GeForce Deals & Offers

ebuyer and their endless 'ex-display' items, how do they get away with it as an online merchant with no retail sites

Sorry but cold, this was new at Amazon recently for £544 with 3 game codes and a normal warranty.

£500-550 I'll buy but £600+ for a budget model... GPU prices are crazy!

Yep. Questionable warranty given it's only ex display.

Its only 90 days warranty for it at least description says so. No RTX bundle code as its probably a customer return. I'm sorry, but thats not a good deal in my opinion. Not for £605 with known GDDR6 problems

Very nice, post it :)

there is as ASUS GEFORCE RTX 2060 PHOENIX 6144MB for 289.99 overclockers.so.uk *expired

i have the evga 2060 single fan. it never goes beyond 60c on the auto fan setting, whisper quiet too. the heatsink is fat!, thing takes up 3 pci case slots.

same here ranging from 72-80c max under load, though on ultra settings (project cars 2, tomb raider series, fortnite), and on ultrawide monitor. my fps is lower than in most 2060 benchmarks due to the ultrawide + 16.9 split screen setup i have. bought from amazon for £299 5/7 ago, think its a good deal but do wonder if a good 1660 ti would have been a good choice (and saving), this thing is unlikely to run dlss/ray tracing at any particularly good fps/high res. vega 56 sapphire pulse offers were equally compelling, but i had to buy from amazon after my zotac mini 6gb 1060 developed a fault, the 2060 is relatively quiet i feel and no different from my prev 2060 (credit issued), all in all not a bad choice by any means

I bought this at the same price about a month ago. Its pretty loud despite my efforts to increase cooling I cannot get it lower than 68 degrees under load.

So they are resorting to giving away these mining mobos now!

Isn’t the 1660 13% faster, for the same or less!? ...ah, mining board included...still, not sure of the value. Not much mining to be done with a 1060.

What does that mean, just lots of PCIe-1x slots or are there other differences?

Done, hope it gets warmer :)

Should probably add to the title that it's a mining mobo.

You can sell the fortshite codes for about £20 too.

For a 15-20% performance increase it is worth the extra couple of quid for a 1660 model but this is a good price for this card although I'd expect the price of these cards to fall reasonably quickly within the next one or two months to clear the massive stockpiles of the 1060 GPUs.

the cooler is bad on these, not that noisy really but even on max speed won't be able to keep the card unthrottled, i had to replace it with aftermarket .The evga superclocked cooler is much better. Agree, <£150 could be considered, after 2 years this is far too close to rrp.

For £15 more from SCAN you can get a GTX 1660 so it’s not worth buying a 3 year old card such as this. These need to be £150 or less before they should be considered in 2019.

Edit: My apologies, it seems that they do indeed (but you need to search for 1660 and ti as two separate terms) https://www.aria.co.uk/Products?search=1660+ti&x=0&y=0

Aria sell them for £240

Better off using code PLAY15 and buy a new one on ebay from CCL with 15% discount.

For £8 more id rather have the dual fan version. https://www.novatech.co.uk/products/gigabyte-geforce-gtx-1660ti-oc-6gb-graphics-card/gv-n166toc-6gd.html

2600k since release (highfive)

As I said in another thread, I'd highly suggest the Zotac version of this card that has 3-4 heatpipes and an actual fin stack. The gigabyte version comes with a single copper heatpipe and is inferior quality. You can get a 1070 for less than £200 on the used market and that comes with 2GB extra VRAM and is a 3 year old card. Granted this comes with upsides such as being brand new, using less power and comes with warranty. The 1660 is a slow and steady advancement of price/perf, but it's not exactly revolutionary. It's a 2019 low-mid range card matching a 2016 high-mid range card. Some would be disappointed the industry has moved so little in that time frame.

coolio

and there's more, i'm still on my original win7 install too, only changes have been 3 gfx cards that couldnt last the pace

It comes near the 1070 founders edition in a few benches, but hardly a match, and that’s not even an AIO card.

Link?

is this the cheapest geforce card that can be used in SLI mode? Will it be worth upgrading with another one in the future I wonder?

