Ah, I really wish I'd just bought that while it was £280 or whatever it was. Thanks for the answer Gibbo.

Protection money LOL

Sounds like something the mafia would use...protection money.

They made Gibbo an offer he couldn't refuse.

Any ideas if ocuk will stock the 780 ti next week next or would be longer as we are in the uk?
No they won't.
We know a lot more than you do.
780Ti is at a new high price point.
R290 Pro pricing is yet to be decided and whatever AMD do, NVIDIA need to do nothing, their sales are too strong and even if R290 was as a low as £330, NVIDIA sales would be un-affected.

$699 for the ti confirmed by Nvidia, should translate to about £550-600 in UK money.
Gibbo?

"780Ti is at a new high price point." that doesn't sound good.
Cant say I'm surprised though.

My understanding is that if a retailer buys price protected stock and then the manufacturer slashes the price then the manufacturer refunds the difference to the retailer to allow them to sell that item at the new price without making a big loss.
In this case I *believe* what has happened is that Nvidia have given OcUK the difference on their stock of GTX780's but Nvidia haven't given Inno3D as good a deal, and so the new cards at the new price (to OcUK) cost more than the old ones did minus the Nvidia protection money.
I could be way off on that ofc, just how I thought it to work.

Do you think prices will fall much by the time we get to the January sales? Thats the sort of time I'm probably going to be buying a new card.
There is already an Austrian site selling the 780 for €350, and that price includes the 20% VAT of Austria, so that at least gives me hope that there will be some more price drops along the way
We have no idea.
We can't predict the exchange rate then or if AMD or NVIDIA will make any more official price drops. Or whether any board partners will have any overstocks or slow moving lines to shift.
No they won't.

We will see, I know another site that has the Pny GTX 780 for bang on £400 and that's 1GHz+ with stock.
Sadly I can't find any reviews for that card.
