Which 480 to get

no_1_dave · 29 Mar 2010 at 22:04

If I pre-order one how do I know it will have stock on release?
I dont care which brand. Has it been posted anywhere how much stock of each one OCUK will be getting otherwise it's a bit of a lottery..?

I'd get this one

MameFX · 29 Mar 2010 at 22:23

if your gonna buy any get the EVGA(second place to BFG)

vian_siu · 29 Mar 2010 at 22:23

i would get the one with the best warranty because you will need it

The Fatboy pimping thread had Asus, Gainward and Point of View.

You'd have to ask Fatboy or make a webnote.

That will be EVGA or Zotac, shame there is no BFG now.

Haven't seen EVGA listed anywhere in UK and BFG don't trade in Europe anymore. What ever will nvidia boys do???

Anyone gonna start the " *** Official OMG I've finally got my 480/470 thread ***. Couldn't be as bad as the *** Official OMG I've finally got my 5830 thread ***

5 Years on Zotac looks good, but I'm guessing a lot of people would have gone for that considering it's only a little more for the warranty length...

I don't think you can go wrong with any of them mate.

This thread is like catnip to the ati fanboys (as you can see already) so just take that answer and don't look here again!

Yea, just dont want to pre-order one then find its out of stock but another brand the same price is available...

How come OCUK didn't simply do a potluck sale for the 480 presales for cards that are the same price?

RavenXXX2 · 29 Mar 2010 at 22:42

OCUK are very flexible regarding swapping your order over if a card you pre-order is not in stock.

Why would you need a 5 year warranty on a graphics card? If someone is in the market for a 480GTX I don't see them not upgrading for 5 years...

TBH even a 3 year warranty is verging on useless.

I suppose you can seell it on and claim the warranty is intact but a lot of vendors don't allow the warranty to change hands do they?

True but as stated you'll be able to swap it over easily enough.
