UK's LOWEST PRICE - Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 4870 1024MB GDDR5 GFX Card - £144.99 +VAT

[Angilion]

Glad to hear I'm not the only one

Only problem is, my CPU is only clocking to 2ghz at the moment so it's already a bottleneck, but I'm going to try to sort that out this weekend.

So, so tempted.....

edit: oops, just ordered it. I blame too much wine.

I have a similar CPU (C2D [email protected]) and game at a similar resolution (1600x1200). I've just bought one too. I've been considering a new card for weeks and this sale price was the clincher.

Although I've had it sent to an incomplete address, so it can't be delivered. I blame...er...oh damn, I have nothing to blame

 

[Angilion]

whens then offer on till?

Close of business Tuesday. The rolling "this week only" sales are always start of busness Wednesday to close of business Tuesday.

 

[Yewen]

Just walked in and checked the sales...

Just a headsup that although we purchased enough to last for half a year we may run out before this week only ends.

Anyone holding off towards the end of the offer may want to reconsider!

 

[jvowles]

Interesting, i never knew what stock levels you bought....1/2 year, 3 a working day maybe, so roughly 370 units?

 

[krooton]

Got one, and thus am also in the draw, woohoo!

 

[rymz]

Same and same ^_^ ~ I just hope it can fit in me Antec 900 - which is also in a mess

Hi, just received mine today

Was too lazy to crack the box open upstairs so took a seat and had a peek, the sun was behind me so could see quite well. The card appeared to have collected some dust & also noticed a few scratches on the black casing In the sunlight there are a few areas on the casing that showed up similar to when u dont polish your car properly, like rubbed out !

Hope i havent got a duff one, also, i cant even test it until the following weekend as this is part of a new build for me

Deeammmmmnnn

All of our stock arrived new in sealed Sapphire boxes with the security tape not being tampered with. All the cards are new from manufacturer.

the minimum shipment would be 500.

Just to say it again guys, these are really taking off now news has gone around and we are looking at running out of stock on Monday if they keep selling at this rate.

Suppose that's a good thing, and a bad thing if ya don't get one in time

Can't wait to get mine. Curious as to see how bigger increase of fps I'll get in various games. - Also, because I've got a standard E6600 (2.4Ghz), is that a bad bottle-neck for this gfx card? How easy and safe is it to OC the E6600 to something substantial?

I've clocked an E2160, E6550 and E5200 all to 3Ghz or more with little to no effort

 

[carrot1401]

Depends on the cooler? Should be able to hit 3ghz and see a nice boost....

 

[Slime]

OK, I could probably do with a new card and this is tempting me. Can anyone tell me if my Enermax Liberty 500W would be up to the job of powering this? Currect spec is e6300 @ 2.8Ghz, GA-965P-DS3, 4GB GeiL RAM, X1900XT, 1TB F1, 320GB 7200.10. Cheers

Aye cool, will have to give it a go. I got this in '07 when it was £32, so hopefully it should be adequate enough

you should check this page out Slime, see if your psu is on there. I've had a quick look and assuming yours is the 'Liberty Eco ELT500AWT-ECO (500W)', it should be able to support anything upto the HD4870 X2.

Hmmm seriously thinking about picking up one of these to replace my sapphire 4870 512mb

Is it worth the effort?

decisions

 

[Mr Paul]

Is it worth going from the 4850 to a 4870?

 

[Stimpy_7]

Just to check guy's, is it free postage after you make 50 posts on here or is it 100?

Cheers Rymz, I've still got the box so I'll dig it out tonight and check but I'm pretty sure it'll be the same as the one that's listed. It would certainly be a nice upgrade from my X1900XT. It's starting to show it's age a little.
