no no rolypolyman, we are all patient and wait for the good stuff to come and not bolt in the last 2 weeks
Ouch LOL
Soldato
still dont get why this isnt called a GTX 485
Same reason that 6870 isnt called 6750
Marketing, nothing more nothing less.
At the end of the day this is Nvidia were talking about. King of the name changes.

Yup, am sure OcUK will beat all other retailers like the 6800 launch
*cough*
Yeah, LOL, why I bought a 470 because it was cheaper and better.

And hotter and more power hungry.
Its swings and roundabouts.
Fact is you should have waited...

Is that not what we all do. LOL Truth is the gpu makers have got you all believing you need the latest gpu when you dont. A few xtra fps giving you 80,90 no 100fps in your favourite game, will you notice the difference suckers.
Just a bit of fun.
I know and he knows I am right and he should have waited 2 weeks for the new cards as this will have a direct impact on current gen cards.

Its all about the heat and noise V performance

Thats unlucky bro.
i've had the 5870 since the SEP release. Sapphire edition for £305, for 1year 2 months, stock cooler.
Core 1000mhz DDR5 1300mhz
True had a bit of probs with powerplay + afterburner but the tribulations was fun
Quiet, fast, low power draw and never gave me any trouble. Now I got MLAA and still beats a 480GTX stock vs stock in Crysis.
And trust me I had a few.
I just got an urge to upgrade and its going to be a tussle between 580GTX ( feel like trying a bit of green ) 6970 2gb (< might be a beast ) on which to get.
Yes, unlucky I would say as I've had nearly every 'quickest' ATI card since an ATI Mach 64 without any problems. I alway go for the quickest at the time so I've been through a few Nvidias as well.

I dont think it will be enough to have me crying. Please remember I 'upgrade' my gpu at least once a year so either august or Xmas next year I will go thru it all again. Oh dear!

The tears are being repressed by your Purchase justification syndrome kicking in

Sorry if I missed your purchase, was it 2x 470's you went with? I can't imagine you'd be disappointed with those and definately not by next Christmas.

Fact is the 470 is not going to drop any lower than what rolypolyman paid for his, even when the 69** cards hit town, if it does I'll use a sig of any AMD fans choosing ;/
He went with the OCUK 470, bargain.
