Group buy of NV20 Cards???

[abracadabra1]

I'm sure lots of people are interested in purchasing the NV20 when it debuts sometimes in december. Would anyone happen to have any connections to which we could use to drop the outrageous price of 500 to something more reasonable like 300 or 350?
i doubt that this is possible but would like to know about how much price drop can we expect in a large group buy.
anyone interested btw?

P.S. i know it's early...but hey, planning is everything

anyhoo, doubtful on the price drop

Hey, I'm down for that!

I'd try to contact Quino or Untamo, since they seem to be the guys with the connections. Then again, I'm about to incorporate myself, so I'll have reseller credentials to buy at wholesale.

Hmm... if we're going to be paying so much for a new card that might be buggy, I'd definitely want a warranty with the purchase.

I'd talk to Decoy.

the nv20 isnt coming out in december, and when it does come out expect it to be sub 300

Don't we have to wait for Direct X 8 before the NV20 comes out? And won't DX8 be delayed until the X-Box has it's specs set in stone for the developers? I'd expect everything to be delayed past December.

Anyway, you have to have the games that are going to stress vid cards enough that the Geforce 2 GTS is looking a little slow or feature-poor. And that's probably a long, long ways off. Just my thoughts.

direct x8 has been leaked(it can be downloaded already)...it will officialy be out before release of NV20

Nvidia has already said NV20 won't be out untill Spring and I would suspect late spring at the earliest.

Remember folks, they're putting most of their resources into X-Box development.

If any of you have read the recent voodooextreme interview with carmack, according to carmack, only the most powerful video cards now will be able to play doom3 with all features with decent frame rates. So when the card comes, I'm sure the games will follow!

Btw, count me in on a group buy if/when it happens!
