What are people thinking bidding it so high? The 480 will only be about $550.

At first they said the 480 Ferbi will have 512 shader pipelines and also the price would be 679.99 retail.

Now suddenly we find out it only has 480 shader pipelines

The 480 won't be 550 bucks, Pricing will start at close to 700 dollars because of shortage. Eventually in a couple months the price will come down to 500 to 600 bones then when their new Fermi 500 is out the 480 will be 300 bones maybe less. Well see....

Oh boy 800 bid on a 295 is sad for the winner wtf,, weird...

Makes you wonder if they'll actually pay up for that card. I doubt it.

 

[SlowSpyder]

Why aren't you posting this in Hot Deals... oh, I see why. Almost $12 for shipping? Deal breaker right there.

 

[iclicku]

LOL. Didn't even bother looking at the shipping...

 

[toyota]

why would someone pay 300 bucks more than the card sells for on newegg and other etailers?

 

[llee]

because they're stupid.

Its the CO-OP Edition...

 

[iclicku]

Yeah, maybe they are perfectionists who need to buy 2 of the same exact cards for a quad SLI setup? Who knows. But one thing I DO know is that the seller got a nice profit if he gets paid.

It looks like the seller allows a 3 day money back. I bet he/she regrets that. lol

All I know is it better not looks like this, it will never fit in my case....

 

[gigahertz20]

People get into a bidding war or something and don't want to lose I guess. I doubt the winner will pay, if they know anything about prices they would just buy it off Newegg or some place and save a bunch of money.

Bloody hell! Well that explains why it runs hot then! That cooling is far from optimal

 

[nyker96]

well there's a premium to be paid to be the first proud owner of a fermi. but I wonder where did the seller get his/her hands on a fermi so early?

It's not a Fermi, it's a "lowly" GTX295.

A card that appeals to the massive female gamer market.

Its the CO-OP Edition...

And the box says you get "FREE PhysX!"

"CO-OP Edition" is just the reference single PCB version. Nothing special about it. ALL the different brands use the same reference cards provided by Nvidia.

 

[xenolith]

"Ships to: Worldwide"

This can bring in some big bidding... and some big scam artists.

hahaha...I didnt think I needed sarcasm tags.

I'd rather have 3x GTX 285 in SLI than 2x GTX 295. 4 GPUs must scale horribly. Plus that's a lot of power for "only" 896MB of RAM, as I can imagine games are gonna start using more and more memory as time goes on, as is always the case.
