[citation][nom]megamanx00[/nom]I'm thinking that the low availability of 295s is because nVidia wants to release their rumored revised version. The new version is suppose to have two GPUs on the same PCB, like a Radeon 4870X2, instead of the two sandwich PCBs it has now. I'm sure board partners would like it if it's easier and cheaper to produce, but we'll see.[/citation]
There is low availability of 295's cause it is not profitable for Nvidia to make a 295. It is too expensive to make tem for a number of reasons - The 1 PCB model is to try to save production costs in the hope that Nvidia can produce GTX 295's without taking further losses on them.
This is all detailed on theinquirer site. Yes it is biased, but there is a lot of truth in there and most of Charlie D's predictions have come true of late.
