Keep in mind even with the currency exchange, products cost more to import into Europe and they pay a ton more taxes on each product

Cept maybe out here in CA where we can expect 8.25 % :(

25% VAT here, oh yeah. Cant wait to see the price on 280.

Btw, noticed this picture some days ago:

Cooler 'ready for G200 + RV770'. Doesn't really mention if it works with older models too though, is there still no decent info on whether or not current GPU coolers will fit?
I surely hope third party coolers will be available around release. 'Monster' GPU's need monster coolers ^^

Don't worry, nothing will fit it.
There is one known waterblock and aircooler in the works, with more to come later, but nothing currently available will be able to work on the new Nvidia cards.

Anyways... initial pricing at "big" retailers will be 600$ to 650$ ( let's say max 670$ with some price gauging )

whoever you want to blame it on, they killed the economy of my home town.

Anyways, 582 euros is ~$9xx was my point

582€ is with taxes and stupidity and and... you can't do a direct conversion.

$650 in the US.

price allready droped to 574€ plus this price includes 19,6% VAT.

I think well see prices between 500-550€ (incl vat) in europa.

I don`t know if anyone`s remembered, but the US dollar went down the drain a long time ago.

575.00 EUR = 892.470 USD
1 EUR = 1.55212 USD

However, because the cards ship from the US, transportation cost and multiple markups make the card more expensive than it should be. So the price in the US should be about $700 USD.

The last card I owned was a 7950gx2 - sorry in advance for the noob question, but I assume air cooling will likely to be enough for the 280 (base retail - not modded or overclocked)?

Yes we all know 550 euro is about $850.....

But tech products never obey just the exchange rate, Everything electronic is so much cheaper in the US

the GTX280 will be about $600 in the US so it should cost us 384 euro in Europe.... But nope, We pay 550 euro or so :(

It's always been like that, you can't do direct EUR <-> US price comparisions. If it's $650 in US I'd expect around 550 EUR in euroland (incl VAT). If US launch prices are more like $700 I'd expect EUR prices to be around 580 ~ 600 EUR etc.

3D 06 1280x1024

GTX 280 - 14700

Card is running @ 605 core /1110 mem /1300 shader speeds.

QX9650 C0 @ 3100mhz
eVGA 790i ultra
Super Talent DDR3 @ 1600 CL 7

649.00 USD MSRP sounds about right may even go as high as 700.00 first
week or so. :)

Your score is on the high side, hornet. Stock GTS's usually score 11k, and around 12k with a 3ghz quad.

However, a single GTX 280 should easily beat 17k in 3d06 at stock if there was any truth to the Vantage numbers. :)

that's a big Dissapoitment that can't be true, because that's what i
used to score with Ultra, now with 9800 GTX i can do over 15k and with
GX2 i've scored 21k...

so Dynasty i'm just praying to know that you forgot to put a few zero's after... :D

ah, Assembly lines...

I dunno if it's a bunch of gx2s or 280s (fully encased heatsinks are way too similar on the back)
but there's a shot of a 280 from the same source
