Over here that card currently fetches about 480 GBP and stock is good.
Nice performance! I would like to add that looks wise for a triple fan cooler it is way nicer than the Gigabyte version, I really don’t like the random bit that sticks out on their cards simply for branding purposes; makes them unnecessarily wide as well.
This is actually a lot wider than the Gigabyte card, but a little less tall. Yes this is a great looking card although the blue thermal pads stumped me a bit..
I’m not really bothered by the fact that this is a bit wider because its all used up by the heat sink what irritates me is Gigabyte decided to add a random bit that sticks out the side for no reason other than branding… They could have made the whole thing that wide then had more effecting cooling area but nope just wasted with one word on a sticking out bit of metal!
