Amazon USA has them this morning (went from 7 left to 6 left as I wrote this). Actually from Beach Audio via Amazon. XFX HD 7970 Core Edition 3GB $586 delivered. HD 7970 $586 In looking at GTX580 prices, I see that the price is actually about right (unfortunately). Its more than I'm willing to pay right now for the small improvement over my CrossFire system. We'll see what Monday brings.

Wow! Beach Audio vis Amazon just bumped the price on the last 6 cards from $586 to $627 delivered (they've just adjusted the number back to 7 remaining). I expected something like that -- but not with the first batch. These things can get expensive. I won't be playing on that field. Come on Nvidia, get your act together. We need competition

Guess i go with a 6950/70 until prices come down.? My 6950's been keeping me happy. The 2GB model does a nice job filling screen real-estate too. Plus I'm told69 cards scale pretty well, so xFire is a more viable option now. $ for $, I'd stick with the 6950.
