So Newegg dropped a load in there pants and removed the pages completely. I called Newegg today and they stated that the Webdesign team has to rebuild the pages and expect them to be available by Wednesday of this week. EVGA is pretty lame for getting their butts up in the air over nothing. Oh big secret and then when the day comes they sit back and do nothing. Thanks EVGA, lame as always..."

This will undoubtedly give Newegg every reason to price gouge when they finally release these........

I know, its stupid. They are being hailed as being a mid range part yet priced no cheaper

Komplett is the same price.

I wouldn't give overclockers my cash ever and no where else I can see has them in stock

I find it very strange that 2/3 or the reviews don't have temp test with idle and load and only a few have video decoding tests. When a new card came out in the past about all the reviews would have both in there reviews.

Lucky gits. To give you an idea we are paying $362.00 for the same product

**Metroid** · 10-29-2007, 08:06 AM

$239 is just amazing, in UK is $360

so unfair. So we are actually paying 1 1/2 price for 1 card.

You got to love VAC.

Seems retailers are putting their prices up as supply is not meeting demand

It depends.

It would if is an order like 10 cards

Let's make a list

Joking

It would be much better travel to USA enjoy the trip and buy the card. I'm thinking about that.

You would most likely end in the customs and have to add customs tax, VAT etc.

Unless you've got some1 being able to send it to you as a gift...

What do you think about the price, I'm in need of a new gfx card but I'm not that in a hurry and I'd gladly see how well HD3870 does first, do you think prices on 8800GT will still be at same level at let's say in 1 week? Would bother me quite a bit if prices goes up, I see the card for 244 EUR listed in a shop in Finland which is a quite "OK" finnish price but how about waiting a week or two to get a good grip of HD3870? You think prices are more likely to go up or down or remain the same?

**Eagleclaw** · 10-29-2007, 08:23 AM

Well I got mine if they ship today (who knows) will be here tomorrow!

Here is a list of the eVGA models if anyones interested. Also the one at NCIX.com is the Superclocked

naokaji · 10-29-2007, 08:27 AM

well, next week it will most likely be a bit cheaper due to more shops haivng it in stock, what happens afterwards will depend on what ati does...
