Here in Holland the price drop is already noticed, a few stores offer it at around 369euro whereas the gtx295 is 470euro! <
And to rdyhtrh:
You know, if you look at GTX295 it's also not double as fast compared to a 8800 which is half the price... that goes for every card actually... prices rarely reflect performance.
I don't know for you, but as long as multiple gpu price won't be proportionnal with performance gain (like paying double the price for 20-30% increase...or 5% if unlucky). Yeah I know it's called higher-end. But SLI & Crossfire is just plain crap most of the time, plus there the premium for the motherboard.
you can reduce the MSRP in euros, but it won't matter since the exchange rate to the pound is so fcked now.
Prices from online shops on everything from monitors to cases have gone through the roof since xmas, due to the fcked exchange rates with dollar and euro. 2.5% lower VAT completely buried by 30% price hikes... Hmm...
ATI had better knock down the 5000 series as well, if they can't do 3D like Inqvideo can, or else AMD find themselves a piddler on the poof. Remember the eight wives of Henry the Eighth? I think not. Coincidence? Hardly. Stark raving mad, you lot. When you’re not howling at the moon... Try giving it to the chemist with a nod and a wink. Get it sorted out before I bring the full wrath of the Citizens Advice Bureau down on you! In fact if I was you I’d stop in and not touch anything electrical. Mind you it might be a gas main that goes up. So you know... Good luck with it all anyway. Favorite domestic appliance - - modesty forbids etc...
