Soz I got the BFG GTX280 OC - with the awesome torch - spent longer on that than looking at the card :p.

First card to have a full heatshink on the back - was a nice suprise...

o0 cool, is that with FC2/Grid? what about Vantage? some nice little additions to these bundles, pretty sweet deals really.
 
Yeah it came with Farcry2 in the box and a code for Vantage...

Got to install Vista and sort out my BIOS - should have it running by the morning :p

Whats the best software to use with these cards to overclock and monitor temps? Ive got a probe on the back of the card just to help me understand temps as its right next to my X-Fi Prelude...

ps3ud0 :cool:

At least DHL have the good sense to leave deliveries with a neighbour if you are out when they call. The amount of times I have gone to collect a CityLink item and the driver hasn't returned it to the depot...........

:eek: lucky you! (and to everyone who got one with bundeled stuff!)

Mine came this afternoon (3pm thanks to royal mail, cheaper than DHL but not as good as city link here in NI), got landed with an asus one so all the extra stuff was a mouse mat and leather cd case.....

Either way im still pleased as i can have working linux drivers!! (though Far cry 2 would have been niceish...)

... are any more of these cards going to be available? I'd rather get another one now and cheap for SLI before they are discontinued like my 8800GTX

no one got any input on this?

And yeah that little torch is bloody awesome! No more need to drag my lamp from the desk when I am tinkering inside my case! but I've got a feeling I'll lose it within a week along with all the other important bits and tools involved in tweaking :S

Have you any idea when DHL stop delivering is it late? As its passed 5pm now so getting worried......:(

I think it's 9pm. Mine hasn't arrived yet either but my local DHL driver has a habit of leaving invisible cards (he's actually probably playing football with the parcels or something).

i must admit when DHL deliver to me they always deliver late in the evening,citylink always delivered early morning.
i wish ocuk gave us the option to choose between both DHL and citylink as ive had better experiences with citylink and bad with DHL.
 
I got mine today from DHL



Bloody card wont fit on my M/B though. SATA ports are blocking the card :mad::mad::mad: I dunno what to do.


8800GTX fits fine as the PCB isn't 100% Covered !




I got the BFG OC2 with FC2 and VAntage.
 
lol odd.

For me its DHL always deliever early morning if not before lunch time at the very latest. I prefer DHL about a million times better compared to City Link.

I still remember when I bought my Q6600 from here when it was City Link. I was watching TV in the living room waiting for it to arrive. I watch the City Link guy walk up to my door.... and just posted the "you wasnt in" note through the letter box. I let him get about 2 steps away from my door. Then opened my door and politely said you can knock on the door :p

Needless to say his face went bright red. He didnt say anything just gave me the parcel and ran to his van. I mean what the hell is that !

Anyways this is thread is meant to be about the awesome GTX 280's ppl have been getting not City link v DHL :p
