ATI to release new "high-end" chips!

[Adrianr]

I got my 280 installed. It's awesome and more importantly, its faster than Easyriders card.

This is good.

Hah.

Of course it is.

I sold my 4870 today for the new cards.

I'm not gaming at the moment.I'm to busy building myself a home cinema room.By the time its finished the new cards will be out and I can play all my games on a 92" screen.With the lastest tech.

You can follow progress very soon.

Glad you have a nice fast card. Have fun!

You've sold your graphics card in order to buy a new card with:

a) No name
b) No release date
c) No product specifications
d) No nothing bar a few inquirer articles

Yet you are lecturing us on sensible graphics card purchasing?

Indeed, Sometimes it fun to take a gamble. The new cards are not going to be slower than current gen are they? So its very low risk.

I don't need a card right now.I'm not gaming.

So I'm sitting pretty.Why have a top end card in my PC thats not going to be used for at least 6-8 weeks.

I have ditched my 4870 at the right time. I want my Home cinema finished by Christmas so all my energies are going into that.

I'll see whats about then.

I almost agree with you here.
In 6-8 weeks you'll either feel really smug with your new 4970, OR you'll feel really smug because you bought an awesome system for less than you sold this one for.

I have nothing to lose.

I bought my 4850s CF for £110 each, I sold one for £110 and the other yesterday for £120. You can get close to what you paid by selling through other areas where people will pay slightly more (i.e. less savvy consumers )

Thats despicable !

Really gets on my marbles and man boobies when I see people selling Q6600s for £120 and am like its £120 on ocuk brand new... having said that I cant say too much cos I got one from MM for £50 a few months ago lol

And £40-50 imo is a good normal price for it since its used/overclocked or what not been done too it.

Whenever I have 2nd hand/used goods and if there's few months warranty on it I price it 50-60% of the price, not brand new price ! Same should apply to all 2nd hand/used hardware imo we shouldn't be just knocking off £10-20 off it, if its a 4850 and we all know u can have it for £100-110 brand new should be £70-80 imo.

Just my views on it anyhow, not like its gonna stop people selling there old/2nd hand used goods for brand new prices on MM or anything

Someone else's willingness to pay £x is not my problem, I don't seek to give away anything I want to sell either.

My point was to highlight what easy talks about, if you sell things at the right time you can minimise depreciation, or even not have any. Q6600 B3 to G0 was the same as well, I sold the B3 for £5 more than I paid for a G0.

i like your logic. this how nvidia and ati think and then rip our a**** off.

 

[crunchyfr]

great ive done it again i got a x1900xt just a month before
the next gen card was released.
im glad i did not bother to upgrade so quickly as i got given a 1gb 2900xt for free and now i have a Palit 1gb hd4870 (2 days now)
i see a new gpu is coming .... oh well i hope they are delayed at least a few more months
but as i game at 1680x1050 this card should last a year or so

Hopefully not

Tis why I don't rant too much about it, if someone buys something and can sell it for no loss or more or less no loss then go for it

Still hate it when I see it though
