Gibbo, or anybody that knows

What is the waiting time on a XFX GeForce 7900 GTX?

ACESHIGH · 20 Mar 2006 at 14:56

With the current sale on X1900XTX cards, you could just get one of them.
A lot cheaper & same performance.

Stock is constantly arriving in small quantities which is fulfilling backorders. Wait time is no doubt approx 1-3 weeks at the moment.

Yeah if you don't fancy the 3 week wait then go for the x1900 XTX, its cheaper, and its on par with the 7900 GTX, only thing you may wan't to consider is that the x1900 XTX's consume more power, give out more heat etc..., but if thats not a problem then its definately worth getting if you don't fancy the wait as said.

Hi there

Scratch that loads more GTX's just arrived our system should adjust to back in stock shortly. Also a few more XXX 7900 GTX cards arrived and backorders shipping.

Our warehouse is hectic at the moment, were having our busiest Monday ever on record which is great because last Monday was our busiest so were having a manic March, believe it or not its actually busier here than we were at XMAS. :eek:

Yeah and he was advising him on the other options he had

They are £70 cheaper and about 1-2% slower, so I would go for that too. Available right now as well.

I didn't get any emails last Thursday when I ordered my X1900XT-X, the card still arrived the following day.
