What if prices drop further after the gts comes out?, you could get a cheaper BFG oc or evga card. Im sure they will be going up a lot on the this week only.


:EDIT:

Removed rant as it will only get removed by a don anyway. Might as well save them the time as its not their fault every time i order i only seem to inconvenience my self, which kinda defeates the object of saturday delivery.

HI there

It won't come down hardly any more.

The new buy price on the bigger brand names is still a lot higher than what were selling this model for. New GTX price is officially around the £250+VAT mark to the customer, even if our competitors sell at cost they will still be over £220+VAT.

OcUK has sourced these cards at an incredible price but for the supplier who sold them too us has made a whopping loss by selling them so cheaply to us, but a lot of suppliers are more interested in revenue over actual margin which is kinda of bonkers but I am not complaining and I am sure you lot aint complaining now that you can get a GTX so cheap. :)

The NVIDIA official lineup on pricing is:-

8600 GTS 256MB @ £89+VAT
8800 GT 256MB @ £109+VAT
8800 GT 512MB @ £139+VAT (Once stock frees up)
8800 GTS @ NDA (But quite a bit higher than GT)
8800 GTX 768MB @ £249+VAT
8800 Ultra 768MB @ £349+VAT

Thats NVIDIA's current lineup for the next 2-3 months, there new high-end model will no doubt fit in around between GTX and Ultra pricing but due to supply and demand will no doubt be as high as the Ultra to begin with.

So anyone thinking the GTX is going to get substancially cheaper than were selling it for now is deeply mistaken as it simply won't.

NVIDIA still position it higher performance wise than the GTS and as such it has a higher RRP. NVIDIA in their own testing show GTX and Ultra still pull ahead by quite some margin at resolutions of 1920x1200 and higher or when AA/AF is in use due to the extra bandwidth and larger amount of memory available.
 
GT or GTX? Dammit.

Gaming (sort of) on a 24" BenQ with a X2 3800 @ 2500, 2GB ram, Asus A8n SLi Deluxe motherboard and a 7800GTXe.

What to go for - GT or GTX?

I'm swaying to the GTX, its in stock which is a huge bonus! :D
 
Gibbo, two questions for you if I may..

1. What sort of quantity of these do you have? Are they likely to run out before the weekend is over?

2. When exactly does this offer end?

Ive now gota wait till thursday because i cant do any other day and this means im going to then have to faf around with them getting them to add a GTS in and take out the ati card i put in just to tide me over till i could get a GTS. which means more work and more reasons for it to go wrong. My confidence in ocuk has now been dented quite badly as this has happened to many times now.


Anyway i gues i might as well remove this before they then have a go at me for discusing my angrer, frustration and annoyance on the forum due to being made to look bad when my parents asid is houldn't have ordered here and now they going to go told you so. Great.

Why do you always rant about OCUK's service and then compound the situation by ordering off them again?! Ludicrous I say!

Use your head and take your custom elsewhere if you are not happy with them.

No one forces you to order from them. Its utterly pointless for you to keep moaning on here about it.

A psychoanalyst would have a field day with this destructive relationship you seem to have willingly locked yourself into.
 
haha psychoanalyst having a field day :p

Unfortunetly some of the parts i wanted were only avalible in overclockers (out of the shops i know and shop in). I have taken my bussness else where as well but the point is that id still eb waiting on those parts so i ordered it all together as i still had to order from here.

Annoyingly i did find 3 of the things substantually cheaper else where abnout 3 hours after ordering. But thought o well dont really care annymore at least i get my pc tommorow. Or not!
 
Damit, now I'm really confused on what to do!

Are you confident the GTX's performance will still above the GT's and the future GTS's? Because after reading the review on Tweaktown, the GTS's are looking very nice.

We all know that these new graphic's card a built around the "G92" architecture, but what difference does it make? Will it be significant in future games?

A psycholanalyst would also have a field day explaining the inherent contradiction in believing the honesty of a salesman :p

Does this mean that ALL the GTX brands will be around £249 inc VAT very soon ?

I run 2 x 24" monitors at 1600 x 1200 so a GTX could be a better bet than a GTS in the short term till the 9800's, Penryn etc surface and prices settle down ? :confused:

Decisions decisions :D

Nice car :)
 
Really tempted to get one but I just think Overclockers might knows more than they're letting on.
Why would these cards be so cheap just when the GTS happens to be coming out. Might be trying to get rid of what's not needed as they have tested the GTS and know that it is better and no one will be buying a GTX once it comes out so they might as well get rid of stock

Hi there

Unfortunately it does not, most branded cards such as Asus, BFG etc. will be around £240-£270+VAT but doubtful they will go any lower.

We've just managed to bag a great deal and are now passing it on. :)
 
Hello chaps,

Quick question. Do I order one of these OcUK 8800 GTX's or wait for the new GTS's.

At this price its very tempting:confused:

Cheers
 
The gtx is more powerful, but the ocuk wont has as good resell and it only has 1 year warrenty. id rather get the bfg or evga, but for the price difference its better value to get the GTS.
