Thats a NU. Newegg is seriously pissing me off with this.

IMO not worth it for this one. I'd go for the $299 eVGA preorder with FarCry and a better cooler. Its not like you are gonna be the fastest computer on the block if you buy this card for 379 and get it now.

I didn't plan on buying it because i'm getting a GT but this is the first 6800 thats actually been available for purchase instead of pre-order.

eXcaliberPC has the leadtek for $312 in stock now.

 

[Cali3350]

Anything more then ~$280 is a complete and total rip since X800Pros are ~$330 in some spots (if you dont mind waiting a little).

Hmm. $312 isnt too bad seeing I was going to order a 9800pro for $200 this week. eXcaliberPC any good? I've never ordered from them before. I usually order newegg.

Glad to see a few other 6800's hitting shelves now. Hopefully the GT's will soon follow.

I'd say they were as they used to be mostly a front for Abit products, but like 2 years ago or so they started offering a larger selection of items. Their reseller rating is almost identical to that of newegg if that helps.

eXcaliberPC is as good a store to order from as any of the others like ZipZoomFly and Newegg. You'll have no problem with them.

No, the Leaktek NU was avialable about a week ago [someone from nvnews posted it].

 

[Mad_Pyro]

Does anyone else think that for $600, that is a really poor bundle?

 

[Blackwind]

Final question...is $312 a good price for this card? ATI have comparable for same price?

 

[advanced101101]

I would much rather have an Ati x800pro than the 6800nu, cmon!

I'd take either...but I don't know where to get an Ati x800pro right now for $312. Heck..either one is an upgrade to what I'm presently using....so a worthy purchase...I actually wouldn't mind owning a 6800 and a x800 hehe....
