Pretty damn cheap - 100Meg switches are pretty old fashioned nowadays though...

My GTX260 is in stock... lol
None of your cards are except the HD4850, which is a Powercolor - and no offense, 12 months warranty isn't enough for a graphics card.
They're cheap because they're not in the country yet - the lower priced batches have yet to arrive.

Not bad, but too damn right really, the HD4870's a better card than the GTX260.

yep, same at OcUK, and they have one at £305 which is in stock tomorow.
BUT one CF 4850s, OR Cf 4850 and 4870 will IMO be a better price for performance.

It's not unfortunately Gm, a review tested a pair of OCZ 1000W PSUs and they turned off at 800W, both of them...
Shaffaaf: Of course they will, but nvidia really are hammering down the price of these cards. Even so though, until the GTX280 is less than the cost of two 4850s and the upgrade to a CF motherboard, the latter is more cost effective.

OR for 35 dollars more you can get a X48 motherboard. If you're a gamer, that's a good thing to have.

Gainward are making ATI cards? since when? £170 for a 4870 is certainly nice...
The GTX280 slips further down in price I see, it's now finally equal to the cost of two 4850s and getting a dual card motherboard. Still not sold though, too much heat for one card.... :P
As for the GTX260, as long as the 4870 even exists, let alone if it's cheaper, I'd take the latter.
Shocking as the cheap 4850 is, it's not in stock yet, but realising how long it'll be before I get a next gen card, I've set my sights on a 4870 not a 4850.
Personally for a 'top brand' 4850, I think this one's pretty good value:
http://www.scan.co.uk/Product.aspx?WebProductId=827816
and for the 4870:
http://www.scan.co.uk/Product.aspx?WebProductId=836590
£10 extra seems perfectly reasonable for that 'peace of mind'.... :)

£10 for the sphhire seems good, but the GB has the same 1 year waranty so IMO id just go for the cheaper one, the sapphire has 2 years.
anyway, i have not had a gfx card for over 6 months,(had 3 now) so to me the cheapest one for me is the best one, BUT i dont particularly liek the stock 4850 cooler, so depending on the his ICEQ price, i might get the stock one and an akasak vortexxx for £130.

12 months is a retail warranty. OcUK are royal pains in the backside about these, and to be honest, Scan are no better. If in the event the retailer is uninterested in warranty replacements, you go to the manufacturer. Gigabyte have their own RMA system, Powercolor certainly don't, and I don't think companies like Visiontek do either.
I agree that a longer warranty is better though.

Because we both want one... lol
Shaffaaf is soon to buy one, and I will be following suit in the near future. Plus these things are hot buys at the moment with a new PC, so any price cuts we can find will prove useful. We should really start doing it for the US too, I know.
