Interesting, no listings in the UK yet but if it's selling for $149.99 it should work out to ~£130/£120. Hopefully Tom will have a review but given how busy he is at the moment it probably wont be any time soon.

I think they put em on sale early by mistake, every site says on sale thursday

looks like the 550 ti are dropping in price saw one for 135 instead of 150

Bit tech showed the 6790 at stock holding its own with the 550Ti, but at higher res and AA the 6790 definitely wins.

So when the custom editions come out I would expect the 6790 to be better.

yea most benchmarks i saw the 6790 was ahead of the 550ti and 5770 but right under the 460 so they definitely need to lower prices cheapest 460 on newegg is 149.99
