Got mine from scan for £369 in vat - bargaintastic, oh, and i run on 1280x1024, but with plan to get a dell 20" the next time i can catch them on aria, keep missing the buggers every time they sell them

Heh id hardly call it a bargain, lol but not bad.

And yes you need a new monitor, that res is pathetic for that card.

Ok fair enough, it's a great card but how can you justify spending around £400 on just the graphics card? Some people have more money than sense IMO.

I think they might say "because I can" . Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't, but I've heard worse...

I sold my old card for £280 - so it only cost me £90 to upgrade, cheap as chips

Some people just have different priorities. I can afford to put 2x 7800 gtx SLI with an FX57 and 2Gig ram etc etc. I just choose not to.
(xp2500@2.2G + 9700pro atm)

Some love gaming and messing with PC's, it's their passion/hobby so why not? Tis their cash. And it seems Derthballs got not too bad a return. Well done m8.

Your'e always gonna get the odd "I can p*ss higher than you can" clown now and again (which is very rare at Hexus).

However it would be interesting to see how long a top of the range gfx card will last i.e. when it's impossible to run a game at 1280x1024. Might do a poll/new thread on this.

heh i spent 387quid on my card brand new last summer, difference is i will keep it for another year easily.

I think it's mad when people upgrade every gen.

Smokey - your card isnt exactly running at stock speed though is it m8
