    Still showing up as €81.99 for me in the 4th entry....but when I checkout it goes to 107.46. Earlier it was checking out at 82 fine. Must have expired and the price is still in my cache thing.

    Ah well, sorry to raise your hopes :o

    Not sure what else is about but those are very solid prices.

    Edit: Looks like you need to be signed up for these and you need to click through the relevant email link. check your email account for VIP Sales. :/

    Only possible if you have a friend/relative in the U.S. to ship/bring back to you as AFAIK tigerdirect don't ship outside the U.S. if ordering online!

    That being said it's a pretty good deal!

    Works out at ~81 euro, which is nearly a saving of 20 euro when compared to dabs.ie or hardwareversand. Not sure if you can get it this cheap anywhere else in Ireland.:confused:

    Also only saw this after the extra $10 coupon expired.....sorry :(. Would've worked out at ~73 euro then! :eek:

    Not sure how much shipping would be but if you know anyone coming back from America soon, *cough* J1-ers *cough* :D, it would be a pretty nice deal!

    If you are looking to get a 660ti at the price its suppposed to be istead of the inflated Irish and uk prices, do what I just did.

    I bought off caseking.de Their website has a link on the right that makes it mostly english.
    They have most brands but I choose the EVGA SC edition @ 309.90 euro.
    Then I used this code at checkout to get 3% or 9 euro off, code:cafb1f

    Then I put in my normal Irish billing address and then changed the shipping address to my Parcel motel one (I still have my free credit there) as Ireland shipping is 35 euro and UK is 13.90.
    Shipping is with GLS, supposed to be 24hrs delivery.
    You can pay by credit card (2 euro charge) or paypal (4 euro charge)
    So price delivered turned out to be 316.50 Euro.

    Their 660ti prices start @ 299.90.

    Hope this helps someone.
    I am surviving on igpu at the moment.

    PC World have a few Video cards on clearance at the moment. Picked up a new Asus 6670 for 59.99 for my second PC, came with a free PC Installation Kit too...nothing mind blowing, but it's a decent case with a mini pliers, screwdrivers, cable ties and an anti-vibration mat.

    They also have a GT430 for 49.99, and GTX550Ti's for 119.99...pretty decent prices for bricks and mortar if you're looking for something quick.

    Rather buy a 6850 than the 550ti, poor card.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,408 ✭✭✭Gadgetman496


    How much better is the Asus 6670 over the GT430 or is there any difference worth noting? I'm not up to speed with all these different cards, not being a gamer as such they're all just numbers to me really :)

    Yes, but the entire point was that the prices are decent for a walk in store. If you walked into Currys/Maplins/Whichever store with a 6850 in mind, you'd probably pay far more than it's worth. For example while I don't think they stock the 6790 or 6850, their 7770 in PC World is priced at 240 euro....which makes the price: performance pretty bad. Some people, for whatever their reason, don't really buy stuff online. The Bricks and Mortar value for money scale is quite different than the online one.

    Haven't tried it but I would imagine it's not very good. In that sort of price range there is only one option that I would consider and that's the Google Nexus 7. The 16GB version is only €239.99 in HMV but you will have to put your name on a waiting list as demand is very high.

    Looks like a great value 7870 on hardwareversand:

    Sapphire 7870 for €222

    A good bit cheaper than most other 7870s, but if I'm missing something, reply in the BA discussion and I'll delete this.
    Seems quite generous even with the recent price cuts.

    Beware that is a SATA II device and therefore not too future proof. There's better value to be had in the 6 Gb/s market IMO.

    - Interface Speed: 3 Gb/s
    - Seq Read (MB/s): 230MB/s
    - Seq Write (MB/s): 190MB/s

    For example this one is SATA-III for only £30 more:

    http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-077-OC&groupid=1657&catid=2101&subcat=2393

    What brand?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,930 ✭✭✭✭TerrorFirmer


    Asus. They have different vendors of several cards, but it appears to the Asus 6670/6450/6770's that are reduced. I got a 6670 for 49.99 a few weeks ago. They even have different classes within the vendor, eg. they had a 6670 Media edition, and a 6670 Gaming edition, both Asus, the only difference being about a 20mhz clock speed, but the Media edition was reduced to 49.99, while the Gaming edition was still 149.99....

    None(6770) in carrickmines, and his system said €150 and that there was no stock in the entire ROI. Must have been old stuff being cleared in galway. Would have been nice as I could Xfire it.
