i would, my current internet package is download-capped and i bet downloading the game will be 4GB-6GB.

would be better if you could redeem the coupon in gamestation or something

Yea, not only though but how packed will the servers be on release? But anyway keep it handy for me just in case and I will know who to come to if I need it

and I can do it over paypal and you can P/M it to me with photographic proof

toon_mad · 5 Oct 2009 at 19:18

Virgin Media are renound for there throttling unfortunately so I doubt it

I'm confident it has it as well, there is meant to be a small dirt 2 pic on the box of both sapphire and HIS 5850's and since the sapphire does come with it, I'm hoping HIS is the same story

And I will be able to sleep perfectly fine tonight

maybe not the next night though

the 50Mb don't have STM yet...

so its full speed all day.

it just depends if the game file is on a fast server.

Hmm? When I had 20Mb last year before moving house, throttling made it unusable.

Are you saying that as soon as I moved house, not only did they roll out 50Mb but also removed throttling???

I'm gutted tbh.

No i just searched google it only applies to the 50meg service which will be controlled in the future, either there just taking time to do it or they want to give their first highest paying customers a premium for a bit, sounds good haha

50Mb never had throttling. sometime in the future it will have.

Any chance of keeping this vaguely on topic about 5850's etc rather than the wonders/or lack of, Virgin Media?

craig3000 · 5 Oct 2009 at 19:58

Yea wondering off course here hahaha

Lads who are getting their Sapphire tomorrow make a separate thread and bundle all your pics in there etc

Doh I never saw it, needs a bump

Damn you Powercolour, don't you know what you're putting the fair people of this forum through? :eek:

Andy Pandy · 5 Oct 2009 at 20:46

It is very hard for me to read the forums with a resolution of 800x600 so sorry if the question has been asked. Some people are getting their 5850s tomorrow and their status says "printed in our warehouse". My Powercolor 5850 says "In our warehouse queue" :confused:

I ordered on the 24th and have read that there was sufficient stock to cover all pre orders. Is mine on its way?

Thanks!

Incorrect those are the sapphire 5850's only, powercolors are expected Wedensday with the possibility of a few in tommorow, 3 HIS 5850's are guaranteed tommorow but have been taken and I think XFX cards are expected Friday as normal

Mr Paul · 5 Oct 2009 at 20:51

ANy idea when Asus 5850's will be in?

I dont expect to get my card until Friday then. And with BFG doing nothing for me in the RMA, I am getting annoyed!

omg ive just check my account and apparantly my powercolor has been switched to a saphire and posted to me. how random is that.
