-== GTX 280 plummeting in price at OcUK! ==- LAST CHANCE!

[TheCenturion]

They will sell.....

Gainward now gone!

all the bargain cards gone

 

[Yewen]

Can you confirm if the gainwards come with the power converter cables? Ive bought one, just need to know if i need to buy cables as my psu only has one 6pin connector

thanks

If there were any that the warehouse were not picking I would be able to confirm for certain.

I believe they come with them and a DVI/VGA adapter.

Brilliant thanks...fantastic deal

Owned lots of Gainward cards in the past and 99% of the time they tend to come with DVI/VGA adaptors.

Prediction: The POVs will drop in price later today once they come off TWO.

Or will remain in the offers but with roughly £100 cut off the price.

 

[TheCenturion]

hey yewen! The £-$ rate is slowly improving! any chance to get some last minute 280s in while you still can?

 

[ps3ud0]

Prediction: Lots of people who buy it on TWO will become annoyed after the price cut and moan on the forum...

will cross my fingers and wait 2-3 months and see what appears on the horizon before looking for a pre owned one. on a additional note 9800 GX2 which I hear offers similar performance in some titles, any good ? I've been offered one for £150 so thought of selling on my 8800 GTS and putting a little extra cash towards one

You should have all waited for the GTX 285's you'll regret it !

3 left now folk. Also I've just noticed that the Zotac AMP editions seems to have a ridiculous core OC, I wonder how they managed that stunt on what seems to be stock cooling...

I'd also love to know how its so high - considering eVGA's watercooled one is lower!

Must be able to fry eggs on that baby - Tri-SLI must be a fire hazard.

Hehe yeah, hopefully.. I've resisted the urge to buy one of these 280's for now.

 

[littlepuppy]

gx2 is a tremendous folder as well from what I hear.. If you are into that side of things.

I must admit its been MIGHTY tempting but I've held out this far

 

[Mikey]

Well it now gives the rest of us time to shift 8800 / 9800 cards we may own etc

That's what I'm going to do - Mr auction site and then wait for another deal. I have a spare gfx card and I'm sure I can handle a few weeks etc. without a higher end card.

all this on a Q6600 playing at 1650 * 1050

Most GTX280's clock to 700MHz on the core comfortably.

Referring to the commets regarding the possible POV price reduction:

Hope so I was to slow of the mark for the others
