7800GT for £103?

Erm isnt the 7800gt Pci-e and the 7800gs AGP?

7800 GT.

7800 GS is more expensive as its the old AGP.

Yes but my mobo can use either.

Sparky · 21 Apr 2006 at 20:38

I'm more shocked at the price than anything else :eek:

7800GT. Cheaper and faster.

I just hope I get it, past experience has shown that it doesnt update the stock status. Its nice to have 1 of the top few graphics cards for once and it costs less than the 9800pro aiw im using now.

BruceLee · 21 Apr 2006 at 21:15

haha, knew it, was so tempted to buy the 7800GT, but its my luck ive just bought a second hand x850xt for that price (less shipping)

Oh well, maybe another time. Hope they have enough in stock otherwise you will be

uhoh:

Gibbo just posted this

Hi there

Think there is a problem, looks like the NET connection is down at the office as we had like only 1-2 of those cards, yet it remains on sales where so many of you have ordered so the NET connection looks to be broken at HQ.

They have definetely all gone along with the other 7800 bargains so don't bother ordering. Those who have ordered will be upgraded to anything equal or superior in stock B-Grade/Clearance wise and others will be refunded.

Energize · 21 Apr 2006 at 21:18

I have already ordered. If I get upgraded to a better card or refunded no problem, there are lots of other cheap cards in that section

BruceLee · 21 Apr 2006 at 21:24

thats true, better not take my 6800 away from me!

Glad I didnt bother in the end with the 7800gt after that from gibbo lol.

Energize · 21 Apr 2006 at 21:28

I got an order confirmation email saying it has being accepted.

BruceLee · 21 Apr 2006 at 21:29

So did I

Its all a conspiracy (unless I get upgraded that is...)

LoadsaMoney · 21 Apr 2006 at 21:31

Yeah thats just accepting your order though, Gibbo's said its broken and still accepting orders even though theres no cards left.

Energize · 21 Apr 2006 at 21:33

What sort of a crappy system lets people order more than the stock?

LoadsaMoney · 21 Apr 2006 at 21:35

Erm.. A broken one.

BruceLee · 21 Apr 2006 at 21:35

The ones where they have something you want at a great price

Seriously though its a bit of a PITA as Im trying to sort out another card for a friend and cant tell if i still need it or not.. Will see in the AM.
