Any you guys waiting for the 5870x2 (5970) to get released ??

Am myself is holding off buying a standard 5870 and waiting to see what the price and Performance is going be of the 5870x2 (5970) GPU card...
Also waiting because i only have a SLI motherboard which rules out being able to crossfire two standard 5870 GPU cards...

I think I have budgeted enough for it

you spent £350 on a PSU??? Are you mad?

AWBbox · 27 Oct 2009 at 19:08

It's a decent PSU, plus that's OCUK's price. It was the last one in the country so it was more than it should have been really. I couldn't ignore that gigantic 93 amp single rail design though.

Yep I want one.

It's very rare, the 759 is the one with the NF200 chip on board. Also, the EK waterblock that it's fitted with costs just under £100 on its own. The price includes shipping from the USA.

I'd rather eat.

you probably want to add another 100 to that price because of import tax!

I've ordered a 5850, if I don't crossfire another before xmas, I'll be ordering a 5870x2 just after.

That's also the reason I can afford to spend £350 on a power supply

95thrifles · 27 Oct 2009 at 22:18

beinf able to afford and it being sensible to spend that amount are 2 entirely different things though, I could afford it too but I never would
