I could do with upgrading my graphics card, I have an Asus 560Ti, but may be pushed to buy something from EVGA myself, especially because they offer the sexy 10 year warranty.

Buy an EVGA 560Ti then maybe?
Im sure I'll get an EVGA card when Kepler comes out. Just a shame they cost so much.

Welcome EVGA_Nick

Any chance of making some GTX 580 backplates available on the EU site?

Done. You should be seeing many of the other accessories on Notify Me status come in stock over the next week or so.

Cleeecooo · 26 Jul 2011 at 20:57

Which is better - EK or EVGA backplate?

To be fair they're not too bad from some resellers. Got my 580 for £359 which is a steal when compared to the price of some cards. Clocks to 900+ core on 1.1v as well so destroys any factory OC'd versions.

EEEEEEEEK!!!! £600 for just a watercooled 1.5GB GTX 580

Think your prices need knocking down a lot

Fanatic · 26 Jul 2011 at 22:50

Yeah it should be the 3GB version, but you have to admit, that card looks awesome

Their other cards are a lot more expensive. The 580s are really reasonable.

EK plexi ***. Oh FFS, nowthat OC is going to stock EVGA can we sort out the FT W?

@EVGA_Nick

EVGA lost my custom after 6 loyal years when they could not supply GTX480 & GTX580 @ launch in the UK so I went with Asus instead & see no reason to change back as Asus had no problems with UK high end stock they even had plenty to spare for a few weeks after launch.

EVGA need to ensure that future high end GPU's are available day & date in UK as US otherwise you will lose more custom to others who can & do bring the high end GPU's day & date to UK. Asus in particular have no trouble with UK volume so surely EVGA should be able to at least match that............

Seeing US & German PC gamers gloat over their new hardware is not exactly a PR win for EVGA in UK when most EVGA customers will be enthusiasts who want it now!!!! Sorry to come across negative but this is my own personal experience on the GTX480 & GTX580 launches so hopefully in the future you can remedy this & give UK parity with German & US gamers.

Thank you for listening.

I think we will support EVGA Nick a little more if he gave us a card each for free *wink wink*

harmony · 27 Jul 2011 at 04:53

It's been annoying that I cannot buy any EVGA 3GB reference GTX580. Now I stop thinking about adding a 3rd one, as 40nm products are approaching EOL.

Which ones? The 570 and 560ti are just as competitively priced as that 580 was from at least one major supplier. £171.08 for the 560ti and £251.48 for the 570 seem more than reasonable to me.

I think that people perhaps just assume EVGA are still extremely expensive like they used to be, without actually having a look at their current pricing.

iguanoid · 27 Jul 2011 at 05:44

SR-2's back in stock please. I tried to spec a pair of work stations for ocuk to build me and they couldn't get the motherboards

I really don't want to buy HPs....

CivilDrone · 27 Jul 2011 at 08:25

does this mean we are going to see some crazy deals on evga? it better be comin soon as i really need a new card

sunny007 · 27 Jul 2011 at 08:30

Have a look at their reference overclocked cards compared to the MSI tf3 cards

But yeah, their pricing has improved a lot.

AWPC, I have to agree with you. All the better non ref cards seem to be only available in the us :mad:

EVGA nick, if we buy EVGA cards from the us do we still have the full warranty and can we RMA to Europe if it goes faulty?

Yup, should see availability in Europe around 3 weeks.

psychas · 27 Jul 2011 at 09:58

why not play two team game and have ati/amd cards as well , then you would get wider customer range and maybe more profit. and not go bust like you did before.
