OH CRAP if that is true. :(

I feel like forever waited for computer upgrade, first it was Yorkfield in shortage then now it could be GT200 in shortage and what next? Bloomfield in shortage?

I got my money ready, if I cant grab one then I probably get a 4870 if it have good peformance faster than Geforce 8800GTX and Ultra for a few months until Nvidia sort out with 55nm GT200.

Prolly i'll wait for the 55nm refresh too.

Long life to our G80s :)

God dam it, they always figure out a way to make people pay $600+. I call this the Wii syndrome.

Hardly a problem its not like Nvidia is stopping production or anything , so unleass you are one of those people who camp on the street two weeks in advance before console is released :screwy:

I think these cards will be worth the wait (lee63)

[grey_1]

I think I'll wait and see what launch day brings myself.

Others may disagree with me but isn't a site beginning with FUD just not worth panicking over?

[shabby]

Didnt the inq say that the g80 supposed to be in short supply too?

[G-Man]

all rumors :) no way nvidia will let gtx 200 be in short supply

i think i will buy 9800GX2 over this weekend. Then step-up with EVGA. might be cheaper that way, since pretty much all stores will raise the price once this hits.

Hmm i dunno if thats a good decision ..

[slaWter]

I'm sure I'll find a 280 on day one ;)

You'll probably be paying as much for shipping costs as you would for price gouging.

Plus, I had a friend who was waiting for his 7900GT stepup for a month because it was in high demand.

I am not surprised in the least, the core is huge! yeilds are very low, so there will be a shortage and the corst will be phenomal due to the wasted cores. I would expect maybe an estimate 20,000 for the globe. You can bet the RRP of $600 will be considered cheap once these come out expect atleast $700.

[Feyy]

This is all lies, its a marketing plot to basically justify the much higher expected price they want to put on them.

Well ... I am going to hang on to my 8800GTX untill we get a Refresh (55nm). 8800GTX is getting very cheap and is very good value.... Talk about value with a 280GTX :headexplode:

Saw quite a few in stock at Newegg this morning. No 260s though.

Talk about value with a 280GTX :headexplode:Is there a current 55nm rumor? I remember Nvidia going straight from 130 to 90 skipping over 110 while ATI used 110nm for their mid range x800 (don't recall the suffix, xl maybe?), so I figured Nvidia would again skip straight to 45nm.

No, I'm not too sure I got my transistor size history correct.

About the 55nm refresh of the GT200, maybe it won't feature GDDR5:
