Hey Gibbo, any incoming deals on the 570's before I make any decision?

I also would like to know the answer to this?

How do you get 340? I guess that's taking into account selling your 5850?

Dont think so.
Gibbo said that 570 are in short supply and margins are tight.

Is this a one day only deal?

Yes.

Mmm ... tempted to flog my 5970 and get 3 of these (for £510.60) ... triifre 5870 was nice on single screen (but serious overkill!) and still vRam limited for Eyefinity so had its limits, these should be well good when clocked

Have 3 in my basket .... finger poised!

thanks jokester, I am really thinking about getting two of these puppies.
Thatch a corker of a deal there for xfire under £400!

I got a SLI 470 don't know if I can justify it thought.......

imo...waste of money, there's nothing really that your current cards can't demolish in frame rate.... SLI 470's??? they are NO slouch

Don't bother. It would be like spending £400 for a side-stepping, considering that overclocked GTX470 won't be slower than overclocked 6950.

Worth going to one of these from 5770 Crossfire? Can't find a single review that compares them :rolleyes:

Thanks,

Thanks,

5770 CF offers pretty similar performance to a 5870 according to Tom's graphics charts. Might be a good comparison point as all reviews for the 6950 will have the 5870...

Edit: Kept messing up the link to the comparison between 5770CF and 5870. Hope it works this time!

Lol sooo tempted replacing the 6870 for a 6950. Oh the choice :|

pingu666 · 19 Dec 2010 at 15:50

gonna grab one i think

Rew-UK · 19 Dec 2010 at 15:55

Haha got 2 of these bad boys on the way

Sayso · 19 Dec 2010 at 15:57

DAMN YOU GIBBO

(on order!!)

GoogalyMoogaly · 19 Dec 2010 at 16:01

I've currently got a 5870.
Would I see much improvement by getting 2 of these for 6950CF as opposed to buying a 2nd 5870 and going to 5870CF?
