Hi there

OcUK is ready and prepared for this launch, we already have 1000+ GTS in stock so once NDA clears you can all get buying. :)

Depending on the price i could be ordering my £1200 system when released. Any chance you could give me a hint :D

and O.T. When will you be getting some more Zalman ZM-MFC1 controllers in.
 
I would say £260 and below is a very safe bet but when has gambling ever been safe.
Lets think about this £260 is approaching gtx price area so only place this can fit in is between the gtx and gt which leaves a gap of about £80 to play with.

£260 is close enough damn it gtx money, they wouldnt shift as they are not better than a gtx, they are the same at best.

im expecting the GT cards to drop down in price to what they should be and the GTS to be around £230

the new GTSs arent much faster than the GT anyway

errrr last time I looked ocuk had GTX cards for £260 :p

Gap between highend GT and GTX is now about £25.

So price on your basis would have to be between £235 and £260 ;)

And I reckon since GT cards now seem to be flying in everyday in reasonable quantities, I think GT will come down to rrp on GTS launch day - so about £30-£50.

With Gt's at £140-£180 range, it would leave room for the GTS to be £200-£230. Gutting news for anybody still waiting their GT at £200+ though.

Just sold my XFX XXX GT so im gona wait till monday to make my mind up,GTS,GTX Ultra or another GT.

Hope they got EVGA or BFG GTS as the warranty are better with them 2.
 
No cheapest gtx is £270 here so it's probably right a price cut due on the GT on release day and gts around £200-£230 then ?
hmm i don't see the blummin point though shouldn't someone just buy a second hand gtx if they are shelling out £250+ on this
 
No that is very very bad lol this just isn't worth it i was expecting at least a 15fps boost from a gt this card is not worth getting if you own a gt.
A 3fps better performer stock 4 stock than the gt :D madness to buy one unless it's £210 or less.
he says not realising that it may clock to 850/2000/2000 and be 20 fps faster than a gt.

Until we know they how they clock then I would reserve judgement.

The S1 cooler is nearly 20 quid and the GTS was only 19 after the sale of my GT so I figure I get a faster card,better cooler and more SP'sfor the price of sticking a S1 on my GT.:p
 
for anyone who's just purchased a GT it's simply a no brainer ...

the performance gain with the G92.GTS is simply not enough and it wouldn't even seem like an upgrade.

if you haven't purchased a GT .. depending on price it's a fine performer.

I'm waiting for the 9800's in Feb, until then my 8800GT OC2 will do just fine

;)
