*****NVIDIA GTX 780 IS HERE & IN STOCK - GET ONE TODAY!!**

[Tonester0011]

And this is a reason why Nvidia and AMD may keep on raising the cost of these cards.

Yay

Pure conjecture.

 

[TheRealDeal]

Fair play and after looking further into it, it appears that LoL works on AMD with TriDef now. Please accept my apologies

No problem man

Will a single 780 be bottleknecked by PCI-E 2.0?

Also, how much would I get if I sold my 680 (reference design)?

God no.

To give you an idea

I'm thinking about getting GTX 780 from Evga - the ACX version - but the fact that US difference of $10 between the reference and ACX turns into £80 (or relatively £30) is just beyond me.

Simply proves were getting ripped off terribly by nvidia or the shops were buying off. Disappointing really as both want loyal customers while ironically treating them poorly.

 

[Kaapstad]

Nope, I have not been ripped off because I have enough money not to care - I just got the GPU which will be the best for my needs, price doesn't really figure into it. But, anyway, that's irrelevant because I feel that I have got a good deal - I honestly couldn't care less about whether other people think I've been ripped off, they can worry about it all they like, doesn't affect me.

Well done sir, spend your money the way you want to and enjoy.

My Titan runs @PCI-E 2.0 and does not have a problem, I could use PCI-E 3.0 but I get better stability for the rest of the system using PCI-E 2.0

The difference between PCI-E 2.0 and 3.0 is tiny, less than 1%

People do take notice then.

Tridef:

Can cost as little as $25.

Works on any native 3D source(TV's/Projectors/Monitors).

Can work with either Nvidia/AMD.

Don't have to purchase a 3D vision kit:

~£440 7950 CrossFire setup+$25 for Tridef.

Equivalent Nvidia 3d vision setup:

~£580 670 SLi+£85 for 3D vision.

League of Legends, does work with Tridef btw.

Some prefer 3D vision, some prefer Tridef, it's up to the individual what's 'better', as I haven't used Nvidia 3D, I can't comment, but I have noticed two users comments@OcUK that have used both at length and it was one a piece.

Although why did 3D get brought into the equation?

One thing I noticed on my AMD was on bf3 you could just go in the options and turn on 3d without paying or downloading any extra software.

Same game on nvidia they want £30 to play in 3d and then a mess around switching it on and off.

I don't like 3d though makes my brain ache.

Dunno, bit off topic, I bought the nvidia 3d with a 680 and it was spur of the moment purchase, but have to say, I do love 3d gaming, a lot more than I thought I would, play in 3D all the time. Thanks for the tips with tridef, though, don't want to be too tied in to either card manufacturer

Not the point. Bill Gates can spend £1mill on a bottle of water and it won't affect him at all. He won't feel ripped off. Doesn't change the fact that he has been. What it does change is how manufacturers start charging hence affecting others. I hope that was simple enough to understand.

 

[se_vietboi]

Pure conjecture.

We know. Notice the word "may".

 

[humbug]

Ripped-off is when someone is changed to much money for something and does not know or understand they have been.

I'd rather you didn't try to be patronising thank you, I am doing a Physics degree so I hope you don't make the mistake of assuming that I'm unintelligent with such mannerisms again.

Anyway, the point is that some people have this weird opinion that they're entitled to be able to afford the high end graphics cards that appear in the scenes every year. If you can't afford it, then tough luck. If you think it's too expensive, then that's probably because you can't afford it - and thus, again, tough luck.

We're not all entitled to have everything we want for cheap - nVidia aren't a charity, nor are they a budget retailer; they won't pander to the whims of some who can't afford their graphics cards.

PhysicsMan94 . I cannot believe you only have a 3770k processor, Although i understand if you Probably CANNOT afford a better one.

No that's just my planned build at the moment - I may go X79 with i7-3930K, haven't decided yet.

Nothing wrong with a 3770k, for use with a single card it is better than any of the CPUs I use.

 

[Ian Evey]

only a 3930k ?

 

[PhysicsMan94]

3970X is pointless for my requirements.

 

[Kaapstad]

What would you recommend ?

I never said there was anything wrong with an i7 3770k, i was just surprised that someone who thinks that ( just because people dont like the price of PC stuff ) that he assumes they cannot afford it and he obviously can, had such a cheap processor.
