OK guys im gonna try and answer another question here to take everyones mind off tomorrow!!
I currently use a 3 monitor setup using SoftTh and I am looking to upgrade, so will the 1gb version still run 3 monitors ok (5040 x 1050) and if so will I NEED a monitor with a displayport?
Thanks in advance guys and gals

You will be fine with the normal config version, 2 dvi, 1 dp, 1 hdmi. So you can either get an adapter for the dp port or hdmi port. Hdmi/dvi adapters are very common now and will probably come bundled with one at least.
I thought they all suported Eyefinity

What I saw said that you need to connect one of the monitors with DisplayPort to use three monitors on the 1GB edition. Two on DVI and one on DisplayPort, certainly that's what I plan on doing.

I don't really hold with that !, it's called business, No one ever thinks about what these company's lose when the stock goes EOL It cannot all be returned to the distributors , If You cut deals and make extra efforts to procure early stock You have to "make hey while the Sun shines"
The consumer is not in anyway forced to pay a premium
What on earth has EOL got to do with it? The 5870 isn't going to go EOL any time soon.
The 5870 will be in good supply by the end of October I reckon at the latest, you honestly reckon they'll drop the price to £250 just because supply is good? Of course they won't, as long as people keep buying them at £300/£320/whatever they'll keep selling at that.

I was speaking to whoever said that the "4850 and 4870 were slower and less feature packed than their NVidia counterparts." They patently weren't.

Damn it, I've run out of popcorn............nobody post till I get back from the shop.
Old GFX cards that were a few months previous "new/Current" go end of line or worthless
Hey, listen, I'm not supporting or defending anyone here, just explaining the way retailing is
