New 8800 GTS price + info

^^^ The anticipation grows

MumboJumbo · 28 Nov 2007 at 16:24

The report's sources say the GeForce 8800 GTS 512 will appear on boards in the $299-349 price band - almost twice the price of AMD's recently released ATI Radeon HD 3800 series boards.

aww carp

double = 270-300 perhaps just over judging by the premiums england have to pay

Yup.. pricey.

But don't worry.. Scotland and Wales are in the same boat.. not just England!

Well since a GT should be $199 which equates to £140 here (they were for 2 hours on launch and will be again soon) and the GTS is $100 more which is £50 I would expect the cheapest vanilla card to cost no more than £200.

Which is a buit of a kick in the teeth to anybody who had to pay £200+ for an overpriced GT card.

Yes if the GT was at its true price it would be around 200 for the lowest. But its not and its unlikely it will be when the GTS comes out as the shops want to keep the premiums on as long as possible. Therefore its likely the GTS will have a hefty premium on it also and im buiying two

lol.

Price better be good on these. I've held out selling my current GTS for a GT for this new one.

Yup they will be pricey, the are gona be in the same shortage as the GT's as they are the same chips, so we'll be paying high premium prices for them just like were paying for GT's now.

I fail to see how you can claim there will be a shortage just the GT's like its a fact. Although i agree its quite likely.

AdladUK · 28 Nov 2007 at 23:53

I want one

mosnz · 29 Nov 2007 at 01:28

Do you think it could still appear the shortage of 8800 GTS(G92) in the coming week, guys??
I hope they can supply plenty of 8800 GTS(G92). My order was cancelled and waiting for the new 8800 GTS(G92)...

Really want one (with decent price)!!

Like he says, "as they are the same chips". So yes, quite likely they'll be short on stock too

Smoogels · 29 Nov 2007 at 02:47

Maybe there is a shortage of GTs because all the cores are going in the GTS.

Just a thought.

Interesting, would be nice. :cool:

Although maybe the sales of the GT would suffer because of this, if someone wanted to buy a GT but can't get one because it's hardly in stock, they might wait till the GTS releases, on the other hand I don't think that's negative for nVidia

But well... All depends on the price/performance.

I know, I'm one of them, well if I think the price is right

Can the GTS really be much better than the GT? from 112 to 128 is 14%, but the GT will overclock quite well.

Do you reckon an OC'd GT will beat/match one of the new GTS's?
