Good price , but I still think the current gen of gpus need a price reduction as the 970 has been around £250 for about a year now proving there is a stagnant market . Hopefully they will release something new , or amd release something better. Either way these cards need to price cuts imo

I keep reading the odd post on here, that a reduction is coming soon in the USA, but is wondering when it will hit Europe. And the UK, need it to happen fast

Great cards and heapest price around but I agree they should be cheaper by now.

Will my AMD Athlon x4 760k bottleneck this card?

I returned my 970 the week after I got it - 4GB MY ****! 3.5 GB usable the other 512mb is that crap it lags.

At £18 less than it was 8 months ago, and for a pathetic card - this is FREEZING

The GTX 1000 series are still slated for mid-next year so guess nvidia are keeping up the prices of their current cards for a little while yet. Would be nice if they bumped up the memory on the 900 series though - 6 to 8GB of GDDR memory is rapidly approaching the norm for AMD cards.

And what did you replace it with that was so much better? Because at the time it will have been a 290x (which is about the same but runs hotter and louder) or a 980 (which is approximately 10% better for an extra 200 quid, and rewards nVidia for their misdeeds).

Now don't get me wrong, I'm not defending nVidia's actions on the memory, but the number of people who act like the discovery of this issue months after release, which most people can still only replicate using third party software, somehow invalidated all the benchmarks up until that point.

There are plenty of reasons to be upset about the memory, and some people will have had good reasons to return their cards. But, seriously? It's a 'pathetic' card?

nVidia may have been pathetic, but the card is still knocking them out of the park. If it wasn't, you can bet your butt the prices would have dropped.

EDIT: April? You bought the card in April, 3 months after the 3.5gb controversy blew over? And then returned it when... what? It behaved exactly the same as in all the benchmarks?

Nearly at the right price. With and 390 4Gb on the horizon that will be much better suited to the next wave of dx12 titles and VR (AMD GPUs are preferred by oculus rift due to having ASYNC compute). The 390 4GB will be around £220 and by far the best option around unless these 970s drop further in price, around £200
