Yes they are free delivery for loyal forum members, nothing has changed there. ;)

I don't qualify for loyal member free shipping yet, I thought that before they had arrived all orders were free shipping, now when I go to checkout it only has DPD next day parcels £9.

Nope we don't offer a free shipping service, unless your a loyal forum member.

*scream*

Can't decide between this and a 460.

The no CUDA thing for premiere / adobe products (and I admit, I do really wanna see Physx for the hell of it) make me want the geforce... but paying more for slightly less performance makes me :mad:

AFAIK I can get it but when I try to add my forum account I get:

That makes sense, shame that I'm just not quite loyal enough yet.

I think that it accelerates with Ati as well but they just don't publicise it quite as much. Ati stream tech I think it's not quite at Cuda levels like for like but it does work probably... I think the red and green do the same things in different ways.

So I've ordered one now just hope my PSU doesn't explode or maybe just get a new one hope it fits too.

Just wondering, I ordered one last night (11PM), I'm over in Ireland, if weather wasn't an issue would it arrive Friday?
It says 'In the warehouse queue'. I Chose 2 day parcel Eire & Scottish with DPD. So excited to get this card, moving up from a 4850. :cool:

My BenQ G2222HDL arrived today as well. Unfortunate the monitor only comes with a cheapy VGA cable, so I gonna need to get a DVI cable separately.

Was just wondering...if I was to connect to the DVI input of the monitor, would a HDMI to DVI cable work connecting to the HDMI port of the 5850, or do I have to use DVI to DVI cable?

Get a hell of a lot with that card compared to the Xfx 6970. All I got was a crossfire bridge and a do not disturb door hanger. No other cables of any type.:p
