The MSI GTX470 price is really nice. However the GTX480 price would be better of it was at £320~

Not saying OcUK is overpricng the GTX480 (it's more expensive at lots other places), but more to do with the fact of the GTX480 itself being too expensive.

£350 is the new price point for GTX 480, NVIDIA won't be dropping the price any more as sales are now very strong on this part. :)
 
I think I may change my mind (yet again) and buy the 460.
Still, I wont have the cash for a while meaning not only will the price increase, I will most probably change my mind by that time.
 
I think £350 on the GTX480 is a decent price, MSI do use good quality components and these are still reference GF100 PCB designs, not cost cutting jobs. The price on the GTX470 is very good, i'm really tempted to get one myself.

I was a bit disappointed with the pricing here when the GTX460's launched, but now you have the Gigabyte and MSI cards and the pricing on Nvidia cards is all looking very competitive with the other stores.

Excellent and thanks for the comments m8. :)

The MSI cards let you adjust the voltage on both the 470 and 480 to make them more overclocking friendly and get better results, just watch the temps though.

Ideal for anyone considering watercooling though. :)
 
You couldn't have posted this an hour earlier? :p

You would have gained a sale and saved me £20!

My order at "the other place" is now 'pick in progress' so I can't cancel it either. I guess I should have checked these forums more often today...
 
So you need a reference PCB for waterblocks correct?

And if the card doesn't have 'voltage tweaking', you still can't use afterburner or something to change core volts? i.e. its physically impossible?
