*****NVIDIA GTX 780 IS HERE & IN STOCK - GET ONE TODAY!!**

[cainer]

not very competitive prices :/

 

[Gregster]

That pricing puts it about 1.7 - 2 times current price of 7970's

It isn't anywhere near 1.7 - 2 times the performance!

The 7970 is 1/3 more expensive than the 7950 but isn't 1/3 faster. It doesn't work like that.

Just ordered the EVGA 780 - exciting times!

Good for you Sir and I look forward to seeing your results

The 7970 is about 1.7 - 2 times the price of a 7850/7870 and isn't anywhere near 1.7 to 2 times the performance. Does that make the 7970 a bad buy also?

 

[Rusty0611]

Why are they generally about £50 more than elsewhere, Gibbo?

 

[eggcup]

Because some people will only shop at ocuk regardless of price.

 

[Locky]

£600 quid.. I'm out.

True.

Yip, echo thatto anyone buying one (or 2). Enjoy. Monster card, but priced too high for me. 2nd 7970 under water should keep me happy for a while (hopefully).

 

[Jay85]

This still worries me that gibbo has been so quiet throughout the whole gtx 780 hype. Maybe he's not happy either about the pricing and hence rather not speak too much about it?

With Tri-fire 7970s, I don't think you need one anyway

 

[HardwareFanatic]

GIMME GIMME GIMME!
Saving up for two of these bad boys!

It seems the normal top end models which used to cost between £400 to £500 are now £500 to £600.

At this rate the 20NM top end GPUs will be £600 to £700.

 

[Ian Evey]

Thats a shame, the principle of the matter wont let me buy a graphics card for more than £450. I think AMD might gain a very large share of the high end graphics market if they release any card that beats the 780.

 

[humbug]

£550 minimum, £230 more expensive than a 7970, absolutely insane.

No chance here.

 

[Locky]

looking at world pricing these should have come in at £519 to £529.

[kmax86]

no chance for an upgrade for me at that price

 

[Ian Evey]

Yeah i might sell my 670 for a 7970. or 2

Way back in 2010 I purchased a launch day GTX 480 for £480. That was £1 for every bit of the "480" name. By contrast the GTX 780 only costs 70p for each part of it's name. That's much better value.

IMO the 780 is not too expensive when compared to the former top dogs of their generation. GTX 480 and GTX 680 both launched North of £450. Even the 7970 was £400+ less than a year ago and all of these cards supply substantially less performance. The 780 appears to be a very good alternative compared to the 7990, GTX 690, and Titan.

It's also cheaper than any launch day iPhone.

The GTX780 is only 20% to 30% faster on average than the previous generation high end cards. Those cards had similar if not a greater performance increase over the previous generation higher end cards, and cost less and they were still priced too high.

We are starting to see high end cards hitting £550 to £600 for bog standard non limited edition models.

I really hope the lower end cards down the range are priced below £350.

if you use that silly logic then the 6970 should have been 2x more at release than the 5870 was because it was 2x faster...

NOPE
