love the Gainward "Good" bit.

Would anyone buy the card one down from that. The GeForce GTX 580 "Average edition" or may be the one down from that...

Great price on the 6950.

That's a terrible anogram tbh.

Be glad that it isn't Completely Redesiged Advanced Physx. Somehow I don't think even Gainward's marketing department would have let that one slip through

Lolz.

Can't decide on whether to ***** another £100 when I wanna upgrade to SB soon :S Apparently the unlocked stock cooler has the 6950 sitting at 90c under load which is unacceptable so that's probably the turning point for me as I'm currently not on water.

Dammit! Ordered for xfire goodness

My poor student loan! I'd just convinced myself I didnt need another one as well

Flogged my cards last week and couldn't wait any longer for the price drop when the new cards to come out, so bought the 6950

pv123 · 21 Feb 2011 at 16:15

Good deals to be had here, I already bought my 570GTX though! Waiting for some extreme sales on PSU / SSD

martian_aphid · 21 Feb 2011 at 16:23

Damn, so close. Got the 5850 in the basket and by checkout the deal had ran out :S wish I had spotted that earlier, was a fantastic deal!

[timko] · 21 Feb 2011 at 16:24

All 10 of the 580 and 20 of the 6950 at the "Today Only" price have gone. Hope no one arrived too late

Dammit, I missed the 6950 deals last week and I just got the card I ordered today. First thing I see after fitting the card and loading up is this.

Always check the front page of OCuk 9am in the morning Mon to Sat as that's when the deals are put up. (the one on Sat lasts until Mon 9am so it's 2 days for that and no new one on Sunday).

Grabbed the 6950 deal earlier this afternoon, so happy I resisted the Nvidia 480 at the weekend now

'Ossum deal, just wish I had time this morning at work to get on here and find it :doh

Any chance of more 6950 deals in the next week or so?

If it does return hopefully I spot it earlier this time because I'm sure it would sell out just as quickly again.

Good thing to know

Just hoping for some nice deals on the GTX 570 in the upcoming weeks (or, well, when the new SB mobos are out).

Just my bloody bollocking luck.. I paid £220 for the XFX 6950 yesterday.

CAT-THE-FIFTH · 22 Feb 2011 at 00:41

It would be nice if OcUK had the Asus HD6870 for under £160 on special offer.

But at least you get a nice black PCB whereas the ASUS model has the horrible (IMO) red one

Flylow · 22 Feb 2011 at 01:00

Bought a 580 also
