Still not in the same league as ATI's pricing but somewhat improved and makes us one of the cheapest if not the cheapest in the UK with stock of GTX 260 and GTX 280 at these prices.

/FAIL NVIDIA

 

[Ice Rich]

Good job Gibbo

 

[eyetrip]

Wow, they really do have a long way to drop before they are appealing...

 

[ten80p]

Were it not for the 4870, the GTX260 price is good especially as it's a BFG with their great support / RMA, compared to everyone else's prices the GTX280 price is good except it's a lot to spend with only the 1yr warranty in mind, but for those that prefer Nvidia it's more appealing than yesterday

 

[mearle73]

Dont think theres going to be a rush on this one

 

[mmj_uk]

Any chance I can be refunded the difference?

I mean it took City Link 4 days to deliver my card after I selected Saturday "Next Day" Delivery, I was so angry I thought about sending it back and ordering from elsewhere.

It would be a nice gesture on OcUK's behalf.

 

[MystaEB]

GTX 280 still needs to drop another £100 for me to even consider one while the 4870 is priced as it is.

I hope nVidia make some agressive price changes in the coming months.

 

[The Asgard]

I think Nvidia need to adjust prices to the following to make them appealing.

260 @ £199
280 @ £299

That's probably better than average for citylink, tbh.

It's amazing isn't it, it could drop another £100 to like £290 and still be £90 more than the Powercolor 4870 and only give arround +10% performance on average, I could understand Nvidia's pricing if ATI's latest cards had been a major let down and they had no competition at all but thats no longer the case

260 @ £199
280 @ £299

Cant see a lot of online shops asking for new stock of the 260&280 unless Nvidia chop the price

 

[Skyboat]

I was suprised OC had the 260 listed so high in the first place; you are normally very competetive on pricing.

That made my day

 

[The Asgard]

260 @ £199
280 @ £299

To me its looking like the 4870 is in very short supply. I have one on preorder and would cancel it for a 280 at £299 and I'm sure others would do the same. Nvidia have an opportunity here if they act quickly with a price reduction.

 

[Robert]

Wow that's really impr..rubbish.

ATI still win.

 

[AWPC]

+1

Only took them 5 days to deliver a Vista DVD to me!

 

[rubin1961]

ati win by far
