Could win a card to crossfire with it.

That would sure be nice - here's hoping Lol.

Thanks Yewen.

Keep up the good work.

not sure I would see that much benefit over my 3870 x 2 ?
Opinions please !

Would depend on the game, some games would show a huge performance leap.

If your games are lagging behind then time to upgrade.

On overclockers it states on the product description that it "support ATI CrossFireXTM technology, at x8 speed" & "Support ATI CrossFireXTM technology, up to Quad CrossFireX".

Anyone found a review? interested on how much better this custom cooler is.

If anything it looks similar to the one Powercolour use and at least it shouldnt be as loud as the stock one which is what some people have said.

So if i game at 1650x1050 will this be good enough to play games like Crysis (and warhead), Farcry 2, COD5 world at war, Fallout 3, GTA4 at over 30 FPS ?

Uhm, I play at 1900x1200 and it plays Crysis at around 40FPS and the rest around 60 - 80 FPS.

Stunning deal, at that price I would take one over the 260 all day long.

simbady · 28 Jan 2009 at 22:30

So can you water cool it??

queamin · 28 Jan 2009 at 22:38

OC are getting some good deals now

carrot1401 · 28 Jan 2009 at 22:42

So what are these new coolers like at idle and load?

reflux · 28 Jan 2009 at 22:44

If you're buying one, make sure your PSU can provide two 6-pin PCI-E plugs, or you can get hold of the converter cables required.

Johnboyjoe · 28 Jan 2009 at 22:49

deff tempting this will have to do some research and see what kind of gains i should expect over my current 8800gt, what u think guys?

F4810 · 28 Jan 2009 at 22:49

Come on stick the 4870 X2's up for £280 inc vat and you'll have loads of sales ;-)

I think maybe ATI have new cards round the corner and so want to shift all the old stock.

Andric · 28 Jan 2009 at 22:57

also want to know if can be watercooled - i.e. is it reference design board?

Angilion · 28 Jan 2009 at 23:11

I've just checked this card at a competitor. £215. Plus delivery. Which is a normal price.

Dealtime shows the lowest price as being £204 plus £10 delivery.

£167 with free delivery is a remarkable price.

I'm going to look at reviews of the card and the cooler. Noisy coolers really bug me.

I have a 256MB 7900GT at the moment. I think I might notice a difference

And there's the outside chance of winning another one in the prize draw and thus getting half-price crossfire...

If I wasn't so tired today, I'd have bought one already.

Hairboi · 28 Jan 2009 at 23:17

Would one of these fit in my silverstone sugo1 case, and would it have suffcient cooling?
