**NVIDIA PRICE DROP: GTX 670 FROM £249.99 & GTX 680 from £329.99 Inc. VAT!!!**

[Yaayuh!]

NVIDIA have no plans to move any other prices and 760 is not coming yet, no ETA for that as I suspect NVIDIA will want the channel to clear through stocks on 660Ti and what is left on 670 first.

So VGA wise, there are no more planned launches now for a while. Apart from the huge major Haswell launch this weekend.

Thanks

Reasonable price drop on the 680 but the full size WF 670's haven't moved much. Less than £10 cheaper than when I got mine 367 days ago to be exact.

I was excited when I saw the thread title but yeah most 670s have barely changed, especially the WF that I'm interested in

What is the KFA2 like? I've never heard of them before.

That's much better. NVidia cards are now priced in line with AMD cards offering similar performance. I wonder whether AMD will cut prices further?

 

[JeditOjanen]

Well it will *probably* be unable to SLi with 680's.

On which note, I already have a 680. Is it economical to get a second for SLI and extend the life by however long rather than hold onto the single card and upgrade when that gets dated?

Worth going from a GTX560Ti to a GTX670? for 1900*1200 I'd like to crank up the details to high/ultra on some of the newer games and I feel the GTX560Ti struggles a bit now.

Yes.

KFA2 are a spin off from BFG and are a local (UK) company. RMA would be cheap and they have a good reputation. They are part of Galaxy also. I would buy without question but the 2 year warranty as opposed to 3 is a slight put off.

I went from a gtx 560ti 448 to a gtx 670 (2nd hand £100 bargain!) and even though the lower is a better card the difference is very noticeable.

Really? I don't think so. Still, better than nothing.

I'm sure I only paid £10 or less more for my EVGA 670 FTW than the new price is. I was expecting a bigger drop than £10.

Was considering going TRI-SLI, but I'm worried that 2GB will become an isue after the new consoles are out and games are designed to use more VRAM. While the GPU grunt of 3 670s will probably be ok for a year or so, I'm worried that the memory will become more of an isue sooner. So even with the nearly £10 price drop it doesn't seem like a good use of money.

I am rather happy they haven't dropped more. I took a punt against a 670 yesterday for 276 and with the £20 quid voucher I had plus the £10 cashback would out to be 246. Thankfully thatcard only went down 6 quid and not any more

Are we to expect Amd to move with their pricing structures on the 7950/70 now?

 

[Mr Krugga]

and who said it wouldnt happen ?

it was wise to advise people to wait so hopefully all the "should I buy now or wait for 700 series to appear" advice was well heeded in waiting.... anybody who didnt was not wise.

I didn't wait. Got myself a used HD 7970 for £190, though.

They have no real need too. The HD7950 and HD7970 are still cheaper than the equivilant Nvidia card.

680s need to come down further now that a 770 can be bought for £330

Agreed - a reference 680 for £280 would tempt me, closer to £300 and I would probably still sway towards the 770.

+1

reviews are out - a match for the 22 month old 7970Ghz in most games.... depending on the game depends on which card is faster, and some of the `ultra` clocked GTX 680`s are faster still.

NVIDIA say no.
