Fatboy, please would you be kind enough to change my order to a Sapphire 5850 instead of a PowerColor one. I wasn't given an order number (Phone) but once again, my first name is Naim and my postcode is E14 3FD. Order for one Samsung F3 500GB drive and one 5850. Many thanks.

Done ;)
 
Is there any reason why people are wanting to change their powercolor order to a sapphire card? They are the exact same card with the same 2 year warranty with ocuk, and both come with dirt 2, or am i missing something?

I am struggling to see why also. Unless they know something we don't.
 
Must just be personal preference i guess. Oh fatboy, would it be possible to add the MX518 to my order from TWO? Or should i just make a seperate order? Thought doing it this way would save you paying postage twice ;) Don't want it to affect my place in the queue if there is a shortage of cards for whatever reason though :p

I can't see where it says the Saphire one i have ordered comes with Dirt 2?

Only the powercolor cards actually say they come with Dirt 2

But I'm sure pretty much all of the 5850's come with a Dirt 2 voucher, I think I must have seen this in a couple of reviews and other places, although don't take my word for it

I can't remember off the top of my head but i've read it many times that the 5850's come with the dirt 2 voucher.

3 reasons for me.

1. Sapphire have just been around longer, and are more (imo) reputable. In reviews with exactly the same card (no 3rd party coolers, OC'ing etc) they seem to perform and OC better.

2. On top of that, the fact that PowerColor is spelt the American way just bugs the hell out of me.

3. Lastly, after new price syndrome goes down, Sapphire's tend to pull in a tiny bit more money than PowerColor's. PC's tend to be the cheapest of all the cards bar OCuK Value one's.
 
Ordered a 5870 at 2.30 today for Saturday delivery order number OC890919.
Says printed in warehouse, could you tell me if it will be sent out today?
