Japanese stores confirmed recently that Albatron may be the first-to-market with its Trinity GeForce 6800 Ultra graphics cards. The information published by Akiba PC Hotline claims that the first batch of such products is anticipated to arrive in the middle of the month – days from now.
An Albatron’s spokesman lately told that the company’s latest graphics cards, the GeForce 6800 and the GeForce 6800UV, will hit the shelves in Taiwan in early May, a lot earlier than NVIDIA said on the launch day of its NV40 graphics processor. Even though there are no reports about such products availability today, there is information that the add-in graphics cards are expected to arrive in days from now. Officially NVIDIA promised that its partners would deliver the GeForce 6800 Ultra-based products in late May or early June.
The GeForce 6-series of graphics processors will be available across entry-level, mainstream, performance-mainstream, high-end and, apparently, so-called ultra high-end graphics cards. The new series of NVIDIA’s graphics processors is the company’s second generation lineup of DirectX 9.0-compatible offerings that greatly leverage the feature-set of NVIDIA GeForce FX graphics chips and brings important additional caps like Shader Model 3.0 as well as great performance improvements over the previous generation hardware.
So far NVIDIA has unveiled only a $499 offering called the GeForce 6800 Ultra that is based on a 400MHz chip that integrates 16-pixel pipelines, 6 vertex pipelines as well as equipped with 256MB of GDDR3 memory at 1100MHz. Later graphics cards powered by similar graphics processors priced at $399 and $299 will be introduced.

with release prices of 550€ and a dollar to Euro ratio of 1.21 that´s almost 665$
(665-499=166$ higher)
What´s their definition of huge difference then, 400$ or more maybe????
$499 end up being £499
fun with currency conversion.. (http://www.oanda.com/convert/classic)
499 US Dollar = 279.630 British Pound (oh how i wish they'd cost this...i'm skint but i'd buy one tomorrow
499 British Pound (GBP) = 890.466 US Dollar (USD) (fun huh guys?
499 British Pound = 749.812 Euro
that's a bargain
whats the point, when 480 comes out i'm sure nvidia will have a new part too.
