XFX XXX versions - limited run?

[DrEvil]

I've bought the following UEE / XXX versions over the last year, and each time when I've got to a point of considering SLI a couple of months later, the cards are no where to be seen...

7800GTX 256 UEE
7800GTX 512 XXX
7950 GX2 XXX

Just noticed the 7950 is no longer stocked by OCuk... but limited availability elsewhere it seems...

Random thought for Saturday afternoon.....

You looking at going SLi with your 7950 GX2 mate? I might know some one who has one going spare.

Ass me to MSN if you wanna know more...

the 7800 series ha snow became obsolete which is such a stupid thing to do when they still continue to make some lower models, well its their choice if they want to lose out on some of the market share

7950 XXX has probably been removed as they can't produce them like the 7900 GTX XXX, i think they could only manage about 1x a month if that, so im not suprised they gave up.

LOL - probably


Agent - thanks for the offer, tbh was going to wait to see what the results were once the drivers were out for quad SLI support. Think I'll wait for G80 now tbh (and possibly the not the XXX version! ).

Cheers, Alex

Yup the xxx editions were the true "press editions" of any graphics card ever imo, proabably about 100 people in the world with them if even.
