HD 79xx Prices

[Surveyor]

If this has a thread already then apologies.

The HD 7970 is now available from £359.99.

The HD 7950 is now available from £299.99.

Perhaps easyrider should be allowed to remove the banana now.


Edit:

Hold the joyous celebrations.

Prices have been increased again.

Easy, put the banana back.


Edit 2:

Hi there

Just wait guys, our prices are currently the best. But DO NOT buy, wait a couple of days and we should be back to the prices the OP posted or there abouts.

 

[Surveyor]

Hi there

Shhhhhhh, you were not supposed to notice that so quick.

Hi Gibbo.

The cat's out of the bag now

Feel free to delete the thread if you want to make a big announcement.

 

[Surveyor]

Naughty Gibbo

Put the prices back down again.

 

[Surveyor]

7870 needs to come down!

The 7950 and 7970 need to come back down!

 

[Surveyor]

Have the prices gone up again or am I missing something? cheapest 7970 I can see is £396. £360 is fairly tempting for a 7970.

Yep, they've gone back up again.

i wonder if it stayed if the forum didnt notice it too fast

It's all my fault

 

[Surveyor]

Hardly stonking value, just what they should have been to start with.

The prices only lasted about half an hour

 

[Surveyor]

No I was talking £360 for a 7970 is what they should have been to start or at least under £400.

I appreciate that.

I was just saying that they came down to that price before they went back up half an hour later so that the cheapest is now just shy of £400.

 

[Surveyor]

Surveyor - Your too quick man and I apologize for the Dirt3 Code I did response to the trust message - sorry.

No worries.

I hope you enjoyed the game.

 

[Surveyor]

Surveyor you knowledgeable about Overclocking AMD processors like the 955?

Unfortunately not.

If I remember correctly the last AMD processor I had was an Athlon 64 X2 4400+.

I'm sure there must be something on the forum.

Is this any use:

Overclocking AMD's Phenom II X4 955

I don't even know if there are different flavours of 955.

 

[Surveyor]

Two things worth mentioning, firstly MOST AMD cards only have ONE dual link port, the other isn't dual link which can make more than one 120hz screen a bit of a pain, with any newer AMD card if you're looking to buy more than one monitor I'd recommend DP as the input for 120Hz now(which is a shame as Samsungs cheapest 120hz screen is god awesome, a great price and DVI for 120hz).

Most AMD 7 series cards only have 1 DVI connector full stop. It will be dual link.

6 series cards with 2 DVI connections have 1 single and 1 dual link. I don't recall any with 2 dual link.

5 series cards with 2 DVI connections are both dual link I believe.

Note the Terms & Conditions:

 

[Surveyor]

Says discount code can't be used with free shipping, so you miss out on a fairly hefty discount to save like £9 delivery.

Presumably you can have the 10% discount if you pay for delivery.

Does "other offers" include things like Today Only or This Week Only though?

 

[Surveyor]

OCUK discount is a joke, i dont even get free shipping, it cost me 13 quid this week and i've been buying from here since 2009

Have you linked your shop and forum accounts?

i still dont have access to the members marketplace either and that was flipping days ago !

Try contacting one of the Mods.

 

[Surveyor]

@ Mal X

Whatever is going on it's not "us lot" doing it.

It'll be down to the OcUK staff and/or the forum Mods (some people are both).

If you want to know specifically why you don't have free shipping or access to the MM then ask a Mod.

Hopefully they can fix it if something is wrong or explain why you've been denied those things if it's deliberate.

 

[Surveyor]

Yes running bf3 in 5070/1080 eyefinity on a 6950 unlocked, and a 6990 overclocked to 900/1300

That's an odd resolution.

 

[Surveyor]

Any info on the 7850 cards getting a price drop? If they come down by the same amount (£40 reduction) I'll buy one in a heart beat.

Don't hold your breath.

Nope. AMD not touching 78xx series, its flying off the shelves.

 

[Surveyor]

7970 is still £399, should i expect or to go down to £350?

Read the first post in the thread.

 

[Surveyor]

Yes yes, I should post 250 times and I am working on it, but without spamming I can only do so much.

There are quite a few people making 20, 30 or 40 posts a day without spamming.

Pay a visit to General Discussion.

I'm sure you'll find some threads there you can get involved in.

 

[Surveyor]

Is that right? 40 to 50 per day? At +420 quid per card? Who are these rich folks?

Hi and welcome to the forum (your first post anyway).

You'll find some of the "rich folks" here: So whos gone and got a 680 gtx then?

 

[Surveyor]

The first 1k posts seem to last forever, then the thousands roll by

Dunno about that.

It's true.

Your first 1,000 posts are taking a very long time.

You just need to get past that milestone.
