Re: GeForce 7900 Article

Sorry for starting a new thread, I didn't see an official one from you guys on it. Just finished reading the review and enjoyed it, but I noticed this at the end:

The price of the GeForce 7950 GT needs to come well below $300 to compete with the product lineup that is currently out there. We will most certainly be evaluating more GeForce 7950 GT GPUs in the future and we will keep a close eye on the price. For now, if you want to save a little cash this holiday season the GeForce 7900 GT could be an excellent alternative to the GeForce 7950 GT.

Looking @ NewEgg right now (planning my new computer ) and noticed that there are quite a few 7950's for under $300, namely these two:

BFG (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814143071) which is @ $259.99 and has a $20 MIR.

EVGA (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814130061) which is @ $264.99

Is there something I'm missing in those two cards or have the prices just dropped in the last few days?

Prices have dropped since dx10 cards hit the stores. I just picked up the evga 7950gt ko superclocked and love it.

Yeah been looking at the 8800gts, but its pretty expensive (yet so sexy at the same time...). Noticed the XFX 7950 is still around $300 so wasn't sure if the BFG/EVGA cards were missing something on them since they are only a little more than the 7900GTs (BFG even cheaper than some after MIR).
