Shit that price is terrible, I know a couple of places you can almost get a 8800GTS 640 at that price, you can pick up the 2900XT for only about £25 more if you shop around :cry: I bet the dual GPU 2600XT dual with 2 x 512MB GDDR3 would probably be near to the pro's performance and even that can be got in the UK for £150.......seems we lose on price again, thats the equivilent of way over $400!!!!

Lets hope the 2900gt can come through for us then. I personally will refuse to pay >$200 for a video card. To me even $200 is absurd (not sure what the £ equivalent is). If the 2900gt isn't under or very close to $200, I sure hope that the 2650 will come through at about $150-165.

i just hope that now theres cards competing at the 320mb 8800's price, well see both cards dropping in price over the next month or two, £120-130 for either card would be great, i'd buy one of each

EDIT: £148 at Ebuyer now (powercolour 512mb) http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/132737

well with the Release of the 2900 Pro to compete with the GTS 320, its going to lower the GTS Price, which will spur more people to buy the GTS, unless if the Pro manages to stay ahead in Graphics Crunching and Cooling. I grabbed the x1950 Pro because it is IMO an excellent board, i also read reviews etc.
