That NU is also agp...this means the PCI-Express cards should sit roughly the same price as their AGP counterparts. Good news for those of us who still haven't taken the plunge into PCI-E just yet and don't wanna buy a new high end card until the G80/R580's rear their ugly little 32 pipelined heads.

The 7800GT isn't being released at $499, no one would buy it. MSRP will be set at $449 and within a week you will see them at $400-$420.

not if you keep your IC7

unless you have another rig that's PCI-E we're both sh|t out of luck, nVidia is saying no AGP for 7800GTX.

but if you love your IC7 as much as i love mine, you could email eVGA and request an AGP port like i have

Don't ask why unless you want to join them.
6800GT were ~$280 weeks ago, and 6800nu are already in the $180 range.

Would you consider getting a GTX if it were only $45 more than the GT? I know it isn't super common but if you keep your eyes peeled you find GTX's NIB for $475...

If you can afford to spend $400 on a video card, you could afford to extra $100 to get top of the line.
