They usually drop in price when newer models have been out for a few weeks or so. Don't expect the price to drop until nVidia's next generation cards to come out.

it will drop approx 1 year after it came on the market when the new one comes out

The G92 8800GTS is better than the GTX but I'm not sure If it's cheaper. Last time I checked it was ~350 but I haven't checked the price on a GTX lately.

What does the G92 part mean? I have always wondered that.

It's the chip used in the graphics cards.

Hope it does soon. Can't wait to get it and I have better things to spend €600 on.

The GTX has already dropped a lot, it went from $600+ USD when it game out to $450 USD which it is at now.

Longer for the Brits it seems. Everywhere I have looked in UK they're still at about £300 ~$600. We get everything after though. I'd love one myself (two even), but no way am I paying +$1200 for them!...might as well get an entire system for that.
