Where Is Cheapest Place To Buy GTX 970 In UK?

RickyRozay · Oct 12, 2014

Hi guys,

When this card initially came out I could swear the prices were lower. Now it seems like they've been boosted up a few notches. A quick search on amazon etc reveals prices way beyond my expectations.

Does anybody know the cheapest place to get one of these?

Thanks

Oh and while I'm at it, I've had enough of gaming on a 1280x1024 4:3 monitor after 7 years which frankly is now burning my eyes out.

Can anybody recommend a good 144Hz monitor which is also cheap?

Wait a few months when stock is better and revision boards come in

Prices haven't changed. My MSI cards still cost £289 a peice. On OCuK you can pre-order a inno3d 970 for £260 which is a crazy price if youre willing to put up with a lesser AIB partner

Is this one good?

Combined with this?

Amazon link doesnt work - just give us a made and model number. as for Zotac - There are quite a few people here who have had a nightmare dealing with them when it comes to RMAs

If you read some user reviews on newegg you can see its a bit 'middle of the road' - you literally get what you pay for.

i had a zotac card for a bit used it for benching and the odd game. vrms and memory weren't cooled and had a very cheap feel.

if buying new always buy the best your money can, but also dont waste money.

also use http://uk.hardware.info/ or something like that for price comparisons of online retailers.

It should be OK as its a reference card but honest to god its worth saving up another £20-30 to get an MSI card or a card with a good custom cooled solution
