does anyone know if there is any difference between the powercolor and sapphire, apart from the dirt game and packaging, are any technically better - they look identical, never had either brand - or ati.

cheers

There is no difference at all except the stickers and the packaging.

Unless they have short shipped we have more than enough stock for all back orders.
 
Thanks for the update, i can stop refreshing now hoping to see 'Printed in our warehouse queue' :p
Im definitely in next tuesday aswell so bonus points from me there :) Really can't wait, you've done a great job.
 
Hi Fatboy i know you busy but do you know if i change my order to a 5870 will it run on this board Gigabyte P35-DS3L that supports pci-e 2.0 ?
 
Just in time for flashpoint 2, Awesome!!! - Anyone seen anything about the web about GPU waterblocks - not full cover, and if EK or swiftechs universal GPU block would fit
 
Thanks for the replies that makes it interesting i doubt it fit in a Antec Sonata case though the older ones ?, i have a old case i could put one in, will a OCZ ModXStream Pro 600w do the trick i hope it would.

Yep.
 
Thought I would centralise the 5850 information. There will be no 5850 Product arriving in our warehouse today. There are three shipments of product arriving currently two from Powercolor and one from Sapphire. There is plenty of stock due to cover back orders with a fair chunk left for re-sale.

This stock is due (not 100%) to be with us Monday morning as long as there are no issues with the consignments.

Anyone who wishes to change over for a Sapphire 5870 I am able to offer a £10 discount.

Sorry for the delay guys it really is out of my hands if there was anyway for me to speed this up I would.

noooooooooes changed my order to a sapphire 5870 on weds afternoon because i was there in person to pick it up :( guess i've missed my £10 discount :p
 
Massive bummer! I'll have to wait till next weekend now. :(

Anyway, cheers for keeping us updated fatboy. Shame ATI couldn't of been a bit more open about the release date for the 5850.

Might as well get leathered this weekend then. :D
