There was a LOT of confusion regarding pricing right up until the NDA expiry time of 1PM, probably to keep AMD guessing. We were told anywhere from £350-£429, and prices are now arriving at the top end of that. Considering that's launch day pricing (where retailers expect to shift the stock regardless), I think our estimate of £400 should be right, with perhaps some room to drop down to £350 in the future.

Pleased to see some Surround benchmarks in the mix. It's a good card, time will tell on the price front which between the GTX680 and the 7970 goes in my next system. As fast as it is in some scenarios... the only situation I'm interested in is the extremely high resolution demands of Surround.

ReplyI need to order one. Now!
7870 looks like a good sweet spot for me; think I'll plump for that when I make my mITX beast with that ASUS mobo :P
I think its time to pre order!
Still waiting for other retailers to go live.
Page 6 - have you got confirmation that it's two dual-link DVI ports? Others have reported one dual-link and one single-link... :(
very tempted to swap out my 580...... have to wait and see if they can be had for £400.
Oooooh I hate you rich buggers! Gone are the days I could do the same, the last time I did was when I swapped my 9700 Pro for a 9800 Pro lol.. :P
ON TOPIC: For once the over exaggerated hyperbole is pretty much warranted. At the top end this card is cleaning house..
thanks Harry, you've probably saved me £50.
I'm really surprised that Nvidia actually pulled through this time and have released what promises to be a roaring success.
£420 seems to be the going rate today!
There's a Palit on Aria for 399 already.
but considering original price range is £350-£429, i'd expect some wiggle room and price end up being £360 in a week or so.
(and im not around most of next week anyway, so have to wait and see)
Too much speculation on pricing from forums and review sites "predictions" leaves customers delusional.
