**AMAZING VTX3D 7970 X EDITION DEAL - £359.99 Inc. VAT!!**

[MOOGLEYS]

tried to enter my code and pay but the 10% did not deduct

Same for me... ? I think it went down by £5 if I collect...

 

[mattf]

Worked when I used the non PayPal method so I did that

 

[MOOGLEYS]

It's weird the card shows as £359.99 if I add it to my basket it shows as £354.99 if I add the code it goes back to £359.99 but at the checkout it's 354.99 again...

Something not quite right with that....

 

[Troezar]

Same here, after the pain of sorting my CC out with India, security stuff. I think great I'll order and now the 10% says it will be deducted but doesn't work £365.78 showing. Not sure I can even be bothered ordering now, it's been far too painful!

I was all set for the lightning but then saw the lack of dual link DVI, how stupid is that?!
This looks like a nice card but it's hard to give your money away it seems

 

[TaKeN]

No free shipping with this offer?

 

[Troezar]

If you take the 10% there is no free shipping, still works out as a great deal if you can get it to work

 

[the_director]

No, if you take the 10% you lose free shipping.

Still a good deal, either way.

I'll resist for the time being.

 

[TaKeN]

Well I still haven't ordered. I posted in here asking peoples advice on whether going from a 6950 to 7970 would be worth it NO REPLY!

6950 is at 6970 Specs via flash (with different memory timings)

1920x1200.

At that res and with that card I'd wait for the end of the year and jump on 8xxx or the big Kepler

I asked OcUK themselves and got the following:

Good afternoon,

I have spoken to one of my colleagues and he has advised that it is approx 11.5".

I also emailed VTX3D at the same time and they said:

Dear Simon Foss,

Dimension with HD7970 X-Edition

VGA CARD(INCLUDING FAN)

280x136x39

JUST FAN(WITHOUT BOARD)

258x115x32

If you have any question, please let us know immediately.
Thank you very much and have a nice day.

I belive it's around 265-270mm internally but i'm trying to dig more as I have a strict 265mm to work with and would rather find out before ordering instead of having to use the distance selling regs if it is indeed too long.

Also, interestingly Powercolor do an HD7970 that's 265mm long according to their site. Now I believe TUL owns both companies, hence I would expect it to be the same PCB as the one used on the VTX3D card. I mean, there's no point in developing two different PCBs of almost identical length when your sister company already has one ready to go, right?

 

[rowedogg]

what are vtx3d like as a brand? i cant seem to find much info on them.

wondering if the warranty might put me off this deal

 

[Tute]

I posted a bit about the warranty and reliability in the main thread in the News section.

 

[kmax86]

Good thing OcUK deals with the warranty

 

[jallan]

Looks like they've sold out already, I was going to place an order last night thought I'd wait till the morning and have a look at buying a Rat 7 mouse as well but my dreams are now shattered lol.

 

[mmj_uk]

Have these been discontinued now then? why?

 

[jallan]

Have these been discontinued now then? why?

I'm making the assumption that they're out of stock, I'm sure someone said they were running low already a page or two back.

I'm actually sitting on a 6850 so it would have been one massive upgrade, though I will go back in my cave until the next deal comes.

prbbly a 1-day deal promotion or out of stock

 

[Moron]

They've all been sold and Gibbo wasn't sure about sourcing any more so they've been removed although he did say he'd add it back if they can get more stock.

I managed to get one for me and one for my mate this morning just before they ran out. Great deal plus 10% off thanks to FB code. 7970 non-ref for £330 - bargain.

Plus the free 3 games sometime in May, sweetens the deal
