Nvidia Deals & Offers

You missed nothing. The only good deal i found was a GTX 1050/ 7300HQ Acer Aspire 7 for £499. There hasn't been any deals on anything higher spec than a 1050 really.

Lenovo ideapad 330S is better value but doesn’t have extra hard drive

Weak for refurb at this point

You didn't miss much at black Friday tbh.

Looking for a laptop this price bracket but can’t seem to find one missed the Black Friday deals and just dunno where to start looking thought this might of been worth it. At this price I keep finding 2gb dedicated graphic cards

What other platform can I play in 4K at 120hz with HDR and a variable refrsh rate?

4k gaming on PC why?

Maybe everyone's just having a bad day!

This really should be piping hot at that price. I got the Gigabyte Windforce 2080Ti for £1100 when they came out and there's simply no other GPU like it for 4K gaming.

Looks fantastic I just saw it. The last outing (1080ti) the Aorus was hideous lol

Playstore is already there, but its a nvidia curated version. Side load Aptoide and you can get most stuff but a lot of Apk's can be obtained from their official sites and just side load them on. Google Music is already on the shield from start up. I cannot think of anything app wise that I am missing out on.

How easy is it to add Playstore, and google play music, app. If at all possible Thank you.

Thks, I've seen mixed reviews on Nordvpn, was also considering Express VPN and IP Vanish. These are more expensive thou.

I used to use PIA, but had occasional issues with speed, recently switched to NordVPN and have had a much better service so far.

Could you tell me which VPN you use, thks in advance

I don't know for definite about PS1 but as far as I know there's no stable PS2 emulator widely available, so doubt it will be available for this device. But you can sideload a PSP emulator on most android/similar devices - which works pretty well.

Can you get IPTV in 4k ? Never tried IPTV . But Netflix and Amazon works fine in 4k .

Are you able to get IPTV on this?

Same price on ebay if u have any discounts

Does this run any ps1, ps2 emulators etc?

I got a grade C, these things are built to last. Around £90 and CEX provide a 2 year warranty.

If you wrote it down in the first place it wouldn't be a issue :) and yes my mum does my ironing lol ....happy

Me too. Just looked it up for the lazy people on here

So £135 second hand or £159 new (£161 if you get the £10 steam card deal) Extra £25 id take new and warranty.

Had a look £135 grade A for 1st gen

Yes the Shield TV has multiple different ways of playing retro games, it's possibly the best Android device out there for retro gaming. I suggest you check out retro gaming on the shield on YouTube to see just what it can do. You can connect PS4/Xbox One controllers to it. I have a Shield 1st gen and Nvidia just keep on supporting it. It's the same chipset/hardware as the 2nd gen, so no reason not to support the 2nd gen only over the 1st gen. The fact that Nvidia are still selling this hopefully means that they will keep supporting it with updates because if you bought one now and they didn't you'd be annoyed.

You can connect PS4 and Xbox One Controllers to the Shield and use them to navigate and mouse cursor control. There's also an official Nvidia Shield TV app which makes your phone work as a remote and you can swap between button input navigation or trackpad/mouse. Using Geforce Now to sign in to Steam and be able to play some of your Steam catalogue without needing a PC is awesome.

Bought! (lol)

Yes, I also use Shield as client in my bedroom on a non-smart TV

Interesting. Do you use the Shield as both server and client? I have setup a HP Microserver as a NAS and was planning on using that as the Plex server and the Shield as the client. Just curious really.

HEAT Blower style fans are the best bet for small ITX cases as the hot air is not circulated inside the case. Just don't get why all blower cards look so ugly except for the old Founders Edition

You're doing something wrong then, mine never sounded bad at all?

They sound like a lawnmower

For those who don't like blower cards the EVGA GeForce RTX 2080 BLACK EDITION GAMING 8GB GDDR6 is the same price @ scan with BFV

I had a 980 blower card for years & never gave me any issues, I honestly don't see why people are so against them?

It can do 80 fps, the 2080Ti that is.

