8800 gt shortage?

freeboy · Nov 15, 2007

well, in an emergency, u could by someones, I saw abunch off pricegrabber and anouther guy here selling two for almost 700.00
I pounded EH and the boards, and foue about five hours one canadian site had some.. thanks to these boards I'll get mine next week. Good luck. fyi, for those not in a hurry, msi at one place 242.00 free shipping (states) and no tax.My personnal choice would be xfx due to a "double " warenty transferable lifetime warenty. I bought a Galaxy "white box" lol. So virgin they did not even have time to get specs on the box and the "OK" states in the add 600 2000 which I am sure is off.. I have seen some GREAT oc'ing results at Xtream, core over 700, mem over 1200 and shaders at over 800?

Steve, what resolution are you going to run Crysis at?

Have you any interest in future SLI or Tri-SLI?

You have an SLI capable board I am assuming. Why didn't you just buy another GTX....

1680x1050

Of course I would SLI them, I would had bought two of them but -alas- there was none. I don't think that GTs are tri-SLI capable since they only have one SLI bridge.

Firstly by selling a GTX you can buy two GTs with 50 bucks more, secondly GTs have less power requirements so they can both reach a lot higher clocks than GTXs (I hear 700/1750/1000 is very possible) AND they won't stress my PSU like two GTXs would, it's a win-win scenario for me (it was).

Even so, I think tri-SLI is a bit of an overkill, except if you're playing at 25x16 resolutions...

i've got 3 8800gt superclocked cards and spent $937 to get them. all 3 can run 740mhz core, 2000mhz mem. very nice!!! i haven't had any problem cooling them either, although im gonna get 3 zalman vf900's to keep them cooler.

i haven't had time to play with them yet. i work 18 hours a day. i've heard that the 167.10 driver(that is soon to be released) is the first to support tri-sli. i have not been able to enable it in the 169.09 driver yet. let me know if there's something im missing.

Back on topic, and an excuse for me to vent :banghead:

I had the following on my OcUK online account:

ETA 14th November.

Later it was changed to ETA 16th November.

Now it got changed to ETA overdue.

I wonder what they mean by overdue (english is not my main language), I mean is it going to arrive? Why haven't they put a date now? :mad:

Does it mean they don't know when they're arriving ie they could arrive next month or does it mean that they're expecting them any moment?

Overdue means they were supposed to get them, but they didn't come in.

it means that they have given up on nvidia being able to supply enough of these cards to meet demand.. a relatively small number were released prematurely into the market simply to wreck the new ati 3800 cards launch..

if or when nvidia will be able to produce enough cards to meet demand is unknown.. so u are correct.. you might get one next week or it might be next month..

demand should be eased when folks get fed up with waiting and cancel their orders and buy the ati card instead.. but its unknown..

Well, even EVGA itself doesn't have stock... and my card's EVGA...

Hopefully the cards are taking a long time to be ready because the factories are working hard on improving the 'fan not kicking in' problem and polishing up on their quality control........... :rolleyes:

trog100 · Nov 16, 2007

from what i can gather.. all the fabs were busy working to plan.. nvidia had to order a special small batch from whoever had the spare capacity to produce em.. foxcon i think.. if the original launch date was say the 19th no more would be expecting to arrive untill the 19th or afterwards.. this is assuming the original launch date the 19th went to plan.. not guaranteed..

but.. allowing a couple of week after the 19th for demand to ease.. throw in the three weeks of back orders caused by the premature launch plus extra christmas demand and u have chaos..

these things aint gonna be readily available for quite some time.. some folks are talking holding off till the new gts arrives... but the gt fiasco will no doubt hit the gts availability..

nvidia deserve some bad press for this.. esecially if part of the plan was to hope to clear stocks of the older now over priced gts and higher range cards..

thats my take on the matter anyways for what its worth.. i could be wrong.. he he he

Why? You still only get one cards worth of 512MB of memory working for you so if a single card struggles at those resolutions because of a lack of memory.....so will SLi.

Tatty_Two · Nov 16, 2007

And my 3870 is on order! Just gotta wait for some drivers to run it.....so ATi aint too clever either :cry:

What was everyone saying when NVidia released the G80...........no vista drivers!......well ATi have no drivers for the 3870 period :eek:

trog100 · Nov 16, 2007

it will only work with the driver u get on the cd u get with the card tatty.. as u say not very clever.. there is nothing available for download.. the one u get with the card is some special pre-release beta or a modded older one..

it will work thow..
