Newegg lowers prices of 8800gt

[Puffnstuff]

Hey guys check out the new prices at newegg right now. The xfx reference card is now $209.99 with $6.99 3 day shipping. Looks like we might be seeing some moderation in prices which would also indicate that the channel is about to get supplied.

Those are 256mb cards :thumbsdown:

 

[Puffnstuff]

Well yes the lowest priced cards are the 256mb versions however notice that the 512mb versions are also drifting downward as well. My order with dell for the 512mb cards for $207 will stay in place unless major retailers slash prices before dell fills it.

I don't see any 256 MB 8800GTs...

There are no 256MB 8800GT's in that link. Maybe the web pages haven't propagated to all newegg servers yet. So some see it, and some don't depending on which server DNS resolve takes you to.

 

[Bateluer]

I seem two 256MB 8800GTs in the OPs link.

the 512mb versions have not shifted at all in price since last week. at least at newegg, zzf or clubit.

Maybe I'm looking at the wrong card but wasn't that bfg $319 several days ago?

For example...

I agree though. Big :thumbsdown:

What happened to $150 for the 256 MB and $200 for the 512 MB? We're talking like 75% price gouging here!

 

[easp]

I'm not seeing any 256MB cards in the overall listing, again, even though I can follow direct links that show the cards are in stock. Annoying.

In any case, I'm hoping that the fact that they are willing to use chips to build the lower end cards mean that supplies are improving. Maybe vendors won't be able to price gouge so much.

In the mean time, MWave has the stock card 512 from PNY in stock for $259 (+~8 shipping to Seattle)
