XFX seems to have two versions of this card. The "XXX Edition" is the overclocked (580/1.73) that most vendors seem to be selling. They also have the regular (550/1.7) version, so pay attention to the fine print before you pull your triggers. More info here.

Make sure you're checking these e-tailers Reseller Ratings before making any moves as well.

Yeah, everyone is selling out pretty quickly so if you find them in stock, better not think about it, just click that order button.

No SKUs seem to be in for Newegg or Mwave at the moment. I figure this'll change by the end of the day.

808.00 after tax and shipping

[Ninjaman09]

Yeah I'm very disappointed to see Newegg gouging like that.

Got a link to the BFG at the Egg? Search isn't yielding results.

Yeah, I'm sitting at the submit button now trying to decide what to do since I don't know the status of my other order. $699 didn't bother me much but someone selling them for $100 over retail, does.

BFG: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814143044

XFX: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814150119

You have to go to the video card section, choose 7800GTX as the GPU and 512M as the memory size. If you tried just searching the site for 7800 + 512 or something like that, it won't turn up anything (or it didn't for me anyway).

Price is $749 each currently (at Newegg).

I was about to pull trigger but I really won't be able to afford it for another month,actually being broke right now may be a blessing!
