8800 series

[Garyj881]

Are the prices going to drop at some point.

I was looking at THIS .

I currently have the X1650 which is ok i guess but i want to be ready for the likes of UT3, Crysis and Assasins Creed.

I wouldnt of thought any major prices drops are gonna be anytime soon although that is extremely good price for the card and a well worthit upgrade.

Don't look like ocuk is going to get stock of this card anytime soon

No ETA
Out of Stock

Looks like the evga 8800gts 640mb is the cheapest one they have in stock http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-017-EA&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=927

I thought with the 9800 series round the corner the 8800 series would drop in price?

I was going to hold out thats all.

The G90 chip isnt due for another 6-7 months, so the price drop isnt likely to come soon

Wonder if they will call the next ones 9800 since it the same number as an old ATI card.

I know it's all relative but I have always felt that the price difference between the GTS 640mb and the GTX was too small, and that anyone considering a GTS 640mb should save just a little bit longer and get a GTX.

Course this is referencing the OcUK/PoV brand GTX, which I guess if you like your warrentys people avoid.
I don't know, I just wish the 640 was considerably cheaper than it is.

If you fall lucky, and get a good clocking GTS 640, the difference is smaller than you think !

Unless you get lucky and get a good clocking GTX

Apparently they will, and I don't see why not.

Then after the 9800 it will be 1800. Ohhhhh spookey

I bet they go and use GeForce 10800GTX

Don't know if there is a G90 as the G92 high-end 9800 GTX and GTS are arriving November supposedly now.
