Take your word for it then just had a feeling the price would increase as it matches the £200 ish cards performance.

That's the whole idea of this card. 200+ performance for a significant amount less. They've caught NVIDIA with their pants down.

In stock as well. Nice. I was tempted myself but going for the 4870 I reckon as I CBA to change motherboard this late in the game.

It's not "that late" really... Nehalem mainstream parts aren't due for ages yet, and from what I do hear when they do overlcocking will be locked down except on the "omgextreme" parts. I'm planning on getting an X48 + Q6600 soon and having that do me for a year or so. :)
 
I'll wait for the dust to settle me thinks much 2nd hand bargains to be had soon then so if it's £130 that means 9800gtx etc will be going for under £100 second hand cool.

Stop tempting me you git :p
 
lol it's a great time to upgrade imo... Q6600's are dirt cheap, OC to hell and back, 4GB DDR2 is almost given away, and the X48's will make a crossfire setup scream. If you just get the cheapest you can find and source off of MM you will have a monster rig for a good while to come. I wouldn't put off upgrading because of Nehalem for a good while yet. :)

See how the 4870 gets on next week. It's nice to know that I can upgrade to two 4850's and a motherboard for still a wedge less than the 280.

Unless of course NVIDIA surprise everyone next week and drop the 280 to 300 but that won't happen.
 
Tom just calm it and wait a week or two until 4870 is released, we know all there is to know, and stock more available at all the Etailers... there's no need to rush into anything.

You'd be on edge if you'd been using a 7200GS for the past 2 weeks. :p

I agree. However, solitaire and flash games must be getting boring by now? :D.

You can buy my 8800GT to tide you over if you like.

Please? :D

Well I just got an X1900XTX in today to tide me over the extra. So that's helped things

The 7200GS was driving me mad. X1900XTX Bargain at £30 as well. Forgot how capable these cards actually are! has no problems running Mass Effect @ 1680x1050 maxed. No AA you'll understand and there are some weird lighting problems but hey better than Solitaire :p
