If you ask me, the X850XT and the PowerColor X1900XT are both at really good prices.

There are some 7900GTs selling for the same price as that XT and the XT will be quite a bit faster.

i think the deals look pretty damn good.
if only i was looking to buy now. by the time i purchase they are likely to be a similar price but then i would have missed months of use!

Possibly on some items but trust me when I see this will not be repeatable on the X1900's for quite a long time.......

No moaning from me Gibbo...

Very suprised about the number of hardware on special offer this week. Going to be a very vusy week for you and the OcUK staff ;)

When I first saw the 'Over 75 Great Value Products', my first reaction was 'wtf, they have gone crazy' :p

The ATi cards are extremely cheap... too cheap, hehe. OcUK have excelled thier selves by selling the cards at these prices for a week. Great stuff.

I know that people go on about that they can find the cards cheaper elsewhere, but they dont have them in stock atm. OcUK by the looks of things have plenty of stock to go around as you are one of the main players in the market. Its understanable.

You could have got the Opty's on special offer this week, a cheap Dual Core could have done me nicely :D

Anyways, great stuff Gibbo. I'l get saving so when hopefully this comes along again, maybe next year I can save some money on such bargins like these :D

gibbo, ive currently got 6800gt scoring 6k in 3dmark05, an A64 3200 winchester @ 2.6ghz and 2 x 1gb of Corsair XMS PC 4400 Ram running DDR520mhz, what i want to know is it worth me getting an x1900XTX 512mb with my current cpu, or would i have to upgrade that to see any benefit? thanks

edit i run games at 1280 x 1024

Your CPU is fine, a X1900XTX will allow you to use high AA/AF setiings at 1280*1024 and still have a higher framerate than a 6800GT, but remember that a X1900XTX is PCIe only and not AGP

Yes I suspect you will hit over 10,000 marks and possibly 11k-12k with some tweaking. At these prices it would silly to miss out because if they sell out then I will have too take off sale and at the moment people seem to be diving in to avoid missing out, so please don't hang around if you've seen a deal you want from us. :)

Looks good but,

1) There isn't anything there i'm after for my upgrade next week
2) I have no money till next week anyway

I look forward to next weeks "This Week Only" though. Do us a favour & put some 7900 GTX's in it :D

When are we likely to see the 7900GTX's, preferably the XFX models come back into stock?

The x1900's perform on a par? why wouldnt you buy the ATI?

with an XT at 239+vat i think the 7900's are just lost, totally lost tbh
