Nvidia Deals & Offers

This thing is £900 in China, why you are so happy about this unreasonable price.

I bought this laptop last year for £1,350. Within 2 months it developed a host of serious faults - returned it for a refund. I was informed by the retailer that a lot of these had been sent back by customers. You may have noticed that several retailers have reduced the price on this in the last few months. If you desperately want it, I recommend buying it with a long warranty or finding a cheap refurb. Amazing laptop on paper; a car crash waiting to happen in reality.

All gone now. (fierce)

Great price!

I paid £1700 for the 1070 version about 6 months ago and I'm very happy with it. Seems like a good price esspecially with the free bundle

Sold out, but still have the version with Intel GMA gfx for £44 https://itzoo.co.uk/collections/apple/products/apple-mac-mini-2-1-a1176-core-2-duo-os-10-9-5

Thank you for that.

I have never seen a deal for a computer that is 10 years old.

Not recommended due to numerous security vulnerabilities with highest possible OS. El Capitain - 10.11.6 went end of life August 2018. Hardware is also on Apple's worldwide obsolete list.

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.

I got this laptop shortly after it came out, mostly because of the 4gb graphics card. Native gaming was ok, a bit slower than the other 1050 I had and it can't do vr as the graphics output has to go through the onboard. Overpriced for what it is worth imo. Worth it for around the £425-450 but no more really.

Its cheaper here https://www.laptopsdirect.co.uk/medion-erazer-p6689-15.6-inch-intel-core-i5-8250u-8gb-1tb-gtx-1050-4gb-wind-30023993/version.asp Little bit extra and have SSD https://www.laptopsdirect.co.uk/medion-erazer-p6681-core-i5-7200u-8gb-1tb-geforce-gtx-1050-4gb-15.6-inch-wi-30023991/version.asp

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.

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

We can all wish for prices to be nearer to what we would want them to be, but market forces are at work here. You said it yourself: "Nvidia have raised the price bar to rediculous levels and folk keep buying them"

Generally speaking no but if you were set on getting that specific card, then it would still be a lower price than it usually retails for hence it would still be a deal.

The outcome would be the same if someone posted a 2080 Strix here. Can you honestly say its a deal to pay £800 for an RTX 2080? Of course not.

Unfortunately, the design of the 20 series Aorus cards is not appreciated much round here. I posted an Aorus 2070 deal not too long ago that sank like a lead ballon.

Yeah but 5% is 2fps, and games are basically unplayable if less than 144fps.

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.

Sorry! you just get used to the attention seekers on here. All well used Laptops get warm and the longer you use them that gets worse with dust and wear on thermal seals. By using my "magic" button I hope to make this Laptop longer than my last ones. That's why I like it.

What?

You didn't hit the red button..... (y)

It wasn't a dig at you, just the fact the concept is redundant and it sounds very 20th century, imo of course haha. Please don't take offense at the previous comment

Seems this gets hot just doing updates. 6:05 .... Here

Would rather see an i5-8300h paired with a GTX1060 for this kind of money.

1060 money in my book makes this cold.

Depends on your use case, the coffee lake cpu in this is a lot more powerful than previous generations. Also I own a gl702 with i7 1060 for 2 years now and love it

Exactly

Would rather a refurbished asus gl503 with a 1060, an i5 and an rgb keyboard for £800

It’s compatible as in it works but not certified

So is this compatible or certified for use with Nvidia g-sync, can't find confirmation online?

Freesync over hdmi and what range?

For me it's because Acer store.. if it was Amazon, buybuybuybuybuy (popcorn) (party)

This does ticks all the boxes that I'm looking for but not sure why i am not clicking that buy button.. hmmmmm......

True.... but I specifically said Nvidia. For thos already invested in G-Sync monitors they won't want to switch sides. They may also be limited by the power output of their PSU.

Unless you are buying vega 56 which is roughly the same price but faster and comes with 3 games :) .

Yep... The RTX 2070 is a complete rip off. My point is the 1660Ti at £250 is the only current gen Nvidia card worth buying.

I agree, sweet price and still a decent card. £300 for mid-high end gaming range card, overclocked with great cooler, from top manufacturer at launch. rtx 2070 cost twice as much.

My EVGA 970 ssc cost me £305 at launch. Its in my son's PC now. Still a decent card.

Now £1349

Now £1399.97!

Pound for pound, the GL504 is the better choice right now. Not quite as slim as the other two, but better spec and price

I'm torn between the msi gs65 and aero 15, anyone know if this performs similar to the ones I've mentioned ?

Confusing description. Heat added as it's a good deal for a fully fledged GTX 1070 even without any extras
