Galaxy?

[melvis]

ive come across a geforce 670 by a brand called galaxy, but ive never heard of them before, does anyone have any experience one way or another with this brand of card?

KFA2 and galaxy are the same company, KFA2 is the european name. A pretty well regarded company.

don't buy from the us, risk of custom charges. if you look around you can find a 670 in europe for cheaper than that galaxy (if its the one I think your talking about..)

ah ok, good to know, tho i guess that means warranty support will be a pain
[edit] @spixel ouch, didnt think about that, i know someone who got burnt with custom charges on a camera now that i think of it though. but i havent been able to find one with a custom cooler under 300 in europe yet

looking at that sellers feedback he has a lot of international buyers and not many complaints about custom fees so he probably marks them as low value, there's always a risk though.

say i did get caught what would the customs charges be? about £50 on a 280 item? kindof an expensive risk if i worked it out right.

vat + handling fees, not worth it if you can get one in europe..look around

 

[melvis]

yea think ill stick to europe, back to hunting for one in my budget, (or ill just have to accept and wait for the 660)

 

[spixelspixel]

whats your budget? 300 pounds?

 

[melvis]

my budget was originally £200 but im really trying to stretch it to get a 28nm board, but 300 is really my very highest i can go yeah.
i bought a 7850 but had to return it due to awful drivers
