Nice price, time for me to shop around

Can still pick it up for £517 from a very reputable seller.

Phoned up the company i was gonna buy the XFX off to find out about my refund. After finding out that they never stock them and only order them in when someone wants to buy one i decided to keep the order

So mine is on its way next week, which happens to be my week off i booked

I hope you have enough space in your case and some very good airflow and not forgetting your PSU.

that too.

I game at 1920x1200 with everything on max settings and i still think thats gonna be overkill for my future (next week) 5970.
I usually change my graphics card about every two years but with what i paid ill keep it for much longer.

Antec 1200, my first fits fine and has enough space for another (HDD cages are pulled out).

Airflowm y current card idles at 25 degrees, ambient temp is around 24 degress and during gaming i never see anything over 65 degrees.

PSu is 1000w.

Im a little worried about the stability of these 5870 and 5970 cards. As i look through a couple threads like the ones talking about the drivers their seems to be a lot of problems

unknownsock · 22 Mar 2010 at 15:40

Thats why it was probably cheap

a lot of cheap companies don't hold stock, or bend the truth about stock.
