£229.99 for a graphics card!
OK i'm not a gamer, but is that good, bad or very expensive?
I looked at a new GC for £75 & thought that was top end for me!!

 

[V_R]

Good price.

 

[Waynos_Face]

Is about £50 cheaper than anywhere else.

Must be because the GTX265 & GTX295 are imminent.

 

[TriplexDread]

Yeah they always bring prices down bout 3months or so before new release to try and get shut of older stock

Even that price is ok i cant cant afford it so im gonna go cry and stick to my 9500GT :'(

 

[Belloni]

That is an awesome price for a 280, i am getting the 260 though hopefully soon, and a new SLI motherboard.

The GTX265 & GTX295 are due in the next three days IIRC.

260 = Cheapest is £212
280 = Cheapest is £229

Its a no brainer tbqfh.

Fair one, although if Belloni is gonna get an SLI mobo then personally i would get a 9800GTX+ then SLI it as they scale better than a GTX 280, GTX 260 or 280 in SLI is not worth the money.

 

[V_R]

meh, SLI is too much f-ing about, not all games like SLI, i'd rather have a good single card personally.

 

[guest_9323wk]

That’s a great price for the GTX 280. I am quite tempted by that. I have a BFG 8800GT atm how much do you reckon I would get for it on Ebay? Cost £170 12months ago.

 

[Waynos_Face]

About £70 for the reference, but upto £90 if you are lucky.

 

[V_R]

I'm hovering over the buy button...

Ok cheers mate.

 

[guest_9323wk]

lol its very tempting isn’t.

 

[V_R]

lol, the BFG is £20 more, i prefer them to Leadtek.....

Yeah me to BFG do seem to know there stuff, when ever I have had a problem they have always been really helpfull. I have never had to RMA a card back so don't really know what they returns are like I now that all there replacement cards are refurbished. as for Leadtek I have never used them. the next card I will get will be BFG.

 

[floppybootstomp]

Good price V_R

That's what I paid for my BFG GTX99800 512Mb about ten months ago

I won't be upgrading for the time being though, my card is handling everything just fine and a TV is first on the agenda anyway.

 

[Belloni]

I meant to type 280

I've always wanted SLI, just to boost my epeen don't know why lol

Such an amazing price though, bet they have had loads of sales now.

 

[V_R]

ya on the thread on the OCUK forums apparently the sales of the leadtek have gone up by something like 1000% or so....

Once they gone they gone btw, so if ya want one, get it sooner rather than later....

 

[V_R]

Ok, sod it. I've just pulled the trigger on the BFG.
