which should i buy

4870x2 £249.99

or wait for the hd5870 ?

Dan.m · 21 Sep 2009 at 17:37

Just wait for the 5870, see prices and benchmarks, then decide.

antipacker · 21 Sep 2009 at 17:38

roughly the 5870 cost ?

hyperst · 21 Sep 2009 at 19:07

also i would wait and see, i dont think any ati card is worth it at moment as the recent games like nfss is suffering badly, lets hope ati can get this fixed or i will be jumping ship soon

might get the 4870x2 then sell it once the 5870 has made its stamp

D1ngd0ng · 21 Sep 2009 at 19:21

Is it still possible to source a 4870x2 or are you buying 2nd hand?

antipacker · 21 Sep 2009 at 19:25

****** has them for £249

magicroundabout · 21 Sep 2009 at 19:26

wait 2 days that is all.

approximate price = £280

antipacker · 21 Sep 2009 at 19:30

who is selling them ?

D1ngd0ng · 21 Sep 2009 at 19:30

if you look closely you will likely see that they are out of stock - and they wont be back in stock as ATI stopped producing them months ago

antipacker · 21 Sep 2009 at 19:32

who is selling the 5870 ?

magicroundabout · 21 Sep 2009 at 19:32

hyperst · 21 Sep 2009 at 19:33

5870, no one selling yet as they get released supposedly 23/09/09
just a heads up antipacker, you may want to reduce your sig to four lines, theres a sticky somewhere about it

Honestly i'd just wait untill the new ati gpus come out and then base your decision on that. Usually i'd say buy to meet your needs now, but in this instance the new cards look very good and will be released very soon.

antipacker · 21 Sep 2009 at 19:45

is it defo the 23rd ?

magicroundabout · 21 Sep 2009 at 19:45

from my source yes

antipacker · 21 Sep 2009 at 20:54

listen....reduce the line's in your sig or have a free holiday.

research and you will see the new ati card's coming out this week.

and why do you need a new card ?

and to be really honest...is it so much of a "big big dilema" that you get a card ?

to put it more "politely" i think hes trying to say use the search...also google is great stuff, look at some benches (prefrably when the new cards come out and have been tested) and decide for yourself based on your own restrictions and prefrences etc (e.g. price / overclockability etc...)

personaly im waiting for prices to drop and gonna get me 2 http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-209-AS and overclock them quite a bit (hopefully)
...that is if the new cards dont blow my mind right out of my skull
