It's listed as out of stock, with ETA 11/27/2007.
BTW, I think American customers have to order through NCIXUS.Com in American
dollars.

Good find! Funny, the Newegg page says 1 year warranty
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814129100
but the VisionTek site says limited lifetime warranty.
http://www.visiontek.com/teksupport/warranty/limited_warranty.html
They are based in Illinois, which looks good for RMA service. I am looking
at their web site for more RMA info but see none. I imagine you have to
write the tech support directly. Some posters on their forum mention RMA'ing
cards. Does anyone have any RMA experience with this company?
This is good news for ATI fans. Since ATI dropped warranty from 3 years to 1
year, I have stopped buying ATI cards. The ATI partners are not based in US
and only offer "return to place of purchase" support. Lately I have only
been buying eVGA, XFX or BFG cards but will seriously consider a VisionTek
HD 3870.

I just spotted this card at FRYS, under Diamond for $229 with a $20 rebate.

Yes, they are out of stock too.
This price from Newegg can't stand. What is going on with Newegg?

Visiontek has been offering lifetime warranties since the Geforce2 days (the
company was a large mfr of nVidia reference boards, supplying other vendors
like Elsa). BFGTech was founded by exiled Visiontek executives.

$219 was the Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price but the few they had sold
out quickly at that price.

It's not price fixing, it's supply and demand. Supply is low, demand is
high, prices go up. They know people will pay it, so they make more
money while they can. It's called capitalism. >> Stay informed about: Newegg has 5 different HD 3870's and they are all out of s.. |

Or it could be that crude oil is around $100/bbl, the dollar is
down... a lot. The price increases may be the new exchange rates
caused by devalued dollars. Most of the electronics stuff is from Asia
