gonna redesign and oc the crap outta em. nvidia always leaves alot more up the the board maker then ati. like asus took the 7800GTX 256, which scores approx 7500 on 35mark 05, and made it score 8600 on 3dmark 05. thats 15%. so your lookign at 25%(on the 7900) upgrade, if they do something similar again.

im betting your running on an SLi board too. dont go buying a 1900XT(X) when your on nf4 sli. on top of that when the 7900 comes out the 7800 prices are gonna go way down, i wouldnt be suprised if they went down as low as $300, so you couuulllld get two of those. :D thats what im gonna do, probibly. but im waiting for AM2.

i seriously doubt this release will lower the X1900 cards by much if any at all, if you are getting the card for what i can do just stay with it, the single card solution really isn't going to change unless you care about a 5%~ difference in performance
 
Is the $550 BFG card going to be OCed at all?

I'm going to stay away from XFX, my dual 7800GTXes made a hell of alot of electronic noise and the memory OCed poorly despite being an OC edition.

I'm pretty sure there will be OC cards in excess of 700Mhz.core and 1.65 memory :D
 
Since we all know Tigerdirect overprices to hell...here's what I'm expecting for Newegg and other fine e-tailers.

7900GT ~ $300
7900GTX ~$500

That would be the ones at stock speed. Overclocked versions should be +$50. :)
 
i wonder how the 7900gt is going to perform...better than the 7800gtx you think?
 
im expecting the 7900GTX be similar to the current 7800GTX256, the 7900GTX256 to be alot like the current GTX512 (clocks/mem the same half the memory) and the 7900GTX512 to be an OC'd 7800GTX512

Yes! With the new Dell monitors that should be coming out soon (2407& 2007) they will be HDCP enabled too. I'll be set then for Vista. I just need to buy one an optical drive for BluRay/HD-DVD, I think I'm going to pay out the ass for that. :rolleyes:
Click to expand...

Initially they'll be exspensive, probably $400+, but they should fall quickly in price, especially if Sony, Hollywood and the gang wants to sell HD content.

I'm gonna sit on my hands for this technology until probably this time next year, or at least until I have a better understanding of content prices and availablity, and recordable media prices, and of course, how DRM really affects everything.
 
If I go with this generation, its going to be for a quad SLI, assuming its not super exspensive. I remebering seeing some site mention an $800 MSRP as the price for one of these puppies, which isn't too bad I think. Of course MSRP doesn't mean a whole lot if the supply of these things is low, but that shouldn't be a problem I hope.

I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on a PC Power and Cooling 1KW power supply, which should be able to run quad SLI if there are no external power options, but I guess we'll have to see.
 
I have seen them. They will be worth it when they come. If you have less than a 600watt psu then start shopping for a new one soon. I think they may require close to a KW on a dual core system with 2 gb of ram 2hdd raid dvdr sound card type of setup

So what kind of prices have you seen if any? If they can be had for $1K or less per card, I think I'll go for it. So I'm planning on $2500 for the cards and a 1KW power supply. Hopefully they be somewhat under $1K!
 
EVGA better have theirs ready, im using the step up for this shizznit. :p

naw the X1900 and 7900 will be neck and neck
Click to expand...

If thats true I'll be buying a Nvidia, just because thier drivers and stuff always seem to work well for me, primary reason I'm upgrading is for Oblivion, my pc is about due for a upgrade anyways.
 
evga has been a launch partner for the last few gens so hopefully they will have them ready, im itching to step up my self.

im hoping the gtx is more than 8% (reported) faster the 7800gtx 512.
 
yea so there still is no inventory for these cards as of yet, we stayed late tonight reciving product and did not come across it, i was hoping that we did.

but we were talking and had thought that the price were going to be about what they have seemed to be, because they have to compeat with the X1900 series cards, which was proven true from my initial post, i work tomorrow and saterday so i will keep an eye out for them,and pick one up as soon as i can.

dude your signature is probibly the most powerful gfx system iv ever seen, one of those 512's is hard to get your hands on, howd you get two???

sorry to the point, its not gonna be that much. Gigabyte realeased a quad board with regular sli, although it doesnt have the quad sli drivers it can support 4 cards running technically running in sli. really all it did was take sli... and double it. and somehow they used an amd style nf4 chipset or something to doulbe the something blagh blagh blagh anywho it ended up with two north bridges. and it can run four video cards, but nvidia is keeping the way they did the XPS renegade a secret, so i cant find weather they did do 2 northbriges or used a different setup. if they used a different setup, this board will never support qual sli, if they did exactly what giga-byte did, then it will be able to support quad sli, and will be the first quad sli board publicly available. anywho take a look at this monstosity

and im betting ati might even get onboard with the idea of FOUR gpus, quad crossfire lol. donno if you can get that much data thru one of those dongle cables.
 
