Big Time Over Price

Darren_uk · 17 Dec 2011 at 18:58

Almost £1300

Orcvader · 17 Dec 2011 at 18:59

THERE'S NO PICTURE OF IT! LET ME SEE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE!!!

On the other hand, AMD won't be happy about this if they find out

Darren_uk · 17 Dec 2011 at 18:59

Amd\Ati are having a Mars Matrix Attack..

cainer · 17 Dec 2011 at 19:00

il bet good money that company has no stock on release day

Fanatic · 17 Dec 2011 at 19:01

Clearly the few cards available in December (if any) will be way over priced. Wait and see what happens in January. Early adopters always pay a premium.

Karateyid · 17 Dec 2011 at 19:01

Evga gtx580 3gb card is 490 and how much better is the 79xx meant to be?

Quite a lot apparently. Good 30%, hence the price to performance thing.

AMD will charge what the card does in performance into £. Repeat ad nauseum, they're not going to do any one any favours, this is corporate business at work.

Apols for DP.

So they're supposed to cost 500 euros. So let's say Gibbo's £500 easter egg is right.

Price gouging FTL. If you want one lads you'll be paying for it.

Oh and it looks like this

So that pic before doing the rounds seems to be right.

Ed. Translated the article.. It just bangs on about how the 7970 makes Winzip faster.

Please, for the love of god, don't tell me AMD have fallen into the same trap of "Bolting pointless crap onto your GPU" that Nvidia have?

Alkalinepro5 · 17 Dec 2011 at 19:39

Nearly 5 times what I paid for my ickle 6870 ^_^

I would never consider in a million years paying anything like this for a graphics card xD

ALXAndy · 17 Dec 2011 at 19:41

Some will. And they will do so before seeing any evidence of how it actually runs aswell.

Sad fact of life. Mind you, at least the optimist in me says it'll be fast, but it's hardly going to make Nvidia drop their prices is it? no point really, they're miles cheaper as it is.

lrlcr · 17 Dec 2011 at 19:50

TBH, i kinda hope it is going to cost that much (on in that sort of region) but has the performance to back it up. Need a lot more grunt for 1440p!
