A black 3870x2?
Really does look odd in that colour. Be interesting to see 4870 crossfire benchies to get arough idea of performance.

The above statement from Anandtech is extremely misleading to be honest and I'm very surprised they didn't say something more along the lines of "The 1000W OCZ EliteXStream was having problems running a system consisting of two ATI 4850 graphics cards, which could be various for example, a design fault or a faulty power supply unit. However, a branded 1000 wattage power supply unit would normally be more than enough to power a dual ATI 4850graphics card system, we were just experiencing problems with this particular unit".
There is absolutely no way that you will need a 1000 wattage power supply unit to power a system that includes two ATI 4850 graphics cards. It's also worth noting that they were experiencing very similar problems when trying to run a dual Nvidia GTX 280 with exactly the same power supply unit and to simply imply that a 1000 wattage power supply isn't enough to power a dual Nvidia GTX 280 system is again, misleading.

Sapphire X4850 spotted (in stock for tomorrow delivery) on a very large e-tailer for £149.99, and smaller e-tailers for £139.99.
That was there yesterday. Its not actually the etailor themselves but someone using it as a marketplace. So not really a proper sign of when theyll start appearing in the UK.
Well most etailers today all seem to be saying later today the cards and stock will be up and I guess that includes ocuk as well.
A bit of a git having to pay extra for Saturday delivery though.
Hopefully Gibbo can do a Saturday delivery for normal cost deal again? You liostening Gibbo!!!!