I'd get a 2080 Ti myself, in fact I did :)

Did you click the link it's listed under free items

I would say mediocre, cheapest one around for now. I had bad experience with EVGA warranty too so not sure. I never recommend EVGA to people. Like Razer. Great American companies, great customer services in the States but bad for EU customers. Depends on your wallet, you could pay another £40 and get the Zotac, MSI or Gigabyte. Seems that prices are going up rather than down for the better cards. Also where does it say you get Battlefield 5? I can't see that on any of the cards posted here, especially on Amazon.

So... is this a good deal or not?

It was one day offer Expired now

Bought this today, comes tommorrow. Was looking for a decent mid ranger and this seems to be it. If you sell the codes and extras it comes with could probably bring it down to £1100, maybe even less.

How does this compare to the msi with similar specs? https://www.box.co.uk/9S7-17C522-062-MSI-GP73-Leopard-8RE-062UK_2322970.html

Have updated post now. Sorry, forgot to add at the beginning (lol)

It didn't when I posted

so basically you might aswell buy a longer hdmi lead lol

Does anyone know how to get Alexa to switch this on? Can’t find the skill on the Alexa app

Just got another software update today! Shows how much Nvidia is committed to support the device. Being that there's no competitor in the market and the device still packs a performance punch it only makes sense to keep giving it software updates instead of bringing out nee hardware.

Nope, £149 with £10 voucher during the black friday sale, which has ended so this is the new best deal.

Bought one during the black friday sale for £150, absolutly love it!!!! Play games in your steam library (if compatible) without a PC and online gaming is pretty good. Easy to sideload APKs and runs really well. Recommend that you but a 126GB thumb drive too to upgrade from 16GB.

Paid £139.99 for mine on black friday with prime now discount

Awesome box, add a usb hard drive and download the plex app, amazing!

Got it.

£30 off is from Nvidia as per OP's description making it £160 give or take with remote and controller everywhere now. At Curry's PC world you also get £10 steam card though.

Managed to get this for £148 on BF :)

Bought this card recently and pleased with it. Don't forget there is a $20 steam voucher which can be claimed from MSI, converted to 15 pounds something on Steam. Claimed mine recently so know it works!! :D

It's closer than a lot of people think, the 570 performs like a RX 480 which did reasonably well at competing with the 1060. Also with the 570, there's a lot of room to tweak for extra performance. The VRAM is only running at 7Gbps and should OC to 8Gbps at least, some lucky ones will get to 9Gbps. The core can also be potentially overclocked to 1400MHz+ from the ~1300MHz stock. If you can do all of that, you'll end almost approaching RX 580 performance which is on par or slightly better than a 1060. And you'll be paying much less, especially considering you could sell the two games bundled with the 570 if they're not to your liking. Also don't forget you can use freesync with AMD cards which is a major advantage.

For the extra £40-£50 you are getting a fairly chunky return on benchmark figures: https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GTX-1060-6GB-vs-AMD-RX-570/3639vs3924 I'm moving from an ageing but still resilient GTX 960 (Strix 2Gb) so just about any upgrade will see an improvement. Might hold out for the 1060 though. As I say, I think all these things are going to drop - probably post Christmas. Not that I am saying getting a 570 now (or the 1060 OP posted) would be a bad deal. Edit: just had a look at OC.co.uk and they've got a 580 for £170... https://www.overclockers.co.uk/powercolor-radeon-rx-580-red-dragon-v2-8192mb-gddr5-pci-express-graphics-card-gx-18l-pc.html Can't comment on whether the "Red Dragon" sub brand is any decent though...

My brother has this card in his PC, it's annoying because you can't turn the fan speed down past 50% and they will always run no matter what, causing unnecessary wear when the GPU is idling. In terms of value for 1080p gaming, it can't get better than a 570 which are currently going for £150. You even get two games free with those.

Don't forget the added value of the "nVidia Fortnite Bundle" .. (annoyed) .. Seriously though, while the price is the same(ish) as the PC World deal (now dead) this card is not as good as the one they were offering. Clearly a 6Gb 1060 is nothing to be sneezed at (even in this weather) but I think there are some decent price drops coming in soon as both AMD and nVidia realise the crypto boom is well and truly over and they've been left with a backlog of mid-high end cards nobody was buying because of the price. Not knocking OP's posting of the deal, not at all, I just have a hunch there is more value to be had in this market soon. Just hunch, mind...

Only thing putting me off is the g sync monitor prices, got an rx480 and freesync monitor atm. Is screen tearing a problem if say I got this and a 1440p monitor without g sync

Got this card and coupled with at least a 6th gen quad it's 60fps on ultra all day every day for most stuff. Never gets above 65c and is as quiet as a mouse's 21st birthday party. great card.

Machine Learning I would guess.

There's 35,000 unsold 1070s on ebay so the price will come down

ML?

Well I just thought your comment might make people actually think they're cheaply made, they're not. Having said that I wouldn't pay this much for a 1060 version.

Yeah you might be, the Alienware laptops are top notch though.

Why so much for a Dell?...

In the US, you can get the R5 17" 1070 version of this for this price https://www.bestbuy.com/site/alienware-17-3-laptop-intel-core-i7-16gb-memory-nvidia-geforce-gtx-1070-256gb-solid-state-drive-1tb-hard-drive-black/6228319.p?skuId=6228319 Unfortunately if you buy a Dell or Alienware from a store in the US, the warranty doesn't apply outside the US. You only get the "premium" warranty from buying from the Dell website.

Seems it's an extra £200 (shock) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07G4TZPRJ

If you don't game that much, I personally feel you should have gone for a 1440p screen and a 1060 gpu. Having gone for the 4k monitor, if you want to play with good graphics I would be tempted to go for the Ti. Depends on if money is a real issue or not!

Opinions on whether this is worth the extra dollar over the 1070? It's a year and a half newer. For reference I have a 4k display, don't game that much, and probably won't upgrade for another 4 years. Thoughts?

Tough one. This or the non-Ti from Ebuyer for £299. I heard this card suffers from coil whine. Is that a problem with the non-Ti too? If not, I might just save myself the 55 quid

Voted hot. Got the EVGA 1070 NON-TI during Black Friday "week" for £299.99 - if the performance difference is worth the extra cash then good deal I say. Mini version too if space is tight. Edit: And an extra game too. The EVGA only had Monster Hunter.

I know it's scam.com but even I had to vote hot

Really? I wanted to build a Ryzen 5 2600x / Vega 64 with a 550w Corsair gold. 750w it's a lot, how much power it drains? Should I go for Nvidia?

Bought it on Black Friday. Excellent GPU after undervaulting, Overkill for FPS games perfect for 1440p Ultra setting games. Had no issues so far no loud fan noise. But its power hungry it requires 750w PSU. Read if you are running cheaper lower power PSU VEGA64 might whine and underpreform.

Good luck. I wish I bought one when they were £600 on ebuyer or over clockers.

I picked one up yesterday for 440.. I shall get it in few days. It is used with no warranty but cannot justify spending 600 for a new one. Done PayPal credit deal so wife won't find out lol

I'm doing the same on eBay but I just can't risk buying second-hand I never have any luck with that.

I personally think it's useful to flag supported games for Shield owners, of which I imagine there are many now after the massive drop in price. I don't have a PC but I play games via Steam on my Shield, and they only support a handful of games (like this one). You can play any Steam game through GeForce on the Shield of course, but unless the game is supported by NVidia, it won't save your progress. Perhaps you don't need the keyword alert now, if you've already got a Shield. The only other alerts I can think of are price drops for the box, and their game sales (which you're notified by email anyway and they're not that regular anymore since supporting Steam). As for this game, it's really good. I play co-op with my little boy.

Nvidia shield is simply amazing. Can play a handful of AAA titles from my steam collection without needing to install on a pc. It's all streamed from Nvidia servers.

Not many people are aware of how the gaming works on the shield... As per loads of questions

I keep getting keyword alerts for Nvidia shield. This is a Steam deal. As all Steam games can be accessed through Nvidia shield (With pc)do we need to keyword spam?
