Ok, my internet gets cut off a couple days after the start of November, and before that, i heard that 8800GT prices were supposed to fall and the 256 edition was supposed to come out... What happened?

Click to expand...

Although the 512MB 8800GTs have been shipping, the supply of such cards is very short at this time, and the few resellers which don't sell out of such cards have been charging significantly higher than normal prices on them: Instead of the $200 to $250 range, the resellers who actually have sufficient stock of those cards have been charging close to $300 (if not higher). In other words, you've been caught in the law of supply and demand.
 
In addition, because of the demand for the 8800 GT 512MB, I seriously doubt there will be a 256MB version on-offer anytime soon.
 
Nice, the price tag is ridic(you can buy an 8800GT512 for cheaper), but i'm sure it'll go down.
 
Yeah, UK prices suck.
Even worse, the 512MB card I ordered for approx $400 yesterday from Overclockers UK with next day delivery hasnt shipped!
It even asks which day you want it delivered even though they have no chance of achieving it, grrr.
They are recruiting more staff.... Again :rolleyes:
Then they didnt answer my enote, excuse is they answer them in order and dont have the staff.

So ladies and gents be careful not to book the day off if you are expecting an order from OCuK as this order cost me a days holiday!
