They usually are pretty fast about this since the general idea is whoever has the lowest price gets the most sales.

It's a great card

Really huge though. I had heard it was a PITA to put in an A900 but I had no trouble whatsoever.

decisions, decisions...

I've never been one to go "bleeding edge" on my builds. I am used to settling for the best mid range parts I can find. A competitive price on a 260 core216 ($200-$250 range) would make my upcoming GPU upgrade even more confusing. I had planned on going with a 4850, but it's looking more and more like I will be able to afford either a 260 or a 4870. I'm not complaining though, having to make these decisions is an awesome feeling
