When Nvidia released the Geforce 8800GT it was a god send for price/performance. The MSRP at $249.99 for the 512mb version and $199.99 for the 256mb version, which is currently unreleased. Great prices except for one thing, supply. Nvidia is not meeting supply demands causing the price for these cards to shoot past $300.00 and averaging around $325.00. There are eleven different versions of this card on Newegg and all eleven are sold out. Personally I was planning on upgrading from my aging 7600gt but now with prices above $300 I can't bring myself around to it even if I can find one. Others are reasoning their purchase by explaining how the 8800GT commonly beats out the 8800 GTS 640mb which costs around $400.
For me, I will be waiting until the price starts coming back down.
