Wow! The card is now more expensive than a Gigabyte 580 OC. Very questionable pricing strategy...
Gigabyte still have my 480 lol.

It's not the only card that seems to have gone up in price. Crazy that it costs more than a 580 now though.

Maybe OcUK caught wind of all the GTX 480 SOC RMA's going through to Gigabyte and people getting GTX 580 SOC's back.

then what about the asus 480's ? , they have gone up £140 since i got mine @£199.99 . now they are £340
Soldato
Make that £349.99 now and only 5 left, bang goes my plans for SLI 480's then, I paid £191.99 for mine
Soldato
so up another £10 , bang goes sli for me also . wish i had not another 6900 series tbh for when my rma'ed 6970 was retured

The pricing of high end nvidia cards is getting beyond a joke. Can see everyone being on an ati card if it keeps up. Perhaps I'm just angry though as I missed out on the cheapness, and am still rocking a GTX 280!

People with a single 480 who want to go SLi.
OR Idiots and madmen!
Glad i got my Asus 480 from OcUK for <£200

Usually people will buy one card and then later down the line when the card has dropped in price, due to newer gen. cards being released, will add a second card. Defeats the whole purpose. This just leaves the idiots and madmen to buy them I guess...
lol, stupid prices
£379.99
Yeah just had a look myself thinking to buy 2 more of these.
no chance now, not from here anyways

Yeah, the whole "buy a second to increase performance later on" seems a rubbish theory, because in this case when one could do with the added punch a second card will give they are near obsolete and super expensive due to low stocks!
Does the low stock situatoin affect second hand prices (for the better) for those who decide to sell the 480 ? Probably not.

Sheesh, even the 580's are going for less than a SOC now!

Buckster, I know you had your fair share of problems with your card and did a lot of testing.
Do you mind me asking the voltages and fan speeds/temps you have settled on?
I was lucky that my SOC was stable at stock SOC clocks on arrival (after PSU upgrade!) although am having trouble overclocking it.
I use AB (cant seem to get on with OC Guru) and I can up the core/shader clocks but cant get the thing stable! The memory won't shift at all above 1900Mhz
