This is for all our UK readers! I was just checking out some of the bigger online retailers to see who's listing the GeForce FX 5800 or GeForce FX 5800 Ultra. Boy this is rip-off Britain @ it's best! Here's what Komplett.co.uk is charging and these boy's are one of the cheapest in the UK plus here's what you would pay if you live in the States @ Bestbuy.com $399.99 dollars and that's £266.88 Pounds is someone taking the P***.
Gainward GeForce FX 5800 128MB DDR2 AGP, "Ultra/800 Plus GS", Retail @ GBP 329.42 inc. VAT
Gainward GeForce FX 5800 Ultra 128MB DDR AGP, "Ultra/1000 Plus GS" m/lyd & 1394 @ GBP 431.34 inc. VAT
You would have to be out of your mind, if you were to hand over that much for Nvidia's latest DustBuster and I suggest you spend your pennies on this... Click on the Pic's for the price! I hate to think how much you could save on these two cards, if you lived in the States.

Having experienced the pink/yellow checkerboard of deth with a Gainward TI4200, and going through a big hassle with my vendor over it, I sent an email to Gainward about the issue and never ever got an answer from them. I'll never buy another Gainward card again, there are too many other mfg'ers out there who actually DO something about a known issue, the very least a response from them denoting they have received my email. Sorry, GW, you don't exist in my list of companies to do business with. |

Nividia's latest DustBuster Gainward does NOT have the FlowFX cooler, or whatever it's called. |

You call that ripoff? Are you insane? It costs 800$ in Denmark, 250$ off yours, and whats the gfx card below? With audio? DDR1? |

Overclockers.co.uk refused to even deal with me when my Ti4200 gainward card died. SO i had to ring gainward, who appeared helpful. But i've rung them twice and still no promised email, phonecall etc.. |
