Hi guys,
Ive been stalking the slickdeals and fatwallet for a while now and I've seen some mad deals on some cards. 9800GX2 for $229. And today GTX 260 for $140. Is Nvidia dropping their prices so they can be on par with ATI's price/performance? Or are retailers just offering some crazy deals?
 
A 260 for $140.... that's 70GBP roughly. Same price as an 8800GT. Of course, with taxes and the Rip-Off Britain™ effect... still about 100GBP.

And you can get a Visiontek 4870X2 for about 250GBP. We can't get any decent brands like that and we pay 100GBP more for a Sapphire or Powercolor. Britain kinda sucks sometimes.

Seems like you should move to the states then. Anyway, what refreshes are you talking about?

GTX 260 for $140 was (is) a price mistake, order cancellations will follow shortly ;) 9800GX2 is old stuff, $229 is the right price for it. Don't base your conclusions on such sparse data :D
