These 9800 / 9600's are they bus powered or do they need pci-e 6pin power?

Are they slim single slot gpu's?

Cheers

I want something quiet, like the 560Ti, help me out Gibbo!

Awesome!

Was going to get a Asus 570 overclocked but seeing as OCUK's own brand 580 is the same price i am so tempted.

Is it worth it? This offer has put me in a difficult situation haha.

These cards are perfect candidates for blocking up and watercooling.

Perfect you say, with only 1 year warranty?

Removing the heatsink to fit a waterblock usually voids warranty (except for a few manufacturers). What difference does it make how long the warranty you're about to void is?

USed to have a 9600GT so I know it's single slot and a single 6 pin pice adapter. Not sure about 9800.

I did consider a 3D vision surround setup but decided against it because of the extra cost of a hefty SLI setup, but at these prices...

Bradmax57 · 15 Aug 2011 at 20:05

Thanks, that sums it up pretty well. Slightly confused though, they all say they are OCuk branded, and i wasn't aware they were a brand in that manor. Does it just mean its luck of the draw wether you get an evga/ zotac/ gigabyte etc

Thanks

They wont/ might not have any branding, as there likely to be nvidia reference models as mentioned eariler, possibly ones that have been sent back to nvidia for repair etc, but for the prices there at and given that your getting a years warranty not to be sniffed at, i cant seem to keep a card for more than a month atm lol

Most of them not "made" by OcUK,they actually from some companies like Inno3D,Sparkle etc..They just simply stock cards,but considering that vapour chamber coolers,nothing to fear,especially if you have good case
Need to sell my 560Ti so i can get 570 or 580 :confused:

Tempted for a 570 but what's the reccommended PSU and would it work with the motherboard in my sig?

Morrey360 · 16 Aug 2011 at 23:27

The 570 very tempting

why its should not work?sure it will work
what PSU you have?
"GeForce GTX 570 - On your average system the card requires you to have a 550 Watt power supply unit"
So if you have something like 600W you should be ok
