"As for the cards' promises of price and performance, we're underwhelmed. Pricing is the worst part. ATI told us that its suggested retail price for this card would be $199. We've trolled the various shopping metasearch sites, as well as PC hardware stalwarts NewEgg and ZipZoomFly. Metasearches on Froogle and Pricegrabber showed an average of $280. NewEgg doesn't have it yet, and ZipZoomFly lists the card for $225. The general trend of higher prices could be due to supply problems; ATI claims that it will drop in the coming weeks. If it doesn't, paying $299 for $199 performance is a tough pill."

Yep, supply vs. demand.

Bottom line is, don't buy it priced over retail.
 
i wouldn't buy this card just yet. it's sort of like the con-roe motherboard deal . they first come out with the $300 gold plated mb's for overclockers first --than a month later the inexpensive overclocking MB's start to show up for $117 .

this card will start showing up @ or bleow the Retail price very soon . if you wait untill the dx-10 start to show--maybe even a bargin price .

i'm in the market for either this card or the 7900gto --but i'm holding out untill one of them sort of hit's the bottom --sort of speak--lol :cool:
