[cbiltsouris]

[jay-uk]

oh ok cool i will hold off and see what people say about them

Isn't the GTX 560 card being retailed above the £200? Will be at £220 minimum, as rumored in Price of nVidia GTX 560 drops to compete – is it enough?

For less than £200 you have the "green" GTX460 or the "red" HD6870 (the HD6850 is even cheaper). They are both awesome "bang-for-the-buck" cards with good performance in resolutions up to 1920*1200. And later, if you can afford a SLi or Crossfire setup, you'll get a killer gaming PC capable of handling any game you throw at.

thanks johnny i will have a look

Wait for the GTX 560. nVidia is supposedly targeting the area between the Radeon 6870 and Radeon 6950 with it. That area of performance is a little to red for them.

I would wait to see what the GTX560 has to offer, With it being realised tomorrow........ You don't have long to wait.

 

[jay-uk]

Lol they probably messed up and had to take the listing down again seeing as it's not released until tomorrow
