TIME TO BUY A NVIDIA 9xx IS NOW: REASON INSIDE!!

Gibbo · 5 Jan 2015 at 11:49

Hi there

Well two things:

1. NVIDIA Pick Your Path FREE (Free Games are Assassins Creed Unity, Far Cry 4 or The Crew) FREE Game promotion ends this Wednesday at 18:00, so NO more FREE game, not to say they won't launch a new promotion at a later date.
2. Exchange rates have crashed over XMAS so unless we can get lower USD cost then cost will increase further on all USD purchasers, this effects everything not just graphics cards.

This is to highlight point one really and that NVIDIA are ending the game promotion!

Do not say we did not warn you!!

2nd Asus Strix ordered this morning.

Could it also conincide with a new radeon card coming shortly?

1. is not a valid reason

Which is the best of the seven GTX 980's currently all sitting at approx £420 on OCUK?

Azra · 5 Jan 2015 at 16:55

I'll still wait to see what the GTX 960 specs are first. Plus the 8GB versions of the 970/980 we had rumoured last year.

The game removal is no loss to me as I want a card as cheap as it can be, not kept up with a "freebie".

The dollar is chewing up the pound but with the Eurozone edging towards deflation, it will only become a buyers market.

Technology always goes down as it becomes cheaper to make and or superseded.

Buy quick or ride the storm but fear not these cards will come down even if you have to wait for AMD to force it or the 9XX end of life sell off.

For much of this I expect the prices on this week only to rise for a bit, the initial vigour for price matching the 9XX cards on here has faded to a largely contact customer services for a match.

If nothing else, the 9XX series have proved to be good for NV.

Wrong.

The reference 970's have gone up in price today by £15

Does this mean I have to use my code by Wednesday?

I would advice you do so, but I think it expires later it is just Etailors will no longer be shipping codes after today on the PYP promotion.

To be honest I'd not risk it and would pick a game and start playing.

For those too lazy to check, the terms and conditions state "Promotional code expires 31st January 2015."

I was looking at the Galax 970 Black, is that a decent one to get?

NeverWinter · 7 Jan 2015 at 12:05

Ordered anyway.

Ryan-3 · 7 Jan 2015 at 12:10

Evil evil evil.

Not that bothered by the games (although AC:Unity will be the choice) but a GTX970 Gibbo edition ordered. Will it be an upgrade from a 560Ti?
