** NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 900 SERIES PRICE DROP!! **

[Gibbo]

Hi there


We I shall keep this simple, NVIDIA are rebating our inventory until end of July buy rather large chunks particular on 980Ti and 980, 970 has had a little drop but as it is still selling like crazy not much of a move has happened here. OcUK has also done its own price drop on 960 with no support from NVIDIA.

This pricing should now be the lowest in the UK on each GPU:



GTX 980Ti from £399.95 Inc. VAT - CLICK HERE!


GTX 980 from £319.99 Inc. VAT - CLICK HERE!


GTX 970 from £217.99 Inc. VAT - CLICK HERE!


GTX 960 from £145.99 Inc. VAT - CLICK HERE!



This pricing absolutely dominates the market and stock will sell out very quick and with stock being low, if your considering an SLI upgrade, now is the time to act.

I wouldn't pay £400 for an 980ti when you can get the 1070 at the same or less cost, and most of the good cards are still priced above £400.

The 980 at £300+, no one is buying that.

980 was selling pretty well at original price, now it will sell great.

Gibbo always find the shortest way to new price actions. I am not worried about that. He's a great guy with the right job.

Cheers buddy!

I always pride myself in being first to market and being pretty much king of VGA. It is why our listings of 1080/1070 are far bigger than any competitor, we also have free shipping enabled on every single one and on the most part our pricing is very competitive and we shall always get the lions share of stock.

Isn't the 1070 faster and cheaper than the 980ti?

I've not played with a 1070 yet but from talking with board partners they say this:

Stock 980Ti vs Stock 1070, the 1070 pretty much wins all the time.

But the 1070 does not overclock anywhere near as well as 980Ti, so say a 980Ti such as EVGA SC/FTW or Zotac AMP actually rivals 1070 and can beat it.

When both cards are OC to maxed, the 980Ti tends to win as 980Ti is simply a far better overclocking GPU.

 

[Gibbo]

Yeah that pretty much sums it up. If you're going to plug and play then go for a 1070 but if you're overclocking go for the 980Ti. That said, it could change if driver improvements occur which could push the 1070 higher OC vs OC but here and now the 980Ti is faster when comparing overclocked results.

Drivers from experience do not help much with OC ability, they can just unleash additional performance.

 

[Gibbo]

Indeed. The 1000 series is showing improvements in DX12 aswell, and as you say with driver improvements the gap is only going to widen. Going forward, i wouldn't even consider a 980Ti at this point, unless it was cheaper. The 980Ti is only going to be slightly faster if you get one that can consistently hold 1450mhz+ stable.

From our testing pretty much every 980Ti does 1400MHz plus with ease, it is beyond 1500MHz that was an issue. However I will admit I did my testing on early reference and custom cards. So the latest batches could be worse or better.

 

[Gibbo]

People are upgrading from 980ti's to 1070's?? Why on earth would you bother? Surely the performance is so close as to make no difference?

Would be pointless, so agreed!

 

[Gibbo]

but 1080 is a good performance upgrade from 980ti no ?

Yes 1080 is a good leap, but a 980Ti is not slow, to be honest 980Ti should handle any game.

It is only 4k and VR where 980Ti may struggle and this is where 1080 is vastly superior.

If you want the best and always upgrade then yes 1080 is better, but you need to ask yourself, DO YOU NEED TO UPGRADE.

I got 570gtx I do, now if i want 1070 or 1080 thats the question currently on 1080p but planning to go 1440p on Christmas..

980ti, 1070 or 1080 are a huge leap from a 570GTX.
