--- An Amazing Graphics Card Deal for Christmas! ---

Its still on there website ;) A pricing error like that would have been fixed within 1-2 days, its now been on there 3 afaik. They do occasionally do things like this to clear old stock. They're pretty much out of stock now, which tends to be the idea in those sort of pushes, as the stores get charged to return recall/clearance stock.

I was on the phone with them, confirmed as a pricing error.
 
These are great!

I grabbed one so I can do some CPU benches without having to worry about an expensive GPU.

Also works great as a test GPU to just pop in if you think you're is causing trouble.

I'm actually fighting the urge to get two, just so I can run them in crossfire for the hell of it :(

Got 2x3 pin PCI-E to molex adaptors. I am assuming you can use just one of these in the card's 8 pin power connector as there's only one configuration that will connect properly.

I haven't got it up and running yet, I'm planning to use it whilst I RMA my 260GTX in the new year and I don't really want to start dismantling my system before I have to.

I believe the warranty is 2 years overall, not sure how much of that is with OCUK.

Hey mate, how did you connect the 3 pin adaptor to the card, I've just had mine and I'm a bit confused on how to connect the power adaptor.

Cheers.

Ouch, we still have some left so I would recommend getting in touch with technical support as soon as possible.

Glad to see these are going, one of the best selling graphics cards these last few days and I would have been worried if they were not. :p
 
Yeah I've got an RMA number so will send it off tomorrow, what I don't understand is in the email they sent me it says reason Damaged Packaging Intact, but I've opened the package top test the card, will this affect the RMA?

Cheers.
 
yeh the ones i recieved were poorly packaged and 3 were damaged which have been sent back. OCUK please package them better!

It means the packaging was not damaged when received but the product inside was totalled, its so we know if we can claim from the courrier for damages or not. :)

We send them out as we recieve them, I have yet to open one up but it does sound like they are lacking. I will have a look as we have not had many returns on these at all.
 
yewen, it may well be the couriors fault then, as the box wasa little battered too on corner?
can u put a wrap of bubble wrap round each one just for me :-)

Mine didn't come in a box, was just two bubble wrapped envelopes inside each other, unless you ordered quite a few and they bunged them all in one box.
