I want to say thanks man, it made me hold on to my wallet. The impulsive side of me was reigned in.

I run a 550 with this

980ti is £460 but can't justify for my needs

Well that's tells you it was nt a deal just miss price I wonder if any of the orders will go through. anyone here has a better result?

I placed an order with them yesterday and it was cancelled last night. Reason: Carrier Can't Ship. Money has been taken from my account though! Went back on to reorder today and it was relisted +£100. Got in contact with the TheCablePlace, nothing back, got in contact with Rakuten who essentially told me to contact TheCablePlace and to come back in 3 days if things aren't settled.

Order cancelled due to System Trouble.... refunded shortly

Watch out guys. The price has magically went up by £100.

guys go elite on flubit its 14days fre trail and than use this url instant price £209.43 and better retailers when choosing between these but £209.43 is amazing price

What could power a dual 4k setup?

Oh no, mine is a Sapphire trixx as well. Just checked my o/c again - I lied. I'm at 1130/1700. That's with +38 core voltage and maxed out power tho. When stressed only hits 73 degrees

Thanks to those who warned about this seller.. Looks like there will be shenanigans ahead :disappointed:

Maaan. If I buy this I will have to buy a new PSU!

Can someone justify the spend? I am happily playing CS GO and Fallout 4 with my R9 380. I guess it is an upgrade for the Oculus.

Same here, they are the worst company/bedroom seller on the internet. Seriously guys, even if it means spending a few quid more then get this card from somewhere else.

TheCablePlace are an absolute nightmare to deal with and I will put my car on it that you will not receive this item quickly and you will have to chase it up......and chase it up.....and chase it up, then threaten a charge back, etc.

Just check their latest feedback on Rakuten, there is a reason why most of the recent feedback are 1 star! Ignore the 4.5/5 overall or whatever that is, just read the recent feedback and you will understand who you are about to deal with!

how much better is this than my current 2gb Gigabyte AMD Radeon HD 7870?
sorry im bad with computers

I have this card. Its decent. although there are better 390's out there.

I do NOT like or trust Rakuten or this seller, thecableplace. I bought something from them and it stopped working after less than a month and they refused to replace it saying I had to go direct to the manufacturer. Then the manufacturer said take it up with the seller. So after a runaround I had to put in a complaint with Rakuten who did nothing but lie for 2 months that they were 'looking into it'. Worst customer service I've ever encountered from all involved.

Not sure what to say about the cable place. Whoever 'runs' it also runs one or two other market place 'businesses' on Rakuten. I ordered 2 separate things in late October, one from the cable place and the other from another which I can't remember. Both products 'despatched' quickly. Neither arrived. Follow up emails were answered quite quick and both were promised to be re-sent. Both eventually did arrive well after they should have....both with Cable Place stamped parcels.

I left negative feedback due to the large delay in receiving my items and was then hounded by email at least twice a week for 2 month asking me to change my rating. Even offered to send me a free gift if I changed rating.

I declined, mainly because I knew I wouldn't receive it anyway!!


Not going to say avoid as I did get both purchases (which were cheaper than everywhere else), but I will say don't expect a smooth ride

I've had good experience with MSI/Sapphire/ASUS and pretty bad EVGA experience.

Your miles may vary.

this is a good card. I have it with a 4690k using fractal r4 case, overclocked to 1180/1600 and it maxes out every game ive played- black ops 3 Gta 5, MGS. That's stable 60fps at 1440p too. Beast for the cash but new gen coming VERY soon so... tough call to buy now or wait.

That is more than enough for this card.

You're making me having an even bigger dilemma now :disappointed: I've got a 620 Watt Coolermaster PSU)

deal is hot but the seller is freezing cold read reviews before buy anything from this retailer
heat added for the deal

All there asus stuff is cheap , seems dodgy for me , they have 380xs for 150, 950s for 100 notes also, 960 for 130.

Even though this is my deal I would personally never say ASUS is a good OEM. Their warranty and RMA issues make them a poorer choice than say MSI/Sapphire/EVGA

If you trust this seller, they offer the 970 at an amazing price as well -- 215.

At 1080p, the 970 is generally the superior card. At 2k the 390 is generally above the 970.

At 4k, don't buy either of these cards.

If your CPU isn't at least an i5 2500, then do not buy the 390 as you will be bottlenecked in dirextx 11 games.

Other than those considerations, it's a good card from a good oem... From a fairly bad distributor.

unfortunately, looking at this seller's rating it's abysmal
I steered clear of them when looking at the descriptions for some of their motherboards which were completely different than model number or photo
good luck to those who buy
R9 390 should be good enough for anything right now.

Was hoping it would qualify for Hitman, I don't really want to support them, but this would ease my conscience a little

would be really sweet , if Rakuten , dropped a 5 x points day for buyers !!

Very good price. Amazing value this card

Would this get the far cry primal key? Looks to meet the criteria andlooks to need nothing special from the retailer

Far Cry Asus offer

Yes, because I realised my mistake.

The card you posted is the R9 380, not the R9 390.

EDIT: And now you've deleted your comment.

good price tbh, it was around that before crimbo with sales etc, theyve really not dropped much this gen, particularly the gtx 's

Good card not bad price, :laughing:
