heh.
See the pricing on this card. its gona be well beyond $500 for starters. Its still not the top of the line from 7xxx series. THe flagship will be released after R520.
And AGP 6800GT is already at $300 mark in US. It still above 20k here. Thats tells you everything. Prices are not dropping any time soon.
And 7xxx mainstream card is also few months away atleast.
Nvidia has done their prime business already with 6800GT. Now they will reduce the 6800GT to $300 mark with 7800 in market. It worked out preety well for Nvidia.
And people still bought 6800GT for SLI and still buy them in near future to complete their SLI setup.
X800XL came little too late in the market. Known for poor oc without modding.I am sure its this next month or so we will see 6800GT prices tumbling. Not too low though. Around $300 mark.
Oh i should have mentioned i was talking about pci-e prices Pci-e prices are still very much arnd the 350$ + mark for the 6800GT while the x800-xl is arnd 280-290$.
