lol, dick

So you're saying that this graphics card, on it's own, is better than a PS4 Pro?... Just going to ignore the cost of a PSU, Motherboard, processor, SSD/HDD, RAM, case, etc?...

Release the geese!

Hot as furk

I suggest ringing them up.

Anyone help me? I can't find out which stores these are stocked in, the link doesn't take me anywhere and when I searched for it, no result. Truro, Cornwall is where I'd be getting it from.

Pretty sure most console games are cheap as chips within weeks of launch....with maybe the exception of gta5. I've certainly never paid £30 for the latest releases and have a huge back catalogue so any games I want are even cheaper by the time I'm ready for them.

did you use a product number

barely any cards of any kind in Yeovil sadly

There was one there and I double checked at the counter just in case

erm... the post that i replied to .. not that you replied to...

#genius?

Guys, if you see the regular price for this particular GPU, ask someone in store to check it for you in the system. This is how I got mine, even though the display price was regular.

Erm I did





16 miles, might as well be darkest Peru that is such an intrepid voyage :smirk:

Cheers man, saved me the hassle. Even if it is a bad result!

I weren't ever going to get up to some 500gig PS3's that was going for bullys in an Asda up in somewhere like Sheepville or Timex town a few months ago but nobody seemed that petty to vote cold on the deal because of it.

Half the deals on this site would go arctic if everyone went with your rather bitter and jealous judging criteria, how sad are you :confused:

Sorry 60 quid not a bully but it was Timex town(Dundee)

Bought last one at Brentford.

Ahh what a shame it isn't national. Fair play to the dude who got it :wink:

Usual price in my local store, Sprucefield, Northern Ireland :disappointed:

nothing at segensworth, hedge end, bexhill, Sevenoaks or tunbridge wells...

None in Lyons farm Worthing.

i cant get to it

You voted cold because the shop doing the deal ain't on your doorstep #genius

Just been to Doncaster store and there's none of 1070s there but i picked up a GTX 1050 (non Ti) for £89.91, reduced from £125. It was a last one though. Would make a not bad upgrade for my humble setup.

so true, i voted cold as nearest currys is 16 miles away from me

All usual price in my local store.

Just called customer services as I'm in Kent. None here apparently. Can only search 25 miles from a specific store so asked for various stores in and around London. The had one in Stevenage and one in Beckton if those are any good to anyone. I can't take the time to travel unfortunately

LOL, genuine Windows 10 alone will take a big chunk off that £300. :smile:
Have you seen the current prices for good quality DDR4 & SSD?
A decent 550w PSU isn't cheap.
:wink:

dick move man....

Display model? It's hardly going to have screen burn, it's just going to be stock on the shelf surely..

Hardware wise PC gaming is certainly more expensive. Depending on the types and number of games you buy and whether or not you sell on your old console games a PC can be cheaper overall.

As Intel has had so little competition for a long time performance hasn't evolved that far. A 5 year old 3570k would be fine with the 1070.

For most people they might as well not exist if chancers are just going to buy all of them. I imagine they are the same at parties too.. "Look guys, I just got 3 whole pizzas and a 24-pack all to myself! Someone had just left them lying there!"

Not available at Shieldhall, Glasgow.

ofc he is, they don't even stock that quantity on full priced cards

Lucky git! :smiley:

OK.

is he trolling? i wanted to buy one from him

Whilst the price is great, going to have to vote cold since I can't even get it

Why go to the hassle? how much do you expect to make? I done that before thinking it was a good idea and while ebay is full of suckers I really didn't make much for the trouble I went to.

Sorry...i should have asked what monitor resolution you play at first.
If you are using a 1080 monitor, then your 970 is just fine.
if you want to move up to a resolution of 1440 then the 1070 is a great update, will even play some games in 4k with adjusted settings.
buy a 1080 or a 1080ti if you want to blitz the game on a 4k settings monitor

Holy ****...yes.
But these look like phantom sales.

I did just that and I wouldn't say the jump in quality / performance was that big. Wish I'd saved my pennies for a 1080ti when that reduces. Even a 1080 would offer at least 4k in decent frame rates. I wouldn't recommend it unless you've a specific game or task that warrants it.

No stock in any northern area but found the odd store with 1 left around north London and surrounding. So lucky if you get one

Good deal. As for the console v PC thing, it's boring. Have both.

Fingers crossed for some similar deals in the next few weeks!

It doesn't appear that they updated the 1070, only the 1060 and 1080 according to that article, and instead just dropped the price.

Replacing a motherboard, PSU and RAM every 7 years? Are you mining Bitcoins? Sure you have to update components occasionally (although I haven't had to touch anything in the 3 years I've had my PC), but the advantage of owning a PC is that you can upgrade whenever you want, and within your budget. Far better than when Sony says "hey our new console is coming out, you need to spend £350 on this day or you're not playing new games anymore". If you get some Christmas money from your grandparents you can even decide to have a better gaming experience, which again you can't do with a Playstation.

I don't know what components you're getting for £300 to make this a £550 PC, but they aren't going to be high-end. Additionally you've only factored the cost of getting a new GPU every console generation, but in reality you may also need to upgrade supporting components such as the CPU, motherboard and RAM (And PSU if your new gfx card is power hungry).

