We are starting to really see a dry up of Ti4600s. Even the MSI Ti4600 from last month seems to have vanished. Obviously, some GeForce4's are being relabeled as Ti4x00-8x or Ti4800, but it looks like for the most part resellers are dumping their NVIDIA inventory.

We should see the first GeForce FX cards around Feb. 3rd or 4th, so we can expect any price protection on the GeForce4 line to dissolve. There have been an awful lot of production problems getting the FX card to market, and obviously no one anticipated this long of a wait. There is also rumor in the industry of some 'creative' marketing approaches being taken by NVIDIA. Our sources say that GeForce FX cards won't hit the full scale online market until after the Chinese New Year. We will just have to wait a few weeks and find out!
