About 38A on 2 rails (use 2 connectors, one from each rail), I don't see it being a problem.

If you pre order do you take the money when the orders placed. I have not pre ordered from OCuk before.
There won't be any stock left by then
C'mon Gibbo, throw me a game or two and I'm clicking the buy button now
They do.

Good price, still more tempted by the 6950s though. The 6950s scale better in Crossfire too don't they?
Good deal if you don't mind old tech though. If I had a 5850 I'd be very tempted to add this one and go CF.
But doesn't a 4870x2 outperform a single 5850? And they seem to be selling for less than this second hand.

Bah, still awaiting a freebie

That wouldn't be fair, would make the value of my pre-order no better than the stock price

Two for £250!
Great deal if you can crossfire.
I have this setup and was considering the Hd6970, until I compared the benchy's and it would be a huge backwards step to swap.
Keeping my 5850's and saving the money for something else.

How would a 5970 compare to it.
that's the kind of performance you're looking at.http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/165?vs=180
Spread the word on other forums guys, this deal is amazing and it would be sad to see people paying the £150-£180 most other websites are asking for 5850's.
500 is more than enough to go round, so if you guys can help spread this word of this amazing deal then please do so.
Its an MSI built card I believe, their military capacitors, custom cooler etc.
