would the 6800 still be the better buy? i'm leaning towards the 6600gt atm.

at those prices either card is a bad deal.

well what else can i do?

this is what they are in this country.

honestly, it won't be long before a $300 card costs £300

in germany a 6600gt is alil too much too but not that much. 189 ? for the gigabyte one. maybe you should have them ship it? shouldnt be a problem since its all eu.

meh. not really worth it. only like £130 instead of £155. with (uk) tax i would guess about even.

or do i not have to pay extra VAT on imports from the eu?

i just checked and the cheapest i found for agp is 229 euros which is weird but i found an agp 6800gt for 379?

all these prices include them damn 16% vat i dont know if you can have em take that off since your not in germany you would have to ask.

im pissed if i take away the 16% vat the price still too high. the euros been strong for long enough by now to adjust them. the only good thing is that i dont have to pay my computers anyway since my employer buys me my home pc too.

anyway this is bullshit.

worst example is the v1100 which costs 235 dollars and 279 euros wtf? 279 euros are 365 dollars.
3500+ at monarch 250 bucks here again 279?. were getting screwed over big time. thats not 16% taxes. thats more like 40-50%.

 

[imported_alp]

it's 17.5% vat here...

Does the NV45 GeForce 6800 non-ultra PCI-E edition fix the video processor problem found in the original NV40?
