Only £143.99 inc VAT.

ORDER NOW







Our competitors are all around or above £200 for this same card, were over £60 cheaper, in percentage terms that is nearly 50%, yes OcUK nearly 50% cheaper. THIS PRICE IS PRE-ORDER ONLY and stock arrives Friday, on Friday we shall increase the price by approx £10-£15 still making us over 30% cheaper than anywhere else or a good £40-£50.

 

[Gibbo]

damn, how long is this going to be on? i want another

Until Friday, then price will increase to circa £159.99 Inc. VAT, so still very cheap.

 

[Gibbo]

Very tempting offer but what is the difference in speed between this and the 480 (which I have already got on order). I tend too feel that sticking with the 480 is going to be the better idea unless of course the 470 is really close in price

The 480 is faster and can be overclocked well.

The 470 MSI is quieter and runs cooler and overclocks too. But outright speed wise the 480 is faster and can also be clocked.

Just so you know I think that Gibbo has got another 480 deal in the horizon, MSI 480s for £179.99 inc VAT. I saw those in the website this morning when the speculation was rife. I reckon they will go live when the Asus 480 deal ends.

Incorrect!

You saw MSI 480 in our clearance section. I have no deal on any other GTX 480 from any other vendor or anything in the pipeline. So your wrong sorry.
If you look in our clearance section you will see a few graphics cards including a few GTX 480's at £179, but they are not new stock.

 

[Gibbo]

Another question, is this card a reference design. To maybe watercool later on?

I am not sure sorry, I'd have thought not as I know MSI make a lot of modifications to the card to make it as good as it is. But better to ask someone who already has one.

 

[Gibbo]

There were 10+ of them this morning. Did they all go in 10 minutes?
I mean, I don't care mate, you do a good job getting the offers in and I usually buy from you!

Our B-Grade/Clearance lines sometimes has issues with stock levels, you will see there is a few 10+ clearance line wheras there really is not, unfortunately its a bug in the system, hence there was like 1-2 which are now sold and gone.

But as I said no more 480 deals in the pipeline, we've done the 470 deal with MSI.

 

[Gibbo]

You've already proved you're incapable of making a decision. Get out!

I think I may just cancel my 560SOC order for this card - the extra £90 just doesn't justify the additional performance of the 560 tbh.

To be honest I know it means us loosing the sale of the more expensive and more profitable GTX 560 but I'd also advice the GTX 480 instead as its simply far better value for money.

 

[Gibbo]

Gibbo - how many are you getting?

1000 units, but 560 have been sold already, as we sold 300 in one go, expected to have sold out very quickly and the price is going up Friday. So you want one at this price you gotta pre-order.

 

[Gibbo]

MSI seems to give you guys some exclusive deals. =)

As do Asus and many other vendors.

 

[Gibbo]

what would be great is if OCUK got them in a day early so could post out for a friday delivery. Quite fancy having it for this weekend

Were working on it for you.

 

[Gibbo]

Hi there

Just over 24hrs left to get one of these at this price.

 

[Gibbo]

what's the odds of them coming in today mate?

There on a truck coming from Netherlands, might get here, could be tomorrow.

 

[Gibbo]

What are the chances of a similar deal on the Gigabyte SOC version appearing in the near future?

Seems unlikely.

You see 470 and 480 are EOL, most manufacturers have none left.

 

[Gibbo]

Hi there

This one is going back up in price at 10am, guys, so consider the next hour plus HAPPY HOUR!

 

[Gibbo]

Come on Gibbo!

No more drops, like I said it was a one off.
