    GO! GO! GO!

    Absolutely incredible price people.

    I've already posted this in the marketplace, but this is just too good a deal for anyone to miss!

    Especially when Overclockers has the Asus card on preorder for £459!!!

    Oh, how bad would it be to go for this when I already have a 480?

    Mmm, 580. :D

    That must be a typo, surely they meant to actually put up a 480 for that price??

    definitely order it, after all, it says only charges when the item is available.

    you can still cancel it if you fancy ATI cards in a week's time.

    Perhaps now is the time to try an overly excessive 5970+GTX580 PhysX combination ;)

    Step 1 done, I guess Step 2 is see if they honour the order :)

    on the blue OCuk forum in gtx580 thread, there's someone who've ordered two, and have received Email saying it's been dispatched. so it's looking good :)


    edit: wtf. i've been banned on OCuk because i did a price drop too often at 23th hour? their rule is 24 hours between price drops. how else can i synchronise my sales thread? worst forum ever, full of annoying immature fanboys.

    still, it's not like i purposely try to break their silly rule. 24 hours for each price drop? come on.

    makes you wonder how can they have such a large amount of visitor, when there are unnecessary rules left and right. Bit-tech is far more relaxed and well organised.

    Almost felt the same way until I realised that not only is the 5870 £100 less, it'll also hold out nicely until the next gen cards are out next year.

    What card are you upgrading from?
