the thing is they only want to clear the stock of 5870 as 6950 and 6970 coming and nobody will buy 5870 when they come so they dont care if they selling for a loss they could even sell them for 100£ ~ 150£.
they probably selling it now at 100 £ so i will be not surprise if ocuk will lover them even lower maybe when 69** come out they will lover them for 150 £
edit: i seen that price change from 187 to 179
do they even have voltage control ?
Thats rubbish!
I have 6950 and 6970 stock shipping and I've paid for it.
I can tell you now the pricing will be:-
6950 @ £270 - £300 Inc. VAT
6970 @ £360 - £400 inc. VAT
I have lots en-route.
Now the 5870's are sub £200, thats £100 cheaper than a 6950 and same price as a 6870.
People will and are buying 5870's now they are sub £200 because at sub £200 there is no faster card.
5870 won't be going £150 or lower, what would be the point, as then 6850/6870 would not sell.
Plus if you think 69xx cards are gonna be £200 then think again and look at my pricing above, again use common sense, why would 6950 be same price as a 6870?
6950 competes with GTX 570/480 and is priced similar.
6970 competes with GTX 580 and is priced similar.
