gtx 295 scavenger hunt.

heres something funny. try to find a gtx 295 in stock. ill start you off. newegg canada and usa - out. ncix - out, tigerdirect - out. good luck. since the release of the 480, everything is gone in terms of gtx 295. is this nvidia being sneaky, or just not time for 2 series production? maybe alittle of both. only one i can find was in a combo deal requiring you to pay for an extra 150$ item. yay.

i hate to sound like a hippy...but it may be a conspiracy, if not just a cheap trick(pun) by nvidia to make more on gtx 480 and implement tesselation and direct x 11 on their cards. last i checked gtx 295s were down to about 415$ here. in benchmarks, 480 doesnt out do a 295 by much. read between the lines, or in this case , the lack of stock.

I wonder if that GTX 295 at the CompuSoft near my house is still there. BTW it was only 299 dollars, wish i had the money :'(

It's because the 200 series were Nvidia's old cards.

Just like it is hard to find 4000 series cards. (Specifically the 4890)
