I'll wait for them to drop. You might as buy two 4850's and xfire and overclock them for little more than one 4870.

Watch out on competitors guys, no hinting.

true, true. I'm sure if you looked around you could find a GTX 260 for near that price. The big reason these were so amazing was that they were meant to be sub £200.

Compared to what though ? It's far cheaper than the GX2 and GTX280 :confused:

I seen a competitor selling them for £1000000, well done OcUK, great price.

Yewen, it says

2 Year Warranty with HIS/OcUK.

Does that mean first year btb at OcUK and then the second year is direct with HIS or what...?

I mean these are still a decent bit faster than the GTX260 but this really is price gouging given the RRP and other factors

Please all read the FAQ before replying. You all know the rules.

can you do 4 way CrossFireX ?

Vir · 25 Jun 2008 at 11:14

Does ANYBODY know when the 1GB version comes out? I wanna buy a 26" monitor but I don't know if my 8800GT 512mb will handle games at that resolution. This 4870 seems ok

Gino · 25 Jun 2008 at 11:16

:O 4 way thats pro so if you can do 4, you can do 3 way to?

It is with ourselves, unless you REALLY, REALLY want to deal with HIS direct.

You can run 3, we are planning to have a look at how it performs.

A little over £200 might be acceptable for the 1GB version, but anyone who pays the current prices for the 512MB version is a bit silly.

As someone said, completely negates the point of the cards - that of value for money.

Tom|Nbk · 25 Jun 2008 at 11:18

Erm no. OCUK are the only people with stock. By the looks of things other retailers won't be getting their cards in for a week or so. Therefore OCUK can charge the hell they want.

They always get first stock allocation from ATi. Guess Gibbo is having a love affair with one of the seniors or something
