yeah it goes in and out of stock quite a bit. I could have easily bought one by now if I really wanted to.
well the gtx680 is about 50% faster than my gtx570 so that is the very minimum increase I would want to go with. if the gk104 would have been released as a mid range card(as originally intended) at mid range price then of course I would have upgraded to it. I cannot justify spending 500 bucks for a gtx680 video card though so its looks like I will be staying put for now.Waiting for the gtx670?:biggrin:

Thats a massive drop and am expecting it to happen worldwide (eventually) including in the usa which in turn will make the 680`s be in stock. (Good news for AMD & nvidia)
PS here’s to hoping it happens ASAP.
That seems unlikely. Samsung just started producing 32nm chips. They're half a node behind TSMC.I heard Samsung.
I got like a week before my price protection expires, hopefully it happens soon. EDIT: checked on the prices, why is this HD 7970 listed for $640 :O http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...679&CatId=7387
EDIT #2: My price protection expired but that is the same card I bought for $560 a month ago. Odd.
Glad I bought our GTX 680 day 1.
Think we are waiting for nVidia to actually have some cards in stock before we can start a price war. Maybe AMD is losing patience with nVidia and is going at it alone or current prices should have never been! I dont know but I think waiting a week or so isnt such a bad idea.
I`ve seen prices fluctuate quite a bit even on current/release day for the 7970, so its never been up-to AMD am guessing
The major etailers aren't charging ridiculous prices. You're being confused by third party sellers through amazon. Just ignore those like they don't exist. When amazon gets them in stock, they're MSRP (or at most $10 or so over).
Anyone paying MSRP isn't paying too much they're a fool!
Yes $50 over MSRP is ridiculous.
Those prices hundreds of dollars above MSRP are ludicrous prices.
No confusion at all! :biggrin:
