G80, Geforce 8800 GTX in UK for £500+

OVERCLOCKERS might get the biggest batch of G80 cards in the UK. Despite that, the price is going to be super ridiculous. Hold you breath and read it: £500 Sterling. That's some $950.865 US Dollars or €750.

The Geforce 8800 GTS will cost as much as Geforce 7950 GX2 costs now, so around £380 to £400 pounds sterling again - much more expensive then anywhere else in the world.

Despite the super high price where the UK chaps blame 17.5 per cent VAT, the supply will be limited. An informative channel chap told us that the smaller fishes in the UK might not get more than two or three cards and they can sell dozens of them.

We heard that only 200 cards will be available for the whole UK for the launch date and you can bet that there are more than 200 chaps who want to get one, out of the 60 million UK subjects.

Did we forget to mention that OcUK gets half of the batch that Nvidia ships for the UK. That is a nice position to be in.

The bottom line is that the prices for G80, Geforce 8800 GTX and GTS are bonkers. The additional details before they get removed are here. µ
