Link is dead for me. Any particular questions? There's a whole review section filled with 770 reviews.
 
Link is dead for me also.
 
The Phantom is a sexy card. I'd get that one.
 
Phantom it is. I have used AMD for a good few years my last nvidia cards were two 8800gt. Will there be any probs with my system.
 
No, why should there be a problem?

totaly supported (even if i dont like Nvidia that much) i had a 570 phantom in the past they are totaly awesome!
 
Is my power supply good enough.
 
it should be (single card?) because i run a 7950 oc on a 600w mono 12v rail si i guess a 750 should support a 770 (maybe two)
 
you can run 770 SLI easy on that PSU,probably even 3 of em,one will be a breeze.
 
just remember to do a proper driver sweep and registry clean.

maybe reinstall/update physx features.

ive got my eye on that asus 780, they do seem to look pretty awesome!

This.
Driver sweep, dont leave any moronic drivers from anyone laying around. Clear them off before you drop the card in (Gainward's are super sexy overclocking cards, I had a Golden Sample and a GLH 570 and they couldnt be beaten in overclocks in my entire LAN party troop).
 
sorry I am having an AMD moment should I go for the 7970 GHz, it's strange when you get used to something it takes a lot to change.
 
tbh.... with the AMD 8*** series dawning and nvidias 7**.

wrong time to buy a 7970 unless its dirt cheap.
 
decisions decisions it's doing my nut in, the 770 is going to be a step up from the 6970 I have.
 
that 770 you posted looks sweet.

weigh up all your options, how long you want the card, resolution, possible upgrages later on, prices/performance, games etc etc.

then look at the reviews.

Nice card. But I dont shop from places I dont trust. And that place I dont trust.
Look up CCL Online, OCUK, Ebuyer, Pixmania, DABS, Novatech, Aria, Scan, Amazon, BTShop. They're actual trustworthy companies to buy from.

I agree. I wouldn't buy from there.

AT OP: stick to well known web stores, as RCoon said.
 
I agree but it looked so good and it was £100+ cheaper.
 
ive never trusted WAE for anything.

^^^ are the best!

maybe email some of them asking if they can get it or would drop said price.
 
The reason I was looking for a 4gb card is my mate said he read somewhere that the next generation of games would break the 2gb, is there any truth in this and if so what timeline are we looking at.
