I'll be getting this on Wednesday http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-164-MS&groupid=701&catid=1914&subcat=2294

First,
Will I get the FTP game deal?
http://www.pcper.com/news/Graphics-...ame-150-credit-Free-Play-games-all-GTX-buyers
I can't see were it's offered on OverclockersUK website
Planetside 2 is what I play the most so, that would be a bonus.

Second,

I've sold my 570 and it will be out of my PC tonight. The new card will be here next week (I'm in Ireland and it take's 2 days) How will my 2500K with it's integrated gpu hold up to gaming (Planetside 2) until I get the new card? I have it OCed to 45Mhz.

Third,

Will this card work fine with this monitor with everything maxed out?

I'll be buying it in a few months.
Thanks
 
I haven't seen the adverts for the free to play bundle either so i wouldn't bet on getting it.

I doubt it'll play very well on the igp, from experience planetside 2 doesn't play very well on any hardware.

Yeah you should be fine on that monitor.
 
In my experience an oc'd 3930k & 680 gives a minimum 40fps on Planetside 2 this is a worst case scenario with an enormous battle on screen and usually runs at 55-60 fps & around 80-120 in the spawn room.

Expect it to be completely unplayable on your integrated chip.


edit*

This is on max graphics settings btw @1920x1080, I hear there's plenty optimisations & tweaks to get it running smooth on lower spec hardware but haven't looked into this personally.

Man that bundle blows.

Hmm, after reading the fine print on the bundle and it does blow. I see some of OverclockersUK competitors are doing this bundle but the cards and shipping are more expensive. So, I'd rather buy it here.

Another question,
I just read that the weekly deal ends at 9am tomorrow but, I can't buy it until later on in the day. Would OverclockersUK give it to me for that price if I call them?
I just can't go any higher then 320 euro + shipping.

So, I took out my GTX 570(sold it) and am now using the integrated GPU. Planetside 2 totally unplayable on it. I feel like my PC has had it's balls chopped off.
 
Got the 670 today from OverclockersUK and I'm back in business. They're also sending me the FTP money. Thanks, OverclockersUK. I'm very happy.
 
I just redeemed the code for PS2. You don't get the station cash per se. You basically get a box full of crap. I got L105 Zephyr, Camo and some boosts.

I'm very happy with the 670 card but, what a jip Nvidia

You never know, Nvidia might turn around and give all their users a free bunch of games if they can prove their purchase. This will be followed by long term free interest loans and the banking elite eradicating all the global existing debts.

On a serious note though, I'm glad you're happy with your card. 670 and 680 are so close it's hard to advise to get the 680.