Included "exclusive" Fortnite bundle

Depends on how long you want the card. I struggle to get most of my library above 3GB VRAM at 1440p. The most demanding game I can find is the Resi 2 remake and even at ultra it's running at 3GB VRAM.. If I turn shading to maximum it can reach all the way up to 18GB Vram which no GPU can handle currently anyway. Considering most gamers are still getting away with 4GB VRAM which has been around for the last 6-7 years, I don't think 6GB is going to be a problem. The GPU market isn't evolving that fast and we're still yet to see what the new 7nm architechture will even bring.

If you want the hassle of selling the games then surely you'd be better with a Sapphire RX590 8GB at £219, selling the three game deal for £45/50 (easiest method + typical going rate for AMD deal if doing it as a bundle*) and getting a comparable card, albeit using 30-50% more power, for £170/180. Plus you can get a nice little OC out of this card without much issue. * Selling the games individually is a lot more effort now as you have to link Steam accounts to the reward site. Edit - AMD owner here (highfive)

No, only 15% performance increase for 33% cost increase, for £150 rx 580 4gb is still best bang for buck not to mention the free games. If you can get £50 for the games then the rx580 is half the price 15% less performance

Thanks, didn't know that. I honestly find that so strange of a decision to make

In a statement they said it was to show it was closer to the 2060 then the 1060 as it uses Turing architecture

How come they called this 1660 as opposed to 1160?

No

Wondering if this is worth swapping for my 1060 6gb.

First comment as well how the hell did I miss that (lol)

Thanks for the heads up. I've posted in there.

@moh223 Don't know if you're still looking for a card but as you've probably seen Ebay currently have a 15% offer going, this one popped up in my notifications seems like a good time to buy (y) https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/msi-geforce-rtx-2060-6gb-ventus-boost-graphics-card-28999-at-ccl-with-ebay-code-3200576?pprmrkntfctnsrd=198751713&UATypeId=11

Any experience with buying from Aria PC?!? (p.s. I don’t get it how can Nvidia be so brutal on the GPU market and AMD compete with them? :/ These 1660ti-s at this price are crazy deals I think...

But the 1660 ti can overclock too :p

Well their best single core performing cpu doesn't beat intels best single core one but close

That's what everyone said about their CPUs before Ryzen.

AMD have never really been that good for the high end segment, sure the mid is where they succeed mind

Looks like 1660 is 20% faster than a 1060 and is available for £200+ That makes this deal quite poor. Id only buy a 1060 if you can get one for £160 or lower

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/pc-components/graphics-cards/nvidia?sPage=1&sSort=1 Bear in mind I'm saying 1660, not 1660ti.

In fact 1660 reviews are out now. They seem to start from £210. Edit: Overclockers have them from £199.99. Making this deal kinda redundant IMO.

Does anyone know if this card actually stops the fans when not needed, like many GTX cards do? (i.e. when not gaming).

About 50% faster.

Also CeX can do me a favor.(not going to say what) I bought laptop memory from them, which didn't work, took it back later, they said they have to test it but don't have the machine to do so (what?? it's literally an electronics store) I've waited hours so they said ok we give you a voucher of the CURRENT value of the memory and not what I paid for it before. This is their so called 24 months warranty procedure.

Really? I paid £115 for this card 2 years ago.

Although the RX570 needs power supply connectors.

For about £140 you can get a new RX570 with two free games and it’s slightly faster than this, New with warranty and saves you having to go into a shop that smells of teenage boys with slipknot playing at 400db volume. ;)

Who is selling a 1060 3GB for £135 new?

I laugh when I walk into their shops and look at the tech prices. Just not sure who buys this stuff at similar to new prices. It's probably the finance packages that might attract people wih limited funds.

Tbh, cEx is only ok for exchanging things and i mean getting vouchers and then using them in store. They sell ridiculously expensive. Their testing staff is so poor they end up selling fake graphics card with flashed bios...

The problem with this deal is you can get a new card with equivalent performance and 2 games, and a warranty for less. 3gb 1060s were always poor value and the amd rx cards only highlight that more. Cold.

It's not actually reference. They just use that picture but it can be any brand model you get. If you don't like the one received you can return it free of charge within 2 days.
