Our competitors are all around or above £200 for this same card, were over £60 cheaper, in percentage terms that is nearly 50%, yes OcUK nearly 50% cheaper. THIS PRICE IS PRE-ORDER ONLY and stock arrives Friday, on Friday we shall increase the price by approx £10-£15 still making us over 30% cheaper than anywhere else or a good £40-£50. :D
 
Oh FU!

Just spent £175 on a HD6870, and to my knowledge the performance for these is very similar. (Except for Fermi Is failing with power draw and heat - somewhat sorted by the TwinFrozr cooler).

Worth cancelling other order and getting ones of these?

What are these like compared to the 6950 flashed to a 6970 ?

Well if you're going to flash a 6950, theres always risks involved. If it works though, then its a 6970 and not a 6950 - in which case it would be a fair margin quicker than this 470.

Grabbing two of these for SLI however, will totally spank a 6970 for pretty much the same price!

Hard to say, the 6870 is a good card! Did you buy the XFX version? If so that has a lot of games with it making it incredible value.

However the MSI GTX 470 is also very special due to the excellent cooler it uses, really quite a tough one, I myself would take the GTX 470 for the PhysX and CUDA, but I'd want the games too if its the XFX version, so a tough choice.

It was indeed the XFX version.

I only have a 460W coolermaster PSU - think thats a bit too close for a GTX470 and overclocked Phenom II (the power draw is what made me stray from the Fermi cards in the first place).

Looking at benchmarks, HD6870 pulls ahead in quite a few games, and I don't own anything that makes use of PhysX - and tbh I really don't think its a big deal.

Not sure if Photoshop or Vegas Pro make use of CUDA though

Stick with the 6870 then, its a great card and made even sweeter with all the games. :)

That is old stock. The cheaper GTX 470 is setup under a new SKU. :)

When I linked to it from google it was catagorised as ATI hardware which is the error I called out.

Its still there:

"Graphics Cards - ATI » NVIDIA GTX 470 Series » MSI GeForce GTX 470 Twin Frozr II 1280MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card "
