Nah, I meant what I said. Besides who needs discount when you can afford it.

The GTS is not selling so good, only approx 40 units up to now.

This Week Only price cut? Perhaps a bit premature

I suppose people who would spend £380 on a card are the same people who are going to spend £499 on a card, and might as well go that extra £120 and have the fastest...

Hi there

This Week Only on 8800's I don't see that happening for a few weeks, why would you do a special on something when sales are flying.

*can't afford/justify one*

Hi there

I am back, I see the launch went for 2pm for everybody just ignored 7pm. Well cannot put it back now.

I am proud to say we've sold just over 200 GTX cards and sales are still flying. We still have plenty left in stock but don't leave it too long as these things are flying.

The GTS is not selling so good, only approx 40 units upto now.

The EVGA mainboard is very popular, 62 sales already and its surprising the amount of people who are buying 2xGTX and EVGA board all together. I forsee some killer systems been built this weekend and I expext to see some 500FSB goodness and 20k plus in 3D Mark 2006.

Gibbo just a few questions, when new hardware like this comes out, do you instantly want to upgrade your own system? Or do you get to take 'samples' home to 'test' and they just happen to never make it back to the shop?

Hi there

My home system is nothing special, an old P4, NV 6800 Ultra.
However the good bit is the 30" DELL. I don't really play games, just use it for internet and DVD playback.

x1900's must have been very poor sellers then as they were in 'The This Week Only' 2x days after release.

Ezyryder · 8 Nov 2006 at 16:22

Price: £424.99 (£499.36 Including VAT at 17.5%)

how cheeky

Ezyryder · 8 Nov 2006 at 16:27

Well, fair enough, if they are selling all of them, let the last ones be more expensive for all those guys that have got millions of £ to spend !!

LoadsaMoney · 8 Nov 2006 at 16:27

PMSL so it has, it must have gone up twice then, as when i came in just after 3 it was £493, so must have gone to that from £487.

Flanno · 8 Nov 2006 at 16:27

They musn't have many left I reckon.

I see lots of people not going sli but are still buying these 680i boards without waiting for reviews or more mainstream brands (asus,abit,dfi) to hit.
