In a bid to tackle post-X'mas slump in sales, particularly affecting its low-volume high-end products, NVIDIA reportedly concerted price-cuts for its single-GPU flagship graphics card, the GeForce GTX 680, in Europe. Prices of a Palit-made GTX 680 card across vendors dropped to 399€, from its X'mas shopping season peak-price of 432€, and normal price of 420€. Another premium card by EVGA saw similar price cuts, settling down at 420€. In other parts of the world, similar price-cuts are reported. An Extreme Edition card by ZOTAC, sold in China, dropped in prices by 799 RMB, settling down to 3999 RMB.

The UK never sees anything like this.

The cheapest 680 I can find is £359.62 which is about $580. The most expensive I have seen is ~ £480 which is ~ $770.

On the other hand, I can find 7950s for as low as ~£225. Which is very good for the UK but still more than anything people in the USA would pay for on Newegg.

Must mean the demand for 680s and 670s is very high in the UK frown.gif

stick with your 580 if it's not causing you much issues. don't get a 680 unless you plan on it being a short upgrade or unless you have SLI in mind down the road
