Nice one

Seriously tho, well done for the influence on that, it's nice when the big boys listen to the people buying these things, Bit-tech we salute you

Really like the idea to follow through to secound user of the card, have you found out if thats going to do anything to prices?

Probably off topic but are there any major cuts on prices for high end cards planned before next year?

Edit/ Lol at your avatar bigz

I'd expect the main effect this will have on prices is that people will be asking more for them 2nd hand than they currently do...

Which is great for those who buy new and regularly upgrade - and obviously the second user gets peace of mind. Which can only be a good thing in the hit-and-miss world of internet fleamarkets.

I've been in a meeting with XFX this morning and the price of cards will not be increased as far as I know.
