    I hope they remember it's a $200 card ie £135

    It needs to come down max £150inc

    Problem is manufacturers overclocking cards but then charging a premium so it's no longer a budget option. Changing two settings isn't worth £20 and is particularly annoying when they don't bother to upgrade the cooling. Extra heat and noise for £20 more... no thanks. OK there is extra performance but only a couple of FPS in real world terms doesn't make much difference any game.

    Manufacturers should start using the arctic & zalman coolers as standard and leave the tweaking and overclocking for the user to decide at NO additional cost. If they are going to use crappy stock coolers then they should extend the warranty to cover the fitting a decent silent fan.

    End of rant.

    Good to see an AGP card for all those who don't want to upgrade their mainboards just yet but I do hope they can reduce the UK price for those on a tight budget with a reluctant to upgrade mindset.
