EXPIRED - XFX GeForce 9600GT SLI 512MB GDDR3 GPU [£57.49 del @ Novatech]


£57.49

430°

FOUND BY: mamboboy 6 months, 2 weeks ago

Scorching! Cheapest price on the net by a good £25 at least. £98 or so on Ebuyer! I'd even go as far as to say this could be a possible mis-price, as their 'budget' 9600GT is £20 more, and this is XFX...one of the better manufacturers.
Free economy del, or you can also collect if you live nearby Portsmouth, Reading, Cardiff or Bristol.

Don't forget your 3% QUIDCO!

I personally have this card and it's been great considering I spent £250-300 on the whole system. Ran Crysis on high just fine :)


Chipset nVidia Geforce 9600GT
Video Memory Installed 512MB DDR3
Core Clock Speed 650MHz
Memory Clock Speed 1800MHz
Shader Clock 1625MHz

Nice find/price... but personally would rather have an ATI HD4670 for around the same price and has HDMI and 2008Mhz memory clock speed and 750Mhz core clock speed. Added heat though as nvidia people would prefer this

Now if this was a 9800GT novatech would have a sale, or infact if it was an 8800GT.

But its neither.

Have a look at this page, I'd agree with the above comments and say 'YES!'

Pay the few quid extra and get a 4770 to be honest, much faster.

£20 more for the 4770:

It's also nowhere near the price of a 9800GT or 8800GT.

Sigh. Don't you just hate this?

People who come into a deal, and whinge, because it's not something else... Kind of brainless, really...

I'm not going to go into a deal for a £5 kettle and moan because it's not a microwave.

I agree they shouldent limit the options of people and forcing people to use their chipsets etc but at the same time it is a GOOD DEAL which is what this website is about so it should still be hot yeah? :-)

It's a much more powerful card - closer to the old 8800GT

BUT

If the rest of your system is poor you won't actually get that much of a boost from it ofc. - an old system with a new GPU isn't going to set anyone's hair on fire, so to speak.

But then for £20 more then the 4770... etc and so on, this could go on forever - for the card it is its hot we shouldent really compare to cards outside the price bractet, for this price there is not much that could touch it and i dont like nvidia
