IMO That means "512MB Per GPU or 1GB total". Also, looking at sapphire's site, there isn't any mention of there being 2 different 3870X2s, also, the difference in the amount of RAM wouldn't ever equate to a £100 difference, especially as it's GDDR3. I honestly can't see any company making a 3870X2 with a total of 512MB RAM. Plus the fact that it refers to a 3870 Toxic card, check the manu-ref it points to a sapphire 3870 Toxic, £150 for one of them seems about the right price.

I really cant see this as been true, if they wanted a 3870X2 with 512mb of ram they would have used 3850Pro's that have 256mb ram, its just going to cripple performance though not worth it at all unless you game at really low res and then it may end up been ott.
You'd be surprised. Im pretty sure thats a mislabelled toxic.
this goes for £160 on the site i found it on.
if it doesnt exist then im sorry but it seems its for sale.

Thats the same card as i have bought. Sapphire dont have a Toxic X2 card yet the highest Toxic card is the 3870. See here for whats available http://www.sapphiretech.com/us/.
Sapphire doesn't do a toxic X2, but there seems to be a mass confusion over what is what. A lot of sites are listing 3870X2s with the manufacturer number of a toxic card, and then there's sapphire toxic cards listed with a photo of an X2. All the manu-numbers point to a sapphire 3870 toxic card. I contacted a place that said I will be receiving an X2 card in the next few days. (I've grabbed my self one obviously 
)
)It does say 3870 x2 gddr4 google states that powercolour and sapphire are releasing these,either way if a single 3870 comes through my door its getting sent back,as they state in my order its a 3870x2
,surely they have to honour a 3870x2 if it says so in my receipt? 
It does appear the descritption to that particular product is wrong, however the new DDR4 X2s will be out shortly.
With regards to sending it back, you should have no problem as you have the Distance Selling Act to allow you to return the item - especially as it isnt the thing that you wanted.
