GTX 680's availability

So I'm trying to get my hands on one, but I can't find anywhere that isn't out of stock or super overpriced. Anyone know when places like Newegg or Amazon will get more? Or anywhere that has it in stock currently? Everytime I see it in stock I run to grab my credit card only to find it's out of stock when I get back :(

They're selling like hot cakes in most places so all you can really do is wait for a break in the market. Or buy a pricey one. I'd say just wait it out a little and let them restock properly.

And that very mindset is why the 7970 hasn't dropped in price yet :P

Still, I would wait a while anyway because prices of either will drop soon enough

It's not gonna be one of THOSE threads is it? :?

Tigerdirect might have some in stock, Just got mine in the mail yesterday. :cool:

3/22 is paper launch, so it went out fast, 4/3 will be availble everywhere according to Nvidia's retailers in NA. suggest you per-oder it online. I know mine is coming in a week.

Where'd you pre-order from?

[QUOTE="KABCOOL"][QUOTE="Silicel1"] Or you could always get a 7970 ;)seanmcloughlin

I did not really want one, but i pulled the trigger on a Galaxy GTX680 from New Egg anyway. I just kept refreshing my browser until i got lucky and one showed up as available. I dont know the Galaxy brand, i hope it is the same as all the others. I will get it on Wednesday.

I've been trying to get a second card but can't. I finally decided to return my 680 and wait to preorder a 690. All I need is one.

i was gonna buy one as an impulse buy i guess... but i also noticed all my regular sellers were out of stock.... so I'll just wait a few weeks and check back on the situation... cheapest i saw was 500 canadian on them.

This is a pretty clear indication that:

1)The 680 price is not in line with its market value

2)The 680 is scarce as hell

These things are true. What also seems apparent is that Nvidia is probably making a killing on each of these that they sell at the current price. This is really their midrange chip, with over a million less transistors than HD7970.. yet it outperforms it. I can't wait to see what the true high-end chip can do.

law of supply and demand. There aren't enough 680s to go around so the price goes up

I thought they said supplies would flow good in april... Anywho, the prices will go back down at 499$ soon I hope ?jack00

Depends. If you can wait.. then yeah.. I would recommend waiting for the 7xx just to see what they have to offer. If I didn't already have a GTX 580, I would have picked up the GTX 680 or two. If you already have a good GPU, then wait. Elann2008

I don't think I can wait, leaving my PC rendering at night turns my room into an oven :P
