[Clairvoyant]

4980 will do for now.

Good to see each manufacture a the same price tho.

 

[Martini1991]

Overclockers has the best price, and first to have stock lol..

 

[ViRuS2k]

Better be quick Peeps, 9 5870s left

 

[RavenXXX2]

Great price fron OCUK, the competition is currently way higher.

 

[mothermachine]

what kind of PSU is recommended for one of these badboys then? I have an 850W Corsair I assume that would be suitable?

You could run 3x 5870s on that psu. preferably if its branded ect and a good quality

nice one.

i'm going to wait for reports on how ATI handles drivers for 3d apps. if they're as crap as previously then no upgrade for me. if they perform reliably however one of these cards is on my list

cheers,

Haven't really been paying much attention to the 5 series.

How much better is the 5870 compared to the 5850 in FPS terms?

I mean, is it roughly the same difference as 4850 and 4870?

He probably slipped into a coma the second his finger his the Submit button when he bought his 2 cards!

 

[krooton]

And here comes my dilemma!

Sell 4870 for around £90, buy 5850, total spend = £110
or
Buy additional 4870 for around £90 and crossfire

2 4870s will chow loads more power though, and my mobo is only 8x/8x PCI-E

Guess I need to wait to see some 5850 reviews

We're already substantially cheaper than our competitors None of them currently have stock either.

According to the website page, neither do you any more .

What can I say? We managed to get a superb amount of stock (customers on here with shipping confirmations can confirm this too) thanks to some amazing efforts from Fatboy. We've priced them very fairly and as such sold all our stock very quickly.

Any eta on the Asus ATI Radeon HD 5870 also with the 2gb versions of the cards? Thanks