I prefer PC gaming to console gaming, but it's not cheaper.

The original PS4 and Xbox One are absolute tanks. They're huge and very loud. Small, aesthetically-pleasing PC cases are available these days.

You could probably build a decent PC around this for about £300, assuming you're starting from scratch. Again, once you factor all of the money saving things in, it's cheaper in the long run. Not to mention a far superior gaming experience. And you can use it for work and other PC things.

Let's not forget that PS players have had to pay: £350 at launch for the PS4, £350 again for the PS4 Pro, and will probably have to spend £400 in 2 years when the PS5 comes out. £35/year for online = £245 over 7 years too. So not paying for online pays for a new top-of-the-range graphics card every console generation. Sure, trade-ins knock some of the cost off, but console gaming is not cheap.

To put it another way, this graphics card + £300 of other components gets you a high-end PC for £550.

A PS4 at launch + 7 years of online = £350 + £245 = £595. For a far weaker, more restricted platform with a tiny library. Try and maths your way out of that :smiley:

Hi guys Does anyone know if this is the updated version of the card?

I'm guessing this model would be the original due to the price cut. If so, can anyone explain if the difference between the cards would be noticeable?

Cheers

Yeah I completely agree, a well built high spec gaming PC will wipe the floor with the console, but you're going to be nowhere near the low cost of the PS4 Pro haha.

Yes gaming PCs are better in many ways, but it's undeniable that consoles have a very firm place in the market. Cheap to buy, games often on offer, and they are small and quiet units that fit in most living rooms without batting an eyelid.

true dat, and PS4 pros are 300 now, although I'm not saying it would be better than a full system with a 1070

So you're saying that this graphics card, on it's own, is better than a PS4 Pro?... Just going to ignore the cost of a PSU, Motherboard, processor, SSD/HDD, RAM, case, etc?...

What a deal! Absolutely wipes the floor with a PS4 Pro for £100 less. And that's not even factoring in free online, cheaper games, not paying £30 a pop for "remasters" of last-gen games, and the ability to upgrade when and as you want. Wow.

The jump is substantial, with a performance increase of over 50% in most modern titles. If you're only gaming at 1080p then it doesn't matter much since the 970 already blitzes most games at max settings, but if you want to game at 1440p or 4K and get a big boost in frames then the difference is significant.

I'll find/post it when I'm back home

What’s the product code for this? Tnx.

It's under WAS price. And at the botom of the lable it says 20/5/2017 which is the actual day of that price displayed :smile::smile::smile:

I agree with you saying "A deal is only a deal if its available" but users have found them in stores so your argument isn't credible

20 LOL what a vulture!!!

A deal is only a deal if its available. Its nothing personal against the OP or any other sensitive viewers

I just picked up 20 from Alperton for eBay. Wise up guys!

I picked up 2x Asus 750ti from Currys two weeks ago, £99 reduced to £79 and in a clearance to £40. Sold both on eBay for £90 each (£1 FVF).

Deals do exist.

Your comment doubting another posters credibility when they've taken the time to post a deal (the very thing that keeps the site alive) appears misplaced.

It's hot if people vote it vote.

One user said he found 5 of them in Alperton and another person stated that they have one in Lancaster, check the comments.

Only OP got one of these, why are people voting it hot if it's never been available for others?

Just rang up, only 1 display model in Lancaster apparently

Next week or two we should see home great deals when vega is announced (probably with prices)
Wallet is ready.

Not sure how that influences the fact that nobody has confirmed this is available? What has my membership got to do with something that may not exist?

Rang up this morning, none left at this price

Burn :laughing:

This is only hot if proven to be available

This is Vindaloo Hot

HOT HOT HOT.

Oh darnit, tempted to go hunting to change up the 480, must resist

Do not pay any attention to the 'was' price dates, it may have been that price in the past but the dates are always incorrect

I've got a 970. Worth upgrading?

national?

Don't feed him.

Bought 5 for ebay at alperton store.

I bet trading standards made them do that. they're like dfs when it comes to sales and prices

When a Currys price ticket tells you a "was" price, they tell you exactly WHEN it was that price. That's what the dates are, NOT the start and end dates of a reduction.

No idea why it's saying that, I have no idea when the deal started.

"From 07.02.2017 - 21.03.2017" ? Which store?

My local store was selling the equivalent gtx 1060 for £179.99.

Ouch. I bought a used one for £270 last week thinking I was getting an amazing deal.

What is it

great price but the blower fan probably sounds like a tornado.

Do you have the product code ?

They do that so you know when it was the higher price... so they can't put it up for a day and then claim you are getting 50% off. it's a good thing.

thx. this date is displayed under "was" price.. weird

£249 for a GTX 1070 8GB is mental good price, however it's a dream, pinch me some one.

Just waiting on parts for a Ryzen 1600 build..... was planning to hold out for a £150 480/580/1060..... though £250 for a 1070 is very tempting :o

Very hot

Anyone else found this?

Hot as furk

wow I like curry

Release the geese!