Looks like Gigabyte wagered that future video cards will have umbilical power because the board does not look like it has additional molexes for multiple SLI setups. Might have a problem running several older cards on these boards, which sucks. :(

I dont know about price yet but I imagine the cards will go for about $850.00 a pop. Maybe a little more. 1k is a bit too much for one IMHO. They know they wont sell many aroiund 1k. :D

Time to use the step-up program :D
Click to expand...

step up program sucks IMO

assuming you bought your evga card originally from a "qualified retailer", and have all the original box, manual, accessories(except any games included), if not, subtract 15% from your credit allowance

you get the priginal purchase price as credit

then you have to pay the difference between your purchase price and evga's highly inflated MSRP, plus you pay for shipping

scenario

EVGA 6600GT bought on Newegg two months ago for $130 (no shipping/tax included)

go to evga to "step up" to 7900GT for lets say EVGA $450 MSRP

so you get $130 credit, difference is $320

subtract shipping charges

you pay somewhere around $300 for a 7900GT

now, lets look at the other way.....

EVGA 6600GT bought on Newegg two months ago for $130 (no shipping/tax included)

sell on ebay for $100

find 7900GT on Newegg for $350, subtract $100 proceeds, = $250 + shipping.....so what, like $260 tops for a 7900GT, and you still have your EVGA step up in the "hole"

Damn then the stup up program does suck. Are you sure their MSRP's are inflated like that. That should be argued. They should charge what you would have to pay when you buy it retail.

hey sman262, do you happen to live in Canada?...and are those prices from www.tigerdirect.ca

or are those US prices?
 
yeah they plump up the prices pretty juicy... from there site

e-GeForce 7800 GT CO SE

Part Number: 256-P2-N516-AX
MSRP: $429.99 USD

That card goes for under 300 bucks on newegg.com
 
Yes I know the downsides of the step up program. HOWEVER, when the 7900GT is released it'll probably be around MSRP price regardless.

So my GT was ~$290 when I bought it. So if I were to pay the rumor MSRP price of 350, it'll only be 60 bucks. 60 dollars isn't that much if the performance increase warrants it.
 
gimme that..gimme that!

i do anything,anything at all!!

$ also?? ok,that too...

aii!!

:p

i bet you $$ EVGA MSRP will be at least $50 over Newegg, ZZF, and Tiger Direct selling price

EVGA NF41 mobo, EVGA MSRP = $199.99

EVGA NF41 mobo, Newegg price = $129

there msrp in the past has been the oficial launch price, when the mobo first came out it was cheaper at evga than newegg. the 7800gt was $450 at launch. i agree the step up program is generally a crock of crap but it may be worth it this time. if its $50-$60 over what we have into our gt's its worth upgrading. nobody would trade me a evga 7800gtx 256 for my 7800gt + $50. the spec's on the new 7900gt (450/1300 24p) are faster than a 7800gtx 256 (430/1200 24p). there isnt much to lose, it will also be easier for me to sell a 7900gt in a year than a 7800gtx.

belive it or not some people like to keep the boxes and all origional paperwork for computer parts when they get them. i have mine sitting next to me.

QFT!!!! Finally someone agree's with me that this step up program is a rip.
 
Step up isn't bad if you paid $350 for the "free" motherboard combo. You don't have to turn in the motherboard on the set-up. So I have $350 credit toward a 7900 GTX. Well, actually $330 since I sent in the $20 rebate.
 
is the 7800gtx gonna be worse than the 7800gt? i havent been paying much attention 2 the 7900 rumors so i wanna know what youve all heard.
 
a reference 7800gtx 256 will be slighlty slower than a 7900gt. the 7900gt is clocked higher on both the memory and core with the same amount of pipelines. the real difference is the .90nm vs .130nm wafer process, if anything it should allow for decent overclocking.

if you have a factory overclocked 7800gtx 256 by evga, xfx, bfg than it will probally br faster than a reference 7900gt as the clockspeeds will be in favor of the 7800gtx. it looks like some companys will ne overclocking the 7900gt's as well (like they do with every card) xfx,bfg for sure and im confident evga will as well. the main thing with the 7900gt is the very tiny cooler that we have seen so far, that will keep clockspeeds down for most untill a better cooler is applied (if in fact they do use that cooler)
