There is no longer any excuse not to upgrade your system.

Wow that's a great price. Kudos scan, now to try and justify swapping my GTS for one

[da_ging]

just to add this is the 256mb one not 512mb and at this price totally kills the ati 3850's chances of success that's for sure

[jackvdbuk]

right. time to upgrade i think so!

have a 17inch monitor, want to play all the latest games preferably on max. will it be better for me to go 512mb (dont mind waiting for stock) or will this be fine!

oooh go nVidia

[LuckyNV]

*cough* any sign of the 512MB cards?

I'd say the 256mb would be fine but i'd wait till the 512mb's start appearing in better numbers to see what happens with the price

[staffsMike]

Blimey.

How will that compare the price of the other manafacturers? ..assuming they are all bringing one out

[TooNice]

£121.03 inc. Very nice indeed
The numbers aren't out, but I suspect that the 256MB will be just as good as the 512MB (give or take very little) up to 1680 x 1050 in many games.
Now if you can get hold of some get the 512MB version for £15x, you'll have my money

[PenguinJim]

Me too.

Edit: Or mine too. Whatever.

[chiyau]

looks very tempting and silly not to buy.

[Pob255]

Yes, But
I'd agree that 256mb should be fine on 17-19" monitor, but with the likes of Crysis being a massive graphics hog you might have problems with some games (well you'd have to lower the setting a little )

Must admit at first I thought but now we know it's the 256mb version I'm not quite so sure, have to find some reviews to see how well it performs.

Still, it should be far better than a 8600gts 256mb and roughtly the same price

[SiM]

Would 2 of these in SLi outperform a 512mb one at 1900x1200?

[JIM_BOB7813]

How does a 256MB GT compare to the old 320MB GTS?

[d19z]

Would it be possible to sucessfully SLI this card with a 512mb one?

If so I'm on the list too

[Agent]

Arghhhhh, if only it wasn't an XFX
Tempting....but I think i'll wait for other brands or the 512's to come in

[PenguinJim]

DON'T DO IT, AGENT!

SIX WEEKSish UNTIL JANUARY! YOU CAN DO IT!
