I feel for you honestly I do, the price of hardware is up and down like a yo yo, just count yourself lucky it's only 15 quid I paid £450 for my GTX 480 on release :eek::o
 
And I guess at the time you thought £160 was a good price so I'd remain positive. Especially when I hear such good things about the card.

Hi all,

After much consideration and reading of these forums I went into the OCUk shop only 3 days ago to buy this said card. £159.99 and all was done. Not sure why I ended up looking on here tonight but the same damn card is now £144.99 :(

So go grab yourself a bargain.....they were £15 more expensive 3 days ago: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-064-GI&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1830

I`m sorry to inform you that I bought one of these yesterday @ £144.

This means it will be even cheaper next week. :D
 
Thanks all. I know it's only £15 but feel ripped off nonetheless. I know I was hapy to spend £160 in the first place, but I'd have been even happier to spend £144.99 :D And if what mame is saying is true then it rips even more :p

Great card though :)
 
Well I paid £151 for my Gigabyte 460GTX 1GB OC a few days ago and I expected it to be around £10 to £20 cheaper in a few weeks, as that always happens to every purchase I seem to make for my PC ;) . However if I had have held off then the pricing rumour of them going to be more expensive soon would have been true and they would have gone up about £20.!

But it does not matter as I know that I am more than happy with my card and I was certainly happy enough to pay what I did for it. Also I have been using a PC and building my own since my first 386Sx 25mhz, so I am fully aware of how volatile hardware prices can be.
 
Just imagine those people who paid £500 for a 6800gt or whatever it was back in the day, probably wouldnt be worth 50p now!

As long as you are happy its all that matters :cool:
 
What you should do is to never buy any hardware, ever. That way you will never be caught out by the consistent price drops that always seem to happen. *cough*Ignore ATI 58-- series cards *cough*
 
Fantastic price on the gigabyte.... unfortunately just the way things are...next week could be £140 or £160 !?

...just enjoy it while its nice and shiny and take comfort that you didnt pay £170+ for it! Theres always gona be someone who got ripped off more than you...take comfort in that!
 
hm i bought at about £180

but i have also had umpteen faultless months use out of it.

id happily pay £10-15 a month to rent a great graphics card. so im not Unhappy, although i always like to save.
