    640mb 8800GTS for 379....yes, the one you linked to is pretty decent value and it is overclocked, but to be honest you can just overclock yourself and save a few quid....all the cards are the same.

    Personally I did look at Dabs Value myself and wonder who it was, it seems to be mostly Inno3D and nothing wrong with their stuff really, at least, I've alot of Inno3d cards with no bother.

    Oops...just saw the 'due in...' tag there on that link. That makes it a bit pointless then...sorry! For the price thats in it, I think the one you're thinking of is pretty good value for an overclocked out of the box 640mb model....beats kompletts prices anyway.

    Yeah it's close enough the BFG is pre-overclocked so I'd go with that.

    eVGA is the only one that tends ot go very high with overclocks like XFX do.

    Thanks - I appreciate your input lads!

    One of the customer service guys at dabs mentioned they are doing free delivery on orders over 89 + vat after 6pm today - just though I'd mention it.

    Finally, what about this card - it'll save me about €40 and seems, on the face of it, up to the same spec as the BFG.

    Thanks again.

    €40 is a good saving, i think my self i would go for it. Same amount of ram and prob will clock as high as the BFG card.
