** NVIDIA PRICE DROP: GTX 780 & 770 MASSIVE PRICE DROP!! **

[teppic]

I wonder how AMD will respond? The 290X isn't overpriced, it's just that we've now got lots of OC 780s with good quality custom cooling vs a single reference 290X with a fairly poor cooler.

Whats with the reference cards going back up in price. Did I miss something?

 

[Scougar]

I would like it to go further, and i think it will, watch the 290/X prices come down next, a good old fashioned price war.

Bring these GPU prices back to reality.

Thanks to AMD.

Sounds like the card you want is the 290 (non-X) for your budget.

With the 290 for around £350 would be my best guess.

If they do £300? then Nvidia will have to drop again.

Quickly give them a call, you'll be able to get it changed before dispatch.

Yep all changed No fuss, great service.

438mm^2 vs 561mm^2 AMD have a much smaller DIE, more room to move price wise, the Brand specific coolers are also on the way.

Well hopefully this will force AMD to price the 290 non-X closer to £300 than we had hoped for

Mmmmmmmmm Xfired 290's

The 290 is almost certainly the reason for the nvidia cut timed now, but it still leaves the 290X for a month or so with only the reference model. With 780s at £400, the 290 can't be more than £350 now - which is very good for us.

@Suarez7,



Pointless debate.

Thanks to AMD.

Of course NVIDIA doing something good would be down to AMD in your eyes.

 

[whyscotty]

That need to be double checked, only the first batch had Samsung but things may have changed

You do know the Lightning is the best card ever though?

























Haha, only joking and I would have chosen the Classy over the Lightning.

@Suarez7,



Pointless debate.

Agreed, today is a good day for 99% of people buying cards, feel sorry for those who've ordered in the last few days though.

14 day money back?

Don't start Gregster, Classified was the reason I had to upgrade my PSU if you recall, my original choice from back then

Bit of a hassle, delivery costs etc etc.

Some might of already used the codes as well.

Is 650w going to be enough for a Classified?

Good new there then, wonder if Gregsters favourite now has Samsung also

 

[teppic]

What is it that makes the Classified better than the Lightning?

 

[Uncle Petey]

I'm afraid that's classified.






sorry
