GTX 295 Pricing and availability

[Sipha]

Does anyone have any idea what the price will be like in the UK on launch for the GTX 295 ?

Also if it will be available in stores/etailers ON January 8th ?

Well i expect somewere in the region of £400 to 450, might even be £500

It's nvidia, expect the worst

It's nvidia, expect the worst

Coming from you that doesn't sound very promising.

Id be surprised if they arent the same as GTX280 when they launched...

I doubt it'll be anywhere close to the GTX280, the GTX285 might be close, the 295 will be more like 4870x2 money or slightly more.

 

[DeathTyrant]

I've seen 4870X2s new for under £350 including VAT, so these cards are going to have to be priced well if they want to be at all competitive.

Don't bother asking me where, we all know the rules.

To be competitive: £450 or less
To beat out ATI: £400 or less

They are supposedly coming in around X2 pricing, but im gona say between £500-£600.

 

[DeathTyrant]

If they end up costing that much I won't touch them with a barge pole. It would be GTX285 or 4870X2 for me.

 

[w3bbo]

Add £100 for the first couple of weeks, price will settle after that I reckon. £400-£450 to begin with, £350-£400 afterwards.

 

[Helios1234]

Yeah I'd say around £450.

 

[ps3ud0]

Agreed Webbo - pretty much what GTX280 prices were - I cant see them justifying pricing it any higher

having read the thread title, I thought the op had information! lol
I think they will be £450+, but initially, around £500,
remember the 9800gx2 when it came out? that wasn't even new tech, just 2 underclocked gts's stuck together, at least this is going to 55nm
