DE-Stocking of GraphicCards Starting.

[shamus21]

Just a quick one been looking around at ATI & Nvida Card prices, They are now coming down in price bit by bit every few days now same thing happened at this time for last few years now. So check around the web shops before placing order better still wait a few weeks for stocks to level out.

whys that agent ?


i had also noticed there goin cheap, pc world had some 5900s for 95, and now i see another online retailer doin em for 117, v good prices for what they can do

shame they sold out

cos agent is releasing his own secret graphics card which has the power of 46 radeon 9800 pros coupled together. either that or maybe some other manufacturer will be releasing more cards then (doom3/hl2/stalker/farcry ? time). further driving down prices..

Aye, Ive heard rumors of something happening around then, which should cause a nice drop due to a little price war

We'll have to wait and see if it does happen though !

i should think the price drop around feb time will be the last one due to the new cards coming out. i expect the rad 9800 pro to be around 159.00 180.. mark by then i rember the 9700 were hitting same sort of levels.
Rads with R420 Core first stepping, march - april time, around £400.00 mark .

Don`t no if this links been posted before (http://endian.net/details.asp?ItemNo=3906)
but its got a lot of info on the ATI new GF Cores + all the Links you could ever need.

Also XGI has just joined the fray in the 'top end' VGA market with their 'Volari' and if this proves to be successful (early reviews look very dodgy) then it might have an impact on prices. Certainly we need this two horse race to be joined by another contender.

boy i was not far off on my thread komplett drop rad pro lite (no Games) to £185.00 . Out of stock now but on back order. things are moving fast.
