    I'm imagining forum members crashing your (Bit-tech's) server now.

    Probably will take more than four of us. :D

    Its been sighted for sale over in the US at $299.99!

    I expect we'll see it come in at just over £200 in the UK.

    That would certainly be a whole lot more palatable than £280.

    I'm not going for a poop til the review comes out, so I can read it on my phone in trap 3.

    Far too much information, Tom. :hehe:

    I'm expecting the retail price to be £220-£230, but I'm more interested in how well it clocks - then I can decide between the 660 & 670.

    I'll take a stab and put it at £269.99 launch price. Place bets now.

    I think it's going after the 7870 at £200, but with a performance premium. I'm going in at £229.99.

    Nah, another £20 will buy you a 670 - they can't be that stupid (I hope).

    I think sub £230 is the right point, if it's any more (And I'm inclined to think it probably will be) there's just no point. 670s are coming in at £280 now but you know, let's not trick ourselves in to thinking logic has anything to do with pricing!

    Awww thanks mate <3.

    I reckon £230 also. Would be perfect for me if I still have a job to come back to after my holiday! lol

    Ha ha.. I know that feeling. Stupid work. I use rdp though so they don't know what I'm up to and some of our providers services require mstsc, so I'm in the clear

    At least if it comes in with a silly high RRP it won't be long before partners drive the cost down. My reasoning for the higher RRP is that the card appears not to be too far behind the 670, which although available at £300 is still hovering a little higher than that on average at the moment.

    I think the 660 (non ti) is likely to be the £180-200ish part at launch, with the 650ti coming it much lower down around £110-130.

    I'm happy to be proved very wrong though, although I won't be buying one of course ;)

    Do we know when the 650 ti will be out? I'd like to see it given that the 640 was such a massive let down (Talk was of 460 performance from a £60 card pre release, sadly, no such luck!).

    My crystal (plasma) ball has spoken again! Still reckon these will be under £250 within a month though...

    Let's wait and see what the chaps say in their review though before pulling any triggers mate!
