You guys think £335 will be enough for a reference card?, come on Gibbo, throw us a bone!

Looks like AMD is getting desperate;

Oh yeah I understand that, was just curious. I tend to have my i7 920 @4.3GHz on air (HT disabled when running FSX) but for most games I'm happy leaving it at 4.0GHz (HT enabled) and never had any issues with it.
For gaming on the latest CPU demanding games it will likely benefit you more to disable HT and overclock higher
On SB it isn't the same case as with HT on it doesn't effect OC'in much.
Yes, there or there abouts.
I reckon you might have to stretch an extra 5er.
Gibbo stated they are sub £350 for the reference, on release I think £340 at the lowest because of price gouging.

Re price -if you can get a 680 for 399 - ref - which you can....
Why would you not spend the 60 quid more and have that.. Surely this needs to be 320 max to be relevant?

Its desperate to show value, and confirm you have stock?
There's been no 680's in the US pretty much since launch, and whats in stock over here is priced at a level that most punters pips squeak, its not exactly the ideal scenario is it? I'm glad I managed to get my 680 at a decent price as the current prices of stuff in stock is horrendous.

Is the 680 £60 better in terms of performance though?, I think where things come into question will be the custom gpu's, I think anything over £360 and you might as well go for the 680.
Who actually manufactures the OcUK GPU's?

Usually Palit or another brand.
The same people who manufacture reference Gigabyte/Asus/Zotac/Palit ect. GPU's
They are typically branded cards, I suspect it is just whoever they have managed to get in on a good deal which is why they are out of stock until such a good deal happens.

It's the final countdown 60 minutes to go
yay 670 tab is back on the storefront
Hope Gibbo has turned server power saving off

Why not transfer a little bit more just in case? Better to have too much (and then transfer back the unused) than not have enough and have to wait until Monday to receive the card.
On that basis, my local petrol station has petrol in stock. Clearly no one is buying petrol...
Oh wait it doesn't work like that.
AMD have created a big enough supply to meet demand and exceed it. nVidia on the other hand don't appear to have been able to achieve that in the US.
Sitting on the fence about what I will do here, if the reviews look good I will go for it but the 7970 is looking even more attractive if the price drops even more.
