You mean THESE?

@$350-400, yea give it a few weeks, and a few reviews. initial prices are always high to begin with, so dont dive in just yet, well, at least not until some reviews drop.

Amd should price dropped the 7950 when they release the 'with boost' edition with its slight overclocks, this should compete and drop the 660 prices, but the initial grab prices will be high. The benefit should be that 670 prices drop if the performance of the 660ti is close to it.

Seem to have vanished from PCCG now. Selling them too early maybe?

Edit: And now one's back again when there were 2 earlier. Confusing website is confusing.

Also moar!

Compusa reported to have dropped the cards on their site, prices between $300-400 so upwards of $299 on a us store, sigh

Also, someone has put up reviews/bench's of the Galaxy 660ti, makes for some interesting viewing...

There were three when I first checked this morning. There was an ASUS and a Gigabyte as well as the Galaxy one that is still up. The Gigabyte was up around 380 and the ASUS was 400ish.

Guru3d review up including sli2-3way benchmarks

Also Anandtech's review is up, very interesting points made

Staticice.com.auis putting price points from ~$360-$440

And if your looking to get from overseas, Amazon is selling fast from the rrp($299) to ~$330 WITH borderlands2

=)

Also Sane, dunno about supply problems, the inital 670/680 yes there was, but things have moved on since then, and since the 660ti is a cut-down 670 supply should be fairly decent. Launch prices are always high, as is demand for this card.

I ordered some 670s yesterday.

660s do like nice, but running at 2560x1600 I'm happy to have the extra 5-10 fps that the 670s bring.

hahaha i just noticed you post in the purchases thread.... 670 prices should drop, but due to the larger bandwidth the higher res's should display a bit better...

More 660Ti's are up on PCCG's website.

This Gigabyte one looks real nice and comes with 2 case fans if bought from PCCG.

I saw that one up earlier today for $379, without the 2 free fans.

that seems a bit dodgy to charge $20 more and get "free" gifts...

The EVGA ones aren't too bad, that gigabyte one, i think originally it was the windforce one now its the windforce OC which would explain the pricing difference, PCCG might have gotten their stock part wrong and priced for the wrong card.

debating if Amazon purchase would be more beneficial, borderlands2 and greater selection, Also, EVGA might be releasing a 4gb version....
