Komplett or OcUK are about the cheapest.

There is no hardware difference between the cards they are all the same from the various vendors, the price difference stems from the following aspects;
Bundle games, extras etc.
Cooler stock or custom job
Clock speeds is it an overclocked out of the box version.

Stock speeds for the 7800GS are;
Core: 375Mhz
RAM: 600Mhz (1200Mhz effective)

So you can tell the stock versions from the overclocked ones.

Thanks man!!! about overclockers.co.uk are they a good company? I've never used them before and there prices seem good...I've just spotted the 512mb version of the 7800GS my god the temptation

Yeah OcUK are fine used them loads of times myself along with a fair amount of others around here as well I'd wager.

OCuk are good, just watch the exchange rates & delivery charges

Yeah i noticed VAT still seemed to be still at the UK 17.5%!!! does it change to our VAT at checkout?

8T8

No I dont believe they do, I've always been charged the price plus UK VAT.

Use XE to calculate the final item+shipping price in Euros

Sometimes they work out cheaper than Komplett and sometimes not but they have a good selection of items which are not so easy to obtain in IE (or Komplett) which is what I generally use them for.

I don't know who you asked, because we don't sell it and I've never been asked to get a price on it. What store did you go into?

jones

it was Peats in Parnell street - it wasnt on display but the guy looked it up and quoted me €570...

Peats are the worst for prices!!
I mean look at this compared to this!

or even this compared to this!

how do they get away with charging those prices?!:eek:

jones

Yeah they are not the cheapest of places but suppose as long as people keep buying there they'll keep charging!!
