** NVIDIA GTX 970 REFERENCE EXCLUSIVELY AVAILABLE FROM OcUK IN EUROPE!! **

It's kind of lol that the hero car was a super mustang in a movie based off a game where the best Ford was the then amazing GT90 :P

How time has changed (I still love the GT90 though /drool).

What about your reference 980? That went up in price recently.

As I warned you all well over a month ago, reference cards were end of life, you will now find OcUK is really the only Etailor with stock of 980 reference and now we have made the business decision to increase those prices.

We did warn you over a month ago. :)

So I guess that means we WON'T be seeing it in the Black Friday deals then?

Not reference cards, no chance sorry. Even though I purchased thousands of them at launch due to know this shortage would come about, our stocks are very low. The last Gigabyte card sold out today and the rest of the cards showing in stock on our website are now all below 100 units in stock, we've got less than 500 total left and they are selling faster and faster as we become the only source for them.

Hence the price increase, and I warned everyone it would happen........
 
I want a reference GTX 970 badly but the price you have it set at is killing me. Especially when you see better preforming cards selling for a lot less. Personally I think it's about €20-€30 over priced.

Surly you can do some kind of special on them? It been the season and all that...

:D

Hi there

OK asked NVIDIA about this Best Buy card.

They have informed me we have a worldwide exclusive as an Etailor and as such our advertising is in line as BestBuy have that card available ONLY in-store exclusively in USA market for high street.

So it is only available in USA and only on the high street from only Bestbuy.

Also complained how Bestbuy are selling it below what I actually paid, the response was buy 100,000 units at a time. :D

Weird how there was no test or mention of the reduced coil whine technology that the card uses in their review, like if there was any at all, or if it was greatly reduced. Considering that this was one of the main selling points of the card, it seems to have been over looked in that review and makes it some what incomplete imo.

They do mention it, in that they have not had a coil whine problem on any of their 970 cards:

Additionally, we have been reading reports from users who seem to be experiencing GTX970 coil whine (including readers on our Facebook page).

I can’t say I have had the issue myself with any of the cards we have reviewed, but it could be in some way related to specific power supplies. Gibbo highlighted that reducing coil whine was a primary focus for the design of this card. He said they set the inductors in ‘different containers’ which ‘yielded the best effect of reducing coil whine’.

This is not something I can analyse in a real world test today however, because even though I have been listening hard for noise related issues all our test systems have paired up perfectly with any GTX970 we have reviewed to date. Nvidia will undoubtedly be pleased to hear that.

But anything you buy from usa you have to pay import vat and duty so it ends up costing same as uk.
