Great SLI scaling from 450

Hi there

Before the 460 768mb price drop it was a well priced card that filled a gap coming in at £99.99 Inc. VAT and it will go down a storm with system builders.

But to most end-user they will just pay the extra for a 5770 or GTX 460 768MB card. :)
However the GTS 450 does seem quite a good clocker with 950-1000MHz quite easy to achieve.
 
This all gets made fairly pointless when AMD goes in and updates much of the range and makes performance better at every price point and looks highly likely to add a new performance level at the £150-170 price point.

This has been Nvidia's biggest problem since the 8800 series, complete inability to delivery midrange and low end performance anywhere remotely close to when the high end comes out, even after the high end was massively delayed.

Reason the 8800gtx didn't kill AMD was the 8600-8300's weren't out till almost the same time AMD got their mid-low end out. THe 280gtx/285gtx delay till getting a mid/low end out was ridiculous aswell.
 
Just to be clear, it isn't OcUK that set prices on these cards, so don't kill the messenger/etailer as such.

I'm sure the cards will still sell.
 
If there are manufacturers making some single slot version and if it is priced below £100, pretty sure there is a market for it considering the XFX single slot 5770 is around the £130 on average.
 
Apart from the single slot physical benefit (something I hadn't thought of), it seems even the 460 768 kicks the 450s arse for a very similar price. (and the 460 768 appears to best the 5770 by a reasonable margin as well).
