Probably a mistake, but PNY GeForce 6800 GT for $330

Saw this on a HardOCP thread, so if it's a mistake, the glut of HardOCP'ers ordering it will alert them real quick. Still $330 for a card that's hard to find under $450 is frickin' amazing.

here's the link.

EDIT: One thing, though, is that if it's not fake, you might have to wait a while before they get it, and the fact that it was on HardOCP guarantees that they'll go in and out of stock several times just satisfying the HardOCP preorders.

GT is midsize. The Ultra and Ultra Extreme (IIRC) are the higher 400 to 500 dollar cards. 6800 standard is the lowest.

Not quite. 6800 standard is the lower end of the high performance niche at $300. The GT is the real enthusiast card at $400. The Ultra offers almost no increase in performance over the GT and retails at $500. The Ultra Extreme exists only on paper and in severely limited quantities.

I said $450 because quantities are so limited that all the stores are price gouging. I've seen a few places that were selling for MSRP, but most places were charging much more.
