Stop going on about prices and stock elsewhere
Interesting that the Crysis branding looks a bit like it was an afterthought - I expected it to be all over the box but it's just a sticker on the front and the DVD in a plastic sleeve.
Card is awesome though - got 11606 in 3DMark06 first time out with 3.1Ghz C2D.

How much did you pay for it?

Thats because it was just like any other card with a game in it, a little sticker on it, just they put Crysis edition on because its Crysis, one of the biggest and most popular games out at this time, so calling it the Crysis Edition just because its got Crysis with it is bound to attract more buyers for this card.
£223. Sounds like a lot, but as I got a £25 game with it which I was going to buy anyway, that means I effectively paid £198 for the card... I think the extra £15 over a standard GT was worth it for the guaranteed OC and the 10-year warranty.
And dont forget the step up and being able to put 3rd party cooler on without invalidating said 10 year warranty.

Step-Up is useless.
Why do you say that?

You gotta post the cards to germany or somewere, you have to pay EVGA's prices so it could be more expensive than selling your card and buying the next one up, its a long wait too.
Could be a good deal with the well over inflated prices at the moment. EVGA will probably be on RRP
Yeah... if they take the price for the Crysis edition and I get to keep the game, I was thinking of trying to get a new GTS out of it.
I knew someone would say something like that, do you have an EVGA card because if you dont, dont worry about it, looks like a handy feature to me.

Thank you.
Somebody is on the same level as me.
I also just bought a new display, and it is useless until I get my card.
Anyway, I called OcUK today and they said new ETA for eVGA cards is the 6th. I am actually considering just getting a Gainward now, as this is quite ridiculous.
They also said they were 'unable' to send me any eVGA card (as a few days ago Crysis packs came in and there was free stock. It was all sold by the time I got back from work) unless I place a separate order for each one.
However by doing this if they all came in they would ship them all, and there was no way they could make a note to cancel the others. As I cannot check my emails at work, I would have no way of knowing until I got home at 8pm.
I would obviously be billed for all three and have then have to return them.
Frankly guys, not the best customer service I've experienced
However, here's hoping the cards finally arrive tomorrow!
EDIT: @ posts above - off topic somewhat?? Please take the StepUp discussion elsewhere, it does not belong in this thread

Yes they do. You get what you paid for your crysis edition against a step up and you get to keep the game.
So you have £223 to step up with?
Ought to get you a vanilla EVGA GTS 512Mb for the cost of shipping. Good move

sorry officer, I didnt realize you are the forum police.
go back thru the thread m8 I think it started before you made your first post, sometimes it goes a little off topic but always gets back on track.

Well Gibbo i think yer wasting money there on all those GT's your getting in, you should only get EVGA/BFG brands in from now on and sod the rest as no one wants em, as you can see from all those Gainwards you have sitting there still, its pointless gettting cards in that no one wants mate, send the buggers back, take the rest down, and just do the 2x brands (BFG/EVGA).
