Can anyone tell me why this card i so cheap. Its a novatech own brand, but it it likely to be crapper than any other make? Its so much cheaper than the 300 quid you pay elsewhere.
I'm after one for this guy at work, but I dont wanna get him a dodgy one.

Looks legit, I would have got one myself if I had known...There isn't much difference between the brands, it's really a case of which one puts together a better bundle, and if they pre-overclock them. You might wanna try contacting them first, because they have a pic of a 6800GT there

It is agp so that explains a lot price wise

i'm gunna phone up novatech later and ask them to confirm its type. If its all good, i'm gunna get it.

never heard of novatek look at the resellerating.com. Well all 6800's are the same so if its legit I say go for it.

6800 AGP Ultras have been at that price for ages!

Have they? I had no idea.
I do know Novatek. Iv'e been on their website before so i'm almost cirtain they are legit.

I've used Novatech for many years (since 1995 I guess) - they are based down in Portsmouth IIRC and have always given good service.

AGP ULTRAs are around 270-300 quid. This looks like a brilliant deal, but I think I will skip and go for a 7800GT

6800 AGP Ultras have been at that price for ages!

Ages as in like 2 weeks? Those are supposed to be ala 6800GT prices... Regardless whether they are AGP or not...

Its deffo a good buy if you're looking for high end AGP cards...

[nvening]

Well i was seeing them months ago, just my bargin hunting skills, infact i posted one in deals forum but no one cared

[sawyen]

oh well... lets hope Nvidia decides to port 7800GT to AGP...

[nvening]

it will

[blueprint]

you reckon? When?!

[mike_w]

it will

I thought nVidia had already said that there won't be an AGP version? Unless they've changed their mind!
