HELLO!?????? THIS IS NVIDIA REMEMBER!!!! IT SHOULD BE IN THEIR TAGLINE
Well to be fair Nvidia can only set a price. It is consumers who control the prices. For example imagine waking up tomorrow to find Scotlands voted to break up the Union, And out of the 1000 cards Gibbo stocked he still has 1000+ and more piling up by the end of the week? How long do you think the card would stay above £400? I reckon within 3 weeks they would be showing you the same kind of price cuts they showed for the 780. Because there is a huge markup on this silicon and Nvidia know were all idiots.
So dont be angry at Nvidia at all, Im Angry at the people who do lack the balls to play a game of chicken.

$450 + 30% UK ripoff tax = £350. £350 - EVGA tax = £300. So, it doesnt sound too far off from what everyone else has been saying
*edit*
not trying to insult EVGA with this, its just what i have noticed with their card prices of the cards i've looked at

As I said earlier, that Galax 980 SOC has a bit of my attention.

Excited now
Although I still am fully expecting to wake up tomorrow and see that the 670 is £350 and that the 980 is £450-£500 and be disappointed.
