Eventually they will go down to £200 unlike your formula 1.

This is nice and small, no mention of power inputs etc presume 1x 6pin ? can you access all 6gb of memory or only 5.5Gb ?

I want to pay about £180 but I'll probably gave as soon as it breaks £200, slowly creeping down and this is the best price I've seen so far.

Yeah same but I want a Formula One car and looking to pay 50p, will wait till prices come down.
Bite the bullet dude, I upgraded from a 680gtx and its an awesome card.

You could wait, but then you'll miss out on weeks of gaming & a free magazine :wink:

Pair it with a 6600K and you'll be playing anything on 1080p 60+fps

are these less powerful than the full size cards and would my i5 3570k still be a good match?

Same power as a larger card but it's only a single-fan model so it might run marginally hotter or louder. I've gone for a dual-fan model but at this price this would be tempting.

The mini cards are the same as the larger ones, just with a single fan. Personally I would prefer a smaller card.
It's a great match for an i5, especially a K version.

Any experts out there know if you should use the supplied drivers disk or would the nvidia/AMD drivers (from online) be ok? Would you potentially lose some of the overclocking which may have been carried out?
It's just that I don't have a CDROM drive connected anymore. Thanks in advance.

I'd never use the drivers that come on the CD they will always be out of date. You'll get better performance direct from nvidia

No you (almost) never want to use the drivers on the DVD.
If you think about, logically the ones on the disc are quite out-of-date by the time the card makes it through the retail supply chain.
