Geforce 3 price dropped to 399$ MSRP

[BrunoPuntzJones]

haven't seen this posted. couldn't find any hard links but was over at gotapex. on their review of the asus geforcemx card at the end was a tidbit that said the msrp had been dropped to under 400$.

<< Got|Apex? EXCLUSIVE NEWS BIT: But if you are looking for a card just for gaming, you will be better suited waiting for the GeForce3, as its price is to be dropped to $399 at retail launch, thanks to the TSMC ramp up on GeForce3 GPU's. (Confirmed info from several anonymous sources close to nVidia) >>

anyone else seen any news on this? may be a lot more affordable than previously thought.

The price seems to be getting more and more reasonable. I think it will keep dropping, though.

If it was posted yesterday it was probably just another dumb April fools joke

 

[Noriaki]

That's better....now it's getting close to what a GeForce256-DDR cost when it debuted.

 

[Oyeve]

Whats sad are all those people who paid 500+ for the GTS2 Ultra a couple of months ago.

 

[Vegito]

Cool, now I can afford the best geforce 2 till geforce 5 comes out... hahaah

 

[MichaelD]

Mmmm-hmmm. (Slingblade sound) Exactly one week after I paid $245 for my 32mb DDR GF2GTS, the MSRP was dropped to under $200. I know how those 64mb GF2GTS folks feel.

Agree w/Forcesho...LOL>!

yeah seriously. I don't think anyone should buy it still. I was completely non-impressed with the GF3. It's got a lot of potential, but I don't buy a product because of potential. When more of the GF3 line of cards come out, and the price drops, I'll start recommending it.

Right now, I'm eager to see if a Kyro II is really as good as Anand says it is.

Along with many others I'm not at all impressed with the GF3 yet. A bunch of ffeatures that will go more or less unused for a while... and by the time they are utilized we'll be seeing the next generation Nvidia card.

 

[GoldenTiger]

DEFINITELY fake.

Did anyone else find the quote very funny

It should read like this:

It seems as though many consumers didn't go for nVidia's blatant price gouging (Confirmed info from several anonymous sources close to nVidia) >>

[DARRIN]

And I just ordered my Gladiac Ultra for $345 yesterday. :frown:

 

[LeadReady]

I just ordered mine(ultra) yesterday to. grrr. However the lowest price on pricewatch is still 489. I'm sure it was a April fools joke.

 

[BFG10K]

That price is still far too high for me.
