    Hi all,

    I was planning buying the GTX for about £185 from overclockers.co.uk but now they have put the price up to £197.68 !!!

    Does anyone know where to find a better price?

    Thanks

    Keep your eye on Overclockers, they often run one week only offers so it might come back again. Alternatively you could try this lot:-

    http://www.videocardshop.co.uk

    I stumbled across them a while ago but as the website says, their stock levels are pretty much real time so if you see something you want then buy it there and then.

    Thanks for the help! I was too dumb to do a price sorted search for a 8800 GTX at overclockers it seems :|

    I have bought the Bliss. Is there any difference between the makes beyond the sticker? Maybe better warranty? The electronics must be the same... right?

    all 8800GTX are exactly the same, just the sticker difference.

    BUT, if you read through the 3dmark06 HWBot thread, you'll notice one of our forum poster's Bliss 8800GTX cannot overclock as high, i don't know if it's an unlucky case or not.

    my Point of View is still holding up nicely *touch wood*

    try ebuyer... they usually are quite cheap. Otherwise, you might find something good in Scan

    Hmmmnnn... I wonder?
    £170 for a second hand, "bog standard" card, or £166.26 (+ P&P) for a brand new, pre-overclocked card - with a double lifetime warranty?

    Decisions decisions :idea:
