GeForce FX even more delayed....

Personally the only thing im anticipating about the geforce fx is that it will lower prices on other cards .

Ouch that's a bummer. Here's another one, according to ActionTrip the card will be selling for 692 Euros ($700). Heres what they had to say, "According to the online store we mentioned in this news-story, the first graphics cards on the latest VPU from NVIDIA will appear only in late February or even early March. The Club3D graphics card is equipped with D-Sub, DVI-I and TV-Out connectors. It features 256MB of DDR-II SDRAM and the GeForce FX 5800 Ultra VPU running probably at 1000/500MHz respectively. Currently the product is priced at 692 Euro. (which is around $700 bucks)

Wait, wait, wait... $700 dollars for a video card?! That is ridiculous. Weren't US stores taking pre-orders for like $400 bucks? What gives?"

Wow, so does that like suck, or what!!!

I can't imagine anyone other than millionares buying something that expensive.

You can preorder a 128MB model from Best Buy for $400. Says it'll ship on March 9th.

People were saying this about the Geforce 1 when it debuted at 300+ dollars prices. You can clearly see the trend in graphics vs capital here. Note this is not inflation, but just plain higher prices, repspectively.

Well, this is getting ludicrous!

The 9700pro GF4 ti46 etc started at 4-500$, but dropped to a lower price after just a short time... They are still expensive, but since it's the latest offerings from ATI and Nvidia, that's expected...

But retailing a card for 700$, that's just crazy...
The only one's who'll be buying that have either too much money, or are so in love with Nvidia, they'd buy the card even if they have to sell their house.....

Allthough, for Nvidia, it might not be that important to sell the cards in volume, but just to get back the speed king title... As long as they've got that, people will buy Nvidia, since "Hey, they got the fastest card on the market, that must mean they've got the best cards overall..."

anyone who jumps out straight away when these cards become available is either very rich or very stupid. but it should lower the prices of high end geforce 4 cards which is good news for all, and they will eventually drop to a more realistic price.

It's errie when you think about it. Voodoo 5 was delayed a lot (as GeForce FX seemingly is), now from Pers work we see GeForce FX uses some internal power connector like Voodoo 5 as well. Just the start of bad omens?

Naa I wouldnt think of it like that Thomas.

My dad doesn't have a job and my mom works at the school district. Yeah, they make so much money as to buy me a $700 video card. I cannot remember the last time my mom buying me something extraneous beyond a holiday present. Not really a 'nice one' agissi since I pay for just about everything of mine out of my own pocket. Watch as I never get an FX and stick with my 8500 for a long time since I'm playing sports instead of working.
