    In that case I'm owed a refund, they've charged me twice for gifts that were around £30.

    Didn't it all change when LVCR was scrapped? I've had terrible trouble sending (gifts) to family in Jersey (and receiving things from them) since it all changed...

    I presume Royal Mail delivered it - was there a customs form on the front of the package? If so, what value was it declared at?

    Must have just about got away with it then :) Fingers crossed for me too! As it is royal mail they would have taken the payment for the customs etc first if they were going to take it at all I think - couriers tend to do the opposite...

    RM puts a card through your letter box and takes the money when you collect it from the depot, Courier will send you an invoice and then deliver once you've paid on line or you can take the invoice to the depot and pay and collect there.

    Very nice Tel. I still don't see why you think you need 4 GPUs just to design knitting patterns :rolleyes:

    They are complicated patterns just like Vale dunigan's jumpers

    On the 7 series cards the EVGA does light up

    Liking the look of that SLI bridge! I'll wait until a UK vendor gets a tri SLI one in stock.

    I wonder how the bridge knows what GPUs are attached to it? A resistance value or something?

    Is your bottom card in the very last PCIE slot on the board?

    I run 2 way SLI but I believe you could use that bridge any way. I'm trying to figure out if it would be the right length...
