EVGA step-up result :)

[BeelzebubUK]

Been waiting since beginning of December for my step-up request to go through to swap my 7950GX2 for a 8800GTX.

Website was indicating that there would be a difference of about 130 euros + delivery which was fair enough.

Anyway...got the invoice raised now and I only need to pay 34 euros including delivery now so I'm guessing the rrp has gone down recently. So all told including the cost of sending the old card back and the bank transfer fee I'm getting the upgrade for about £44

Was getting fed up of the wait and almost sold the card 2nd hand to buy a 8800GTX so glad I had a little more patience now. Looking forward to getting some benchies done with it

Good things come to those who wait

Enjoy - The GTX is an awesome card. Not sure I would have had the patience to wait 8 weeks though.

It's taken ocuk 5 days to send my 8800 gtx with "next day" delivery, and it's still not here and my patience has run out, theres no way I'd be able to hold out for 8 weeks.

I assume you ordered a card which was not in stock? Why not just switch to one of the models which have stock. It'll get sent out next day then...

 

[Arthur]

No it was just a problem where they sent a water cooled version by accident so I sent it back, the next day it didn't get delivered so yesterday I called and they said they were fixing it and i said that wasnt the problem I sent it back because they gave me the wrong one as instructed, so they said that they'd send me the 8800 gtx and that now it was all sorted... but it's still not here. Il just give em another call, I'm sure it will get here eventually... I'm hoping tomorrow as having a 20 year old graphics card really slows this rig down... and can't go 1280 x 1024... On a belinea22W... you can imagine the problems

:O Nice, I've just started a "New rig" pot and I'm saving up for a similar rig to you.

a lot of people have been getting/got a similar rig actualy, I havn't overclocked it or anything and i can't really comment on it since I havn't got the 8800 yet which is really holding it back. Can't wait to get it up and running to it's full potential though, i've been dying to actualy play the games I've bought for it and try out photoshop
