European Geforce 8800 GTX costs €560+

Many etailers already started accepting the pre-orders and we don't blame them as the card is in the channel and it should launch in some forty eight hours.

A Dutch reader pinged us about availability of the Asus Nvidia EN8888GTX (PCI-E) card for € 585.00 inclusive B.T.W, that is a Dutch version of VAT. You can get it here.

Germans and Austrians can pre-order these cards for even less money. We found Asus, Gigabyte and Sparkle cards listed for pre-orders.

An Asus EN8800GTS/HTDP, GeForce 8800 GTS, 640MB GDDR3, 2x DVI, TV-out, PCIe (90-C3CFQ0-NUAY00T) can be pre-ordered for €430+ but you are warned that you have to wait for the cards.

An Asus EN8800GTX/HTDP, GeForce 8800 GTX, 768MB GDDR3, 2x DVI, TV-out, PCIe (90-C3CFP0-PUAY00T) is listed for €560 - or more.

Gigabyte's GeForce 8800 GTS, 640MB GDDR3, 2x DVI, TV-out, PCIe (GV-NX88S640H-RH) starts at €570 or more while Gigabyte GeForce 8800 GTX, 768MB GDDR3, 2x DVI, TV-out, PCIe (GV-NX88X768H-RH) starts at €600.

Sparkle GeForce 8800 GTS, 640MB GDDR3, 2x DVI, TV-out, PCIe (SF-PX88GTS) starts at €489.00 and the last Sparkle GeForce 8800 GTX, 768MB GDDR3, 2x DVI, TV-out, PCIe (SF-PX88GTX) starts at €589.00.

You can find these cards here at least before Nvidia force them down.

The Geforce 8800 GTX will be expensive, still cheaper than we expected. You can check here what do you actually get for the money. Looks like a decent high end buyout to me.

Before we forget all the cards listed so far are clocked at the same clocks where 8800 GTX works at 575MHz core and 1800MHz memory 128 Shaders at 1.35GHz and 384-bit memory support and GTS has 500MHz clock, 1600MHz GDDR 3 memory support rather unusual 320-bit memory interface, 96 Shaders at 1200MHz. µ
