I was making the assumption that if nvidia lowered they're prices then it would impact on ATi sales. Also, Nvidia have had to drop they're prices a lot recently to compete and they've got 70% market share.

Well it doesn't matter what it is that impacts on the sales, all i've said is that if the demand is still there, the price will stay up. They aren't going to just decide to drop it because 'supply is good' as was originally suggested. OcUK aren't going to decide 'hey, we've got a steady supply of these now, lets drop the price £50' :p

If the demand drops, then the price will drop, whether that is down to nVidia slashing prices or just other retailers compensating for their own lower demands etc.

I'm still finding it hard to believe that this guy who is "high up" in Sapphire would potentially risk his job by breaking an NDA to give you info.

The fact that you have "quoted" an email means nothing because you could have written that yourself - screenprint and post the email for us all to see, you've been posting up images easy enough, so why not the email? Anyway, it doesn't look or sound like the type of language a "high up" individual would use.

I still think that the story is baloney. Plus there are references to the cards coming with a Dirt 2 coupon & Battlefields game on other forums a few days before you posted your exclusive news.

Don't be offended that I don't believe you, it doesn't really matter.

You sound bitter because i was right on the money. And no. I will not post the email so people can see who he is and then get him into trouble. And it wasn't made up as ocuk is the only computer forum i browse on. If there was reference to this then why didn't others post this info up?

You can always blank out the name - all he wants is the email and the date sent showing.

Well thanks for that Captain Obvious but I fail to see how that means retailers will drop 5870 prices when they get good supply if they're still selling at full price? If people are buying them happily at £320 (for example) then why would they drop that?

They'll drop it when demand slows and not a moment before.

Are you being deliberately dense?

You said prices will drop when they have good supply.

I said that was wishful thinking, as long as demand is high the price will stay high to match.

You disagreed and started waffling about EOL stuff. :confused:
 
When will the cards be up for sale tonight or tomorrow?

Not 'til next Monday mate - check back then. In fact, I'll personally PM you when they come in stock - how's that?
