Now if these are listed for a MSRP of what they are quoting, just think what the e-tailers/retailers are going to do with these based on what they are currently doing to the last releases.

Nvidia delays GeForce 8800GTS

Monica Chen, Taipei; Joseph Tsai, DIGITIMES [Tuesday 27 November 2007]

Nvidia has postponed its upcoming GeForce 8800GTS GPU from the original launch date of November 19 to December 11, according to sources at graphics card makers.

The new GeForce 8800GTS 512MB cards will replace the previous generation GeForce 8800GTS 640MB cards with a 65nm process GPU, supporting PCI Express 2.0, HDMI and PureVideo Gen2. The GPU will have 128 streaming processors, 970MHz GDDR3 memory frequency, 650MHz core frequency and a maximum TDP of 140W, according to the sources.

Since the G92 graphics chip, on which the GeForce 8800GTS is based, has shown good performance after overclocking in the recently launch 8800GT series cards, several graphics card makers is planning to launch overclocked versions of the 8800GTS to boost demand.

GeForce 8800GTS 512MB cards are expected to be priced around US$299-349.

Hopefully, that'll drive the 8800GT cards down a bit, but I doubt it.

I honestly don't see the prices of any of the new cards coming down until the next "REAL" next generation (9XXX series) cards are released. Not during the Christmas holidays anyways, all the retail folks are out to make every penny they can off of folks, and the short supply isn't helping out at all either.....................
