What summer sale ? The only time Valve decide to reduce anything beyond a nominal amount is at Christmas...

Perhaps try reading it again then ?

Im going to be devils advocate and return to your first choice 750Ti , the one very obvious advantage this card has over like priced AMD cards , is it power usage , as in it does not need a PCEI connector and uses so little power it can run of the PCIE slot .

I have no idea if this is a issue for you but please keep this in mind whilst choosing your video card upgrade

I feel almost embarrassed to have to tell you " the one that happens at the end of june " .

If you don't believe me Google it .

One item reduced by 1p does not a sale make...

Existing card uses one and there is another lurking in the case.

Being deliberately subversive wont help your course when said sale does start , if it is one item reduced by 1p , i will yield to your subversion .

Though I am very confident , if its called the " steam summer sale " thats exactly what it will be .

Have ordered a wee beast and hopefully will report on how it is on Monday night if delivery firm behave.

Will say which card once I have some stats

It would all depend on which course I steer...

Well it arrived and has been installed and World of Tanks is running smoothly at maximum settings and Battlefield3 is running very sweetly at max settings on 1920x1080

Got it for £130 as an Amazon B-grade, only downside was no driver CD

Have not heard a peep from the fans yet, case fans are noiser (Dell Inspirion 690 - a 25kg monster)

Hopefully get a couple of years use from it
