what i want to know also

690-700 without a flash. You are limited by the CCC to 700mhz.

hmm tempting and very cheap

i would rather get a 4870 and not have to clock it, than get a 4850 and clock it. I am not fussed at the price, i was going to get a nvidia, but these seem really good.

Also, at the moment i have e2180 @ 2.00, should i overclock, or get a q6600 and overclock that.

All my specs are in my sig

Just curious as to why you dont want to o/c the card but would overclock a processor ?

Nvidia's finally getting their asses kicked.

And the 4870X2 yet to come

just a question when people go on about the HIS ICEQ cooler coming out at the end of the month on the newer cards do you think his would sell the coolers on there own or would it be just as easy to buy a cooler from overclockers

this has probably been asked before but, is there any major difference between a HD3870 and the 4870, is it worth the extra £90 or so.

4850 is just slightly behind the X2 3870 sometimes . Never mind one 3870.

Wow, if what your saying is true, then finally ATi are becoming great rivals to nVidia for a change.

I think i upgrade to the 4870 when the ICEq one comes out, and get a q6600. do you think i should upgrade my Geil 2gb ram aswell?
