*****NVIDIA PRICE DROP - OcUK First NVIDIA GTX 460's from £99.99 +VAT!*****

Hi there

Update from NVIDIA this pricing is set to only last 6-8 weeks, after this time pricing will go back to normal. However what could happen is NVIDIA will see incredible uplift in sales and decide to keep them at this pricing.

But this is just a warning, my advice is to buy now, as in 6-8 weeks prices could jump back up £20, so just a heads up. However they won't get any cheaper for sure. :)

I'm now hoping this will spur Ati into reducing the price of the 5830 :D

We could do with another price war!

5830 is a dead card!

Its now down to AIB's to support special 5830 pricing and the only problem is any AIB's supporting lower prices on 5830 is not a price drop but a huge price loss to that AIB, they loose big money.

We have seen small drop in Sapphire and XFX, but nowhere near to these levels, the 5830 is about £20 more, but in fairness the 5830 is faster than the 768MB. The direct competing card to the 768MB is the 5770 1024MB, the 5830 sits just under the 1024MB GTX 460 in performance and is priced to reflect this already.
 
Makes sense for Nvidia to do this price cut, they don't really have a choice as the 6700/6800 series is rumoured to launch on 25th of October. We should know for sure by October 12th when ati/amd have ther 6 series event.
 
I see 5770s being EOL or £100 any time soon.

Great prices on the OcUK one and Asus, ****ty pricing from EVGA on the card that doesn't sport anything over the reference one, including warranty, Palit is a joke.

Radeon 5830 is now an utterly pointless card.

I am thinking the same, having got the same card as you. Also would there be any point in going for anything other than the cheapest of the above, in terms of performance and overclocking potential..?

Not a massive difference I would say - sure the extra vRAM will help loads if you're maxing your card out, but it wouldn't be as much of a difference to be black and white.

There is a big deference game depending, the 460 will oveclock high as well giving substantial gains in performance, makes no difference if you go cheapest 460 or slightly more expensive ones. A lot cooler running compared to a 4870.
 
Guys remember 1GB ones don't just have extra memory, they are also 256-Bit memory interface so for users playing games at 1920x1080 or higher the 1GB card does offer quite a performance boost. :)
 
Shame about the 1GB one not dropping... it would've been my card of choice, now I'm conflicted, as these are better bang for the buck even if they are slower! :(

Gotta hand it to you guys though, you're quick! I expected the price drop to take up to a month to filter down to consumer prices!
 
Dang, those are cheap! SLI ocuk 460's at that price is just mental bang for buck.. I'd grab two if I hadn't already bought a 1GB!

I keep telling myself that, along with the ROPS. It's working!
