the uk is the uk, theres a reason its called the ripp off island even by locals
but i dont think there will be a constant 300$ difference of 480 and 5870...maybe 200$... but even that would surprise me... why would they ripp off nvidia users more than ati users?
the top 480s already have waterblocks, thats a good 100$ preimium, it seems that 75-100$ separates the two

ive played on a 2560x1600 demo rig and i found it very frustrating to have this awesome screen i just couldnt feed with gpu horse power... idk, its been a while so maybe things have improved by now... but from what i see in reviews 2560x1600 perf is usually still in the 30s fps wise if not less... and thats average fps...
the same guy who got the 30" just had me rebuild his machine, a phenom quad 3.4ghz, 4GBs of ddr3, and a 5850, plays CoD MW2 maxed out, and i mean maxed the F out, as smooth as can be.
