Been looking for a GTX 1070 for a few days, I noticed this has just dropped on Amazon... Went low enough for me to bite at this price.
I know it is still a bit expensive for a GPU, but this card will future proof you for 1080p/1440p gaming for several years to come!

Nice card, but going to wait to upgrade - until I have anything better than 1080p
personal experience would shy me away from MSI but others have had ok experiences
thanks for the tip op

Is the experience by any chance customer service/after sale/rma? l`m having a nightmare returning a faulty item to MSI at the moment, short of asking for my blood type, they are throwing obstacle and ridiculous question already answered to discourage the return, so disillusion with the after service l`m thinking of selling my msi branded gpu, and getting another brand, that after sale service don`t blows.

typical - I took the plunge yesterday on this at £379.99
I assume Amazon will refund the difference - any hints on the simplest way to request that? I couldn't see anything obvious on the website
edit - I found it. going through the help section, contact us. It lets you select an order and then they call you. If you go direct to teh order, there's no option to contact them. Anyway, sorted within 5 mins as an "exception" as it had only just been delivered. Can't complain.
Anyway - hot from me obviously as I'd given in and paid at a slightly higher price!

Hi gw42
Last time this happened to me I was told by Amazon they have changed their policies and I would have to return the order and reorder at the lower price... ideal!
They are not what they once were.
Well done m8. Obviously I got the wrong person when I had same issue as you.
Nice to see. Well done Amazon.

Had it before, if you try again in an hour, you normally get a different result :smiley:

The chap I spoke to did emphasise that he could put through the refund because it had been delivered only 30 minutes ago. Maybe if I'd have called tomorrow (and the same person) it would've been a different result.

Great card, but it's too big to fit in my Dell XPS 8700. Need one that's about the size of the Zotac 970 and it looks like the Gigabyte Mini is the only one.

You could always buy a new case and rebuild :wink:
