    No idea but it will go up in price tomorrow by probably about £15-£20.

    Scan have them on pre-order too at same price roughly but with no eta unlike Ocuk's eta tomorrow.

    Hmm weird stuff with Nvida gpu prices. 760 is 195£ and 680 finally droped to 280£ range.

    Old news at this stage but I'll throw it up for anyone who hasn't seen it yet.

    Some pretty aggressive marketing by AMD :)

    Might have something to do with the Splinter Cell: Blacklist freebee.
    Maybe?:o

    Its odd for Nvidia to drop prices as they normally just phase the cards out without much of a drop.:confused:

    I wonder if AMD have them on the back foot with there next release?
    I think some details are due at the end of sept.

    Out of nowhere too. Maybe Nvidia has fastest card in the market, but its a small niche of a market, wheres "bang for your money" is the meat of the market. And that market is AMD bitch now.

    I wonder what will the second hand sales of 680 will be now. Surely they cant expect 300eu for them. I would not mind picking up second 680 cheaply.

    €180 ($240) shipped to Ireland. Get 'em while they're hot.

    That M1 looks unreal! Still think I'd rather the Prodigy though. Picking up the Corsair Carbide Air 540 in the coming week, so still in the bigger is better mentality :P

    :(

    I'm short 6 more, (some 45's, 60's and 30's not sure how many of these yet so will order these when i need them), two xspc waterblocks for ram and some extension fittings to raise the 90 deg fittings in line with each other. When I have all this I will start replacing all the 32 black sparkle compression fittings I have with crystal link :D. I picked up 4 more compression fittings in the order but not as important as the 90's :P. Still another few hundred worth of stuff needed :eek:

    Sorry guys if this isnt off topic but I feel I can get a quick answer here as its not big enough for a new thread. Im having trouble connecting my gfx card (7950) to my psu. Below is my psu and the cables I have:

    2eb7ndt.jpg2v9udrn.jpg21kcmk2.jpg2bw47p.jpg

    Which should I use and where?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,181 ✭✭✭Serephucus


    Those aren't all the cables. You should have some cables for your PSU that end in the same connections as the black ones in the little plastic bags there in the first picture. Those go in your GPU.

    But the little part at the right hardly connects to the psu?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,181 ✭✭✭Serephucus


    No, it looks like the bit at the left does, and the other side is a 6+2-pin PCIE connector (GPU).

    Sorry, just another quicky. I was using dvi and the image took up the whole screen now its only using part after I plugged my hdmi into the gfx card. I check the resolution in control panel and its 1920x1080 which is correct so I don't see the problem.
