It is too much to ask? :p
 
Go for the Gigmsihisasusbutdeffonotsapphire 7950..

If you want quality, both will do the job but from a personal POV, I would go with MSI.
 
I have a Windforce 460 card atm, and it's oh-so-quiet :) Silence is golden, as they say. Don't think you can really go wrong with either MSI or Gigabyte from what I've read.

Not so sure about Asus or HIS. I mean I'm sure they're good cards, but not sure how quiet. HIS in particular is supposed to be a bit noisey.
 
i think it was worth a try, if dont ask dont get^^

Yeah I don't know what their margins are, or what their suppliers charge them, but I *do* know what those cards are worth to me :p No harm in just putting it out there...
 
Well should everyone just put threads in each section pleading for £20 off all their next wanted purchases then?
 
I'm not being grumpy at all lol. I just thought I'd tell you threads like this are pointless. If they listened to all threads like this they wouldn't be in business.

maybe they want some ideas for their next This Week Only or one-day offers.

I'm just saying, there's money here if they want it. Only they can make the call whether or not my money is good to them or not.

not everyone can afford everything they want. sometimes, people ask for discounts, and sometimes they get them. maybe you don't, but maybe you don't have to.
 
Fair enough, just seems a little desperate if you ask me, but each to their own :)

What I don't get is why it bothers you? If OcUK get enough feedback and decide to run a good promo on the cards I mentioned, everybody wins.

But you seem to want prices to stay as they are... so I have to ask, have you recently bought one of those cards? :D
 
no doubt their this week only is based on how an item is selling rather than haggle posts lol, since we're doing a just sayin' :p

gl though lol (and yes i totally just bought a 7950, but for me it was the right price already!)

No I haven't bought one of those cards actually, I'm looking for one of them but I just don't see posting on their forum changing their decision on sales. Maybe if like 100 people asked.
 
Save the economy and splash the cash.

The economy's screwed anyhow :p

Actually many of us can afford these cards at their current prices, myself included.

What many of us have said is that they simply aren't worth the current asking price. I never intended this thread to be a "begging" thread, even if it has been interpreted that way (or maybe I just got trolled!)

Nope, all I was saying is "This is how much these cards are personally worth to me."

They don't have to listen nor lower prices. I know they'll do what's best for their business, as they should. The thread is pointless. Agreed! Let's have a group hug, now.
