THE MAGNIFICENT 7: BIG DISCOUNTS ON GRAPHICS CARDS!!

Great to see OCUK looking after it's customers.

I've already got my 1080ti, but those prices look realistic compared to when I bought my card.
 
Can’t believe I missed this thread!! Hope the codes aren’t all taken yet! :eek:

Anyone know what the warranty is like for the Asus 1080Ti? I’m hovering over the buy button over here :eek:
 
Damnit, couldn't decide between 1080 / ti, eventually pulled the trigger on the ti, overkill for my current system, now need to think about a full system upgrade. I hate you overclockers :D

Is this some Nvidia like PR stunt ? Hello, pretty much every member here is/was a miner.

Anyway, good to see some reasuring, Nvidia prices seem ok. But where is my RX 580 ?
Your post is actually somewhat heart-lightening, sounds like promise for future.

Most everyone that I've gotten to know on this forum over the years has never even seen a mining program, Only Steam, Uplay and Origin.
 
I have no idea how you guys can spend £700 on a GPU and not immediately break down in tears. I just had to force myself to buy a tool for £30 and I'm shaking like a leaf :p
 
Hi FoxEye, the very first tool i ever bought cost more than what i got paid in a week.
It was a SnapOn Ratchet Screwdriver, it cost just over £32 while i got paid exactly £28 per week,
i still have it even now :) If you are having to fit 100+ self tapping screws per day it is well worth the layout.

£500 for a high end GPU that should last me at least 4/5 more years is not bad & only comes in at 2 Weeks wages.
With the way prices are going i consider it a very good deal.
 
Buy well, buy once applies to tools. And graphics cards. I got my 1080 just over a year ago and don't see me changing it for another 2 years minimum, most likely 3. I think sometime in 2021 most likely! Graphics technology has almost reached it's peak, the only thing that's going to demand more power is higher resolutions and frame rates but considering 1080p is still, by far, the most common monitor size (last Steam HW survey for January shows 71%. The next closest is 1366x768 with just 10%!) is there any chance that a 1080, or even a 1070 is going to become the limiting factor at 1080p? Not a chance any time soon. I know we're rather different here (and Gibbo thanks you for it! :D) but I really cannot see that changing. For potentially a decade or more.

When it comes to tools I tend to buy twice, first time cheap and then if it gets used enough the next one will be a quality product. I don't do that with PC bits though.

Got a 1080ti,Time to retire my 980Ti,had that 3 years been a good card,to old to care about whats coming out next month ect,for what I use it for the 1080ti will be more then good enough.
 
Still plenty of codes left, most popular so far is Strix with 19 sold using the voucher code, leaving 41 codes. :)
 
Can't believe they're not all gone yet - I thought I was going to miss out last night, let alone this morning.

Sounds like no one is spreading the word, which is a good thing :D
