Hi there


As the title suggest, we have an amazing deal on the OcUK 8800 GT's. They are a mixture of ECS, Pallit and Expert Vision cards but all seemed to be based on reference design with varying coolers but we can't guarantee which particular one will ship:-

Hi there

Its against the rules to ask for competitor pricing or even hinting!

However I've priced the card so OcUK should be the cheapest around or on par with the cheapest thats for sure. :)
 
Sounds great :) Love the price, but not so sure about the lottery of different card makers. Has anyone had experience of this card that they can share please? :)
 
That is truly a deal to end all deals, what an amazing price. I'm almost tempted to build a 2nd rig arround one for when my mates are round for some co-op or LAN fest :D

HI there

All three different cards are fine as we've had them all in action and they all come with the relevant cables and dongles too. Also anyone buying them in pairs will get two identical cards. :)

Won't it just kill 9600GT sales?

*sigh* My 8800GT value has just further depreciated by £10.

HI there

Nope as we have 9600 GT 512MB GDDR3 from now only £92.99+VAT and those are absolutely flying out too as its a great little card for the money. :)

Not that you're trying to tempt me into getting two instead of one, eh? :P Unfortunately it doesn't come with a free 24" monitor so I'll have to just stick with one and a 17" monitor :P

Thanks for the quick response.
 
ECS - crap coolers (look cheap, don't do a great job) and don't look the best build quality (capacitors aren't the highest grade ever) but in reality they seem to take a pounding without breaking. Not seen anyone recording a high level of returns down the line.

Pallit and Expert Vision are generally pretty similiar - they tend to use a cooler with radiating black vanes with the fan inside the center - build quality seems good, cooler works a treat and then some. They won't last forever - but they should give a good 2 years minimum.

Was quite tempted as I recently picked up one 8800GT for £126 all inc. and SLI is tempting me - but I'm tired of pulling coolers off the ECS cards and you can guess which I'd end up with :(

It's getting easier and easier to justify the extra money over a 3870XT now.

Hopefully if I can hold out a little longer the price may fall another £10 or so. And then there will be no way for me to say no!

I can't do anything just yet anyway as the funds are still yet to arive :(. Got a full system being built in the next month or two, so I'll probably just wait till then, see what the best is.

One question, do the 8800gts, or 3870XTs come with DVI to VGA adapters?
