Or the fact nvidia have dropped prices below AMD yet people are still saying the prices aren't acceptable lol as they should have been this price at launch.

If its in the product description under free items then you will get them, if there is nothing there, then that product has no promotion. Though do a hard refresh and if they appear they will automatically add to your basket.

We have only just done this so it only counts for orders placed after 13:00!!!

Thank you, just going to order now. I think the second one will mean I can't use my soundcard anymore but been looking for an excuse for a USB DAC so all works out.

So from an unbiased perspective - which is the stronger card?

I'd be watercooling it, so supply of waterblocks for the 290x (and the 290x itself) are hard to come by.

What would you guys buy? Currently on a 7970 Lightning.

290X is faster by a mile. If you're overclocking on water then 290X a no-brainer.

This is the kind of stuff which labels people AMD fanboys, the card isn't faster by a mile at the most used resolution.

Ordered, awesome, hope it ships today and arrives tomorrow

This just makes no sense and looks like you are annoyed for some reason? Chill out bud and I am sure AMD will be dropping prices as well, so good for everyone

I have seen loads of people claiming the 780 is faster than a 290X, which isn't true, and loads of people saying AMD is dead, AMD are finished blah blah blah.

Reaper 392 · 28 Oct 2013 at 13:14

Does anyone know if these price cuts will trickle their way down to the 760? I would love a 770 or 780 but as a poor student I just cant justify that much money on a graphics card

the1gooner · 28 Oct 2013 at 13:14

My head is spinning, wow it's all kicking off with great deals :eek:

Do I go for 280x, new 280x coming, 290 on it's way, 770 or 780.

Really can't take it all in at the mo.

I have to say...while the current price of the GTX780 with the free games are good value now, I still agree that this price should had been there since launch

There's no denying the GTX780 was very overpriced.

With the free games do you get game codes or physical copies of the games?

Not sure why you would even consider a 290x at their current prices when a Gigabyte 780 gtx OC is the same if not faster out the box, is cheaper,comes with a more valuable games bundle, uses less power, and only runs at 67 degrees and is silent.....

Says electronic. So either an email or piece of card with codes on it.

Noxia · 28 Oct 2013 at 13:16

Well freebies don't show in basket but hey ho. I'm sure I'll get them.

It seems if you own an Nvidia GPU, you are an Nvidia fanboii and if you own an AMD GPU, you are an AMD fanboii. Quite sad really and this labeling is out of order. Some quite happily switch between the 2 vendors and don't care for either in loyalty terms.

This nonsense has to stop but if you look through this thread (which is a good thread promoting Nvidia prices), you will see the odd scorn thrown in by the odd poster for some reason and at both brands.

I say GPU pricing wars is the best thing for us gamers and may there be more of them.

So overpriced it sold incredibly well still? Considering new cards cost £400-500 8 years ago I don't think it was overpriced at all.

They don't and never have done, the freebies are part of the card, so won't show in basket.

Think I'm going to hold fire until the bf4 benches later this week....
