GTX 295 available in €uroland
Following-up on Charlie's own coverage of the GTX 295, we've found that a Dutch etailer is already selling the GTX 295, just not as many as we'd like to see.
First off, it seems at least five partners (not all "first tier") are getting a shot at selling the GTX 295. These are eVGA, Asus, Zotac, Point of View and XFX. Second off, the card is selling at a whopping €499.95 (about $650 or £395 ), putting down any speculation whether they were going to launch cheaper than the previous dual-GPU cards, the GX2.
Now the poisoned apple: one of you lucky fellows - and we really do mean "one" - can go on-line to Salland.eu and buy the card if it's still there, because there's a single card on sale, and although the prices are high, it's going to be a winner-takes-all situation.
The eVGA GTX 295 on sale for said price. The e-tailer is taking the remaining brands on pre-order. µ

well its here, in limited numbers yes but at 395 pounds? thats not as costly performance wise as the article would imply against its clear rival. vanilla 4870 x2's come in around 330 up to and above 400 pounds. this card is surely faster, so its price isnt as absurd as im sure some people would like to claim.
personally i would be considering picking up one of these cut price GT280's going for about 230 pounds currently as best high end value, but if you have to have the ultimate.....it isnt as expensive as i thought it might be stacked up against 4870 X2
At the current exchange rate, a la Finiancial Times, €500 is £450 British, not such a pleasant price!
My fav. retailer that carried the gtx260c216 before anyone else scores another one here with the GTX295 launch.
Good for them.
Their resupply was also quick, I expect more to be on their way.
so it is a paper launch again. Like so many times in the past, a card that is just produced for benchmarking sites, journalists, and reaches the market in homeopathic doses so they can say they 'delivered'. Soooo unimpressed.
there listed on Newegg this site is burnt.

showing up in australia too talk about Price gouging
2 on line retailers $969.00 Aus and $1012.00 aus
bit over the top, me wait
At the current exchange rate, £395 is about 400€, so just order it from the UK when available and have it shipped to the rest of Europe :-)
Learn the difference between there, they're, and their please. You come across as an idiot when you use the wrong one.

You do understand that:
a) Austria is not Germany?
b) your definition of "plenty" = unavailable at all the etailers, except one, who has 6 units the day the card launched?
Not that I'll be getting one, but Scan have them showing as in stock. No idea of numbers, I'm sure those with more money than sense can phone up and find out.
Maybe you didn't notice that that search engine is about shops in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. And most of them ship in all Europe, so I don't really understand your concerns.
The availability is good in many shops.
