Does nothing for me sorry mate

Hamoodii · 3 Feb 2007 at 18:59

HOORAY!

Think I am going to buy one of these if they are about 200 quid, the R600's are going to be a tad pricey on release...

HighlandeR · 3 Feb 2007 at 19:11

£250 I reckon

8600/256 will proberly be £150-200

no way 640MB 8800GTS's are that much

Azza · 3 Feb 2007 at 19:15

$299 = £151

So I say around £180 to £200 max.

MeatLoaf · 3 Feb 2007 at 19:27

Well if it is Feb 12th then they are probably already in OcUKs warehouse

£200-£240 IMO

I am literally begging that it comes in for around then. I realllyyy REALLY REALLY want to move on from my 6200 128MB Turbo Edition than I am making do with :/

LoadsaMoney · 3 Feb 2007 at 19:53

Just have to see how much we in the good old UK get ripped off by as per usual, i cant see it being much more than £200 though, not if the 640mb is £250, has to be less than that, and they did say its coming in to x1950 XT/7900 territory, and the x1950 XT's are £162 and up.

The 640mb version can be had for £240 to £260 now. So i dont think it will be near that.

If it is like £200/£210 who carnt find £30/£40 quid and get the 640mb version?

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-052-OK

With postage that going to be 278, and if the 320MB is about 200 posted (fingers crossed) , its not going to be 30/40 quid extra

LoadsaMoney · 3 Feb 2007 at 21:08

Guys get rid of the competitor pricing, not allowed.

Massive Attack · 3 Feb 2007 at 21:22

i take it this means the 7950GTs are going to be well cheap

easyrider · 3 Feb 2007 at 22:14

This will have to be at least 80 quid cheaper than a 640mb GTS or people will not buy them.

I doubt they will come in at £175

As this will kill top end G80.

G80 SLI for 350 in the form of two 8800 GTS 320mb?

why would anyone buy a GTX?

Richdog · 3 Feb 2007 at 22:22

These will be around 210-280... i'd put money on it. I'd rather get a cheap 512MB X1900XTX than a pricey 320MB 8800GTS, that's not enough memory for a new card nowadays if you want to run the latest games with AA at high detail at anything approaching a decent resolution... especially when DX10 arrives. The cheapest 640MB GTS you can find would be a better option imo.

Depends what res you game at. For 20" widescreen owners (me) it is perfect

I am hoping it will be about the 200 mark. That will be perfect.

I run a 20" widescreen and I think you will definately notice the limitations of 320MB if you intend to game at native res with all the bells and whistles (ie: high res textures + AA) enabled. Especially with DX10 titles. Don't forget anyone buying this card now should be thinking of future games as well as the titles out now... especially now that Vista is upon us.

The card would be great for 1280*1024 though I think.

They cant be as high as £280, full blown 640mb ones are £250, if it comes out around that price everyone will just buy the 640mb one, and have double the memory for cheaper.

Remember it's generally the cheap brands with crap warranty etc are £250... the good brands with good, long warranties (BFG, EVGA etc) are often up to 30%+ more expensive. £280 would probably be a real stretch... but I can see £220-£240 being likely for the good branded cards.

BFG come in at 290
