MSI 5850 Twin FrozrII Deal?

[Alexfk]

Is the MSI 5850 Twin FrozrII deal (for 135quid - OCuK), worth it do you reckon? I was plannign to get a the gtx 460 with the twin frozrII, but this seems like a good price, as the msi ngtx460 is like 160 at the moment. But i think it might mean that this card is ending v.soon, and i wanted to get another of whatever i get in the future, does it mean i will have a hard time to get another of the same 5850, also i think, at that range, SLI is better than XF?

Cheers guys.

Don't worry.
I think I'm going to stick with the gtx 460. Just read quite a few threads on a few problems, seems a few people had to RMA and i think it might be a bit of a dodgy batch - hence cheapness, and its just plain noisy - also the ati drivers i'd prefer to avoid.

If i knew how to end the post i would do lol.
Thanks a lot.

Probably best to avoid these, better off getting a GTX 460

Dont do it ! I made that mistake, I should have listened when I heard "if something sounds too good to be true it probably is". Terrible experience.

Thanks for the conformation lads. I was thinking this myself, i read all about both of your bad times with this card lol, unlucks - i do not want to go thorugh any of that, specially on my first ever build x).

There shouldn't be any problems if you don't plan on overclocking.
