SAPPHIRE AMD Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition £66.91 @ PC World (instore)
SAPPHIRE AMD Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition
was £109.99, now £66.91 (usually about £85+ online)
Well, walked into PC World tonight to pickup a 1tb Toshiba hhd (which I've grabbed, thanks!). Noticed something else out of the corner of my eye and thought I'd share to give something back to the community.
This was instore (Portsmouth store - 2 left).
Website has them listed for this price, but not available to click and collect.
Good entry level gaming card - already have a 6850 which is similar in performance so wasn't much use to me, but this is a fantastic price and hopefully can help out someone.
2 Year manufacturer warranty
Box contents:
- Quick Installation Guide
- DVI to VGA Adapter
- Mini Displayport to Displayport Adapter
- Power Lead (4 to 6 pin)
- Driver Disk
Suggest you check it's compatible with your machine before purchasing - read the power supply requirements and pin connectors.
Take care

Unfortunately, I don't think the stock checker is very reliable.
I put my store's postcode in the website and it returned nothing - even though 2 were on the shelves in store!

The power requirements for these cards is very low, they likely would run fine on pretty much any power supply, the box 450w requirement is overstated

That's peak power output, and it to be honest the current and efficiency is the most important thing alongside wattage. You get cheap 800w power supplies that can barely run one card and a cpu, and you can get high efficiency, high amp rail 500w psus that can run two.

PCWorld are usually crap for PC components, but this is actually a great deal if you can find one.
And why should PCWorld be banned? Sure alot of their things are bad value, but they also have loads of bargains - many of which I have bought after seeing them posted on here!

These are probably the most efficient gfx cards you can buy considering their power. They don't even need a power connector - they run off the motherboard. iirc, they draw under 70w.
