It's like I've gone back in time several weeks.

The GTX480 has been betweem £195 and £210 for ages on Scan..

Crap, they tell me this 2 months after I got my GTX 570..

tremendous to fold with.... come on over if you haven't already!
To be honest, I bought 2 of these and have been delighted with them since I bought them. They get hot, sure, but when you watercool them the only consideration you need to have is how much power have you got.
Seriously powerful cards that I will not be upgrading for a long time. Very pleased with them, and being a single card, so much easier to fit a waterblock than the original 295GTX that they replaced.
Did I mention great for folding on..... hint hint... 16-19k ppd on one of these when @ 800 Mhz.

Only on deal for the day previously. Now this is a list price reduction on 3 models.... ongoing...
subtle difference, the main point being you don't have to wait till the weekend deal for the day comes along now.

I have been watching the price intently as i was toying with a gtx480 b ut didnt get it in the end

Still a good chunk of change more than a 460, how are they compared to the 560s (ie same price range) ?
EDIT: Answered my own Q - http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/309?vs=330
Hotter, more power hungry, loses in some HDR bench but otherwise seems a better buy :)
Re: News - Price cuts make NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 480 interesting all over again
How do they compare to a 5850 unlocked to 5870 speeds?

By a strange twist of fate, that's EXACTLY how much you'd have to pay me to play Far Cry 2, which I decided was atrocious from the demo.

OK. Out pedant-ed. I'll revise.
Only on deal for the day, or limited batches of stock previously. It's just Scan commodity trading....
