That's the same as the SSC one on Ebuyer. I'm guessing SSC stands for Super Clocked Core or something.Quote:

has 216 processor cores ;) (didn't check other one so don't know if price etc is dif)
EVGA cards come with a lifetime warranty and also 3dmark vantage so yeah.. :]
Anyways the gtx 260 core 216 superclocked edition performs almost aswell as the standard gtx 280
I was the one that suggested EVGA ;)
BUT you said ebuyer don't have any with 216 cores, so in my instinct i had to prove you wrong :)
Fine, you win this round.
You also get the stuff with BFG. http://www.bfgtech.com/bfgexclusivebundle.aspx
BFG meant to have crap customer service..
for example one guy sent his card back as it was faulty, was sent a 'replacement' which turned out to be the same card that had been flashed and underclocked to make it stable

Buy the new PSU now and get the gfx card for xmas? :P makes more sense.
Well the gfx card is for xmas.. and i'm buying the PSU with money i get from xmas
Then you won't have the gfx card till xmas?
I'd get PSU for xmas then you get it instantly on xmas can put it in then get the gfx card later, instead of getting the gfx card then waiting a few days for the PSU to arrive :P
I'm getting the gfx card now as prices are going to jump in the near future due to the punds ****** pefromance against the dollar and euro
Won't go down much lower.
I might go for the xfx gtx 260 black edition.. still 216 processor cores but it is the fastest clocked one out... plus it is one hell of a sexy beast

Just get the cheapest one you can find and overclock it yourself? Would save £30. But, if money is not an issue you should go for it.
Last time i overclocked a card a killed it so yeah :l
Hmm i see. That could be a little daunting. I think you should go with the XFX card then. You get a sweet Do not Disturb door hanger if you go with that company :)
And a free copy of far cry 2 i think
Hmm, not sure about XFX. I know BFG and EVGA both do atm. I'll have a look
Yeah they do, i just looked at that review again.
Sweet. Although, i dont think you get it with the card in the box.. I think you have to order for it which will take a few weeks. Thats what BFG do anyway (when I got my GTX260)
I have far cry 2 on the PS3 so it's no biggy but it'd be nice to see what the game looks like without the brown tinge associated with consoles
You have to register the card before you get farcry2/vantage 3dmark
For XFX it comes with the card I believe. Friend of mine got Assasin's Creed with his 9800GT.
Oh right, that's good thenQuote:

I got that one ^^
Is it any good?
Well, it works so thats an advantage, Corsair is great brand so :P
Corsair is a decent PSU brand.
As are OCZ ;)
It came today :] You would not believe the size of the box it came in lol. BT must've treated it as if it was the holy grail
This is what came in the box. (i opened it for the copy of far cry 2 lol)

Go Home. :(
he is home :P
My friend just got his 9800GT today and got Far Cry 2 with it aswell. I was going to get that exact card until I decided on my lovely Sapphire 4870 :)Quote:
