is Dirt2 powercolor edition a voucher or retail game, can you take the voucher and redeem it in a shop, or sell it on - if its not retail its pretty useless to me because my internet usage is limted

That to I think yes.

The Gigabyte has a 3 year too.

I wonder if the ASUS software will work on other cards *whistles*

At the moment they are all reference cards, so [AFAIK] a quick BIOS flash to the ASUS card software on any other should allow it.

Don't quote me on that though

If you flash it to the Asus firmware... yes, I personally just run the both my asus at MAX voltage (1.45V) because I can without worries of it blowing up... and even if it does I get a shiny new upgraded card

 

[toon_mad]

why the need for voltmods, so you can increase the cards voltage and overclock more??

I know that you 100% definately get it with the Powercolor Dirt2 Edition I am waiting to see what is in the others.

Ok, keep us posted.

Order Number: OC884393

Rang up today to ask for the first/soonest 5870 that comes into stock, and was told the Gigabyte would be soonest. I'm still "In the warehouse queue" and I've noticed that there are two PowerColors in stock, but still no Gigabytes. Do you reckon they'll take the initiative to send me the PowerColor instead? Or have the Gigabytes already been sent out?

Oh my God! I rang them; and it turns out that they didn't send me the soonest card... so now, after 6+ emails and two phone calls I'm still not getting a card Monday despite being one of the first to order on Wednesday. If I don't have the card by Tuesday I'm going to have to cancel the order, and can't see myself making another one from OcUK in the foreseeable future. They have really messed me around.

Indeed, there are other e-tailers with stock if one can be bothered to look, some of them actually have real time stock numbers as well.

If I ordered and found out there was no more stock id just cancel and go elsewhere.

I tried to be loyal to a company that previously had served me well in the past. I have now looked elsewhere and will have it Monday! Woot!

If i had seen your post I would have changed your over for a powercolor. Sorry you had to cancel.

Not sure with the Powercolor but my XFX one is a Steam Download code.
