Ouch, still very pricey.

I paid £220 for my GTX 280 last year, think the 285 needs some of that action.

 

[BigBruiserAl]

Early aprils fools or no?

 

[Slackworth]

As I said above the 5000 Series is easily better value. The Nvidia partners are just milking what they can get as the only product freely available at the moment is the GT 240 and below - it's embarrasing to be honest.

Good signature

 

[Martini1991]

Lul's. That's a terrible price. Only fanboys can justify the purchase, I guess Rroff and Duran will take 2 each?

 

[dave1983]

Wow thats a lot, Tut Tut Nvidia, maybe they should drop the prices, the chance of that happening is like seeing a pig fly

 

[Slackworth]

There's no point dropping the prices as they don't have any stock anyway. They could all offer us £60 on a GTX 260 but if they can't ship any at that price then they're wasting their breath.

 

[craptakular]

roflcopter what a rip

 

[rolypolyman]

Mmmm...... no thanks.

 

[gurusan]

I would have thought this would be a GTX 295 price. Still, there are bound to be people willing to pay that.

 

[Poontun]

I would love this card, sadly that price is completely unjustifiable.

 

[cook001]

I might have thought about it at £199 but £299

 

[antran]

wow, that's expensive. Only if the 5870 at £299 = )

 

[Freddie1980]

Given that the GTX285 is comprehensively beaten by the Radeon HD5850 which was retailing for £230 a £300 GTX285 is laughable but that not the retailers fault but the fault of manufacturer who can't make the chips cheap enough.

I wonder how much Fermi will retail for?

 

[area512003]

My 5770 XFire beats the 285 and 5850 and I paid £224 for the lot!!

 

[Farore]

Lack of competition is never good for consumers...
