Ooooo, Mister richie richpants over there!

The 295's are out today, get three of those instead for Triple Sli and I'll take those disgusting, outdated 280's off your hands for a 50 quid disposal fee/charge

to give you an idea of the value i payed ?630 for my 8800 ultra one and a half years ago both of these for ?552 delivered and one of these cards would destroy the ultra. got two because i want to run 30"monitor at full res

works out dearer than the 4870x2 but in sli these are very good in comparison

tempted to go with these instead http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-008-ZT
Why? For cost? You go the i7 route, and then get a cheap gfx card?

Grats Grim, shiny new performance PC...  collecting up the parts for a top specced PC to play all the latest titles with all settings to max on a 30" monitor on it's highest resolution...

* Fairy glares from cheap seats....

Just set up the rig I got Dual Core 6400, 4Gb Ram, 640Mb HD Space, 8800GTS 640Mb and I snagged a brand new 1908 Dell Widescreen monitor for free ;).  Total cost to me at the moment ?289.  F'ing bargain.

The different in price is massive!! Sadly more proof of how badly we get ripped off in this country! Wish I'd seen this a week or 2 ago when the exchange rate was almost parity. Still not so bad at 89p for a euro
