At what sort of performance are we looking at with the 5850, -30% on 5870 there abouts?

Wizzfizz · 22 Sep 2009 at 20:04

Going to wait for the 5890 myself (whenever that comes about). There's some life yet in this 6800 Ultra.

I am in two minds now whether to buy my TJ07 or get one of these cards..

I hate decisions like this..

Playing the original Doom and Castle Wolfenstein 3D on DOS does not count.

what you running currently and in what

Well the TJ07 will certainly hold its value longer

Yamahahahahaha · 22 Sep 2009 at 20:13

Will the 5870 run CS?

Good god no! 120fps in QL is all I need.

i7 920 @ 4.2GHz
6GB Corsair Dominator 1600MHz
Gigabyte UD5
GTX280

Gaming at 1680x1050 on a Dell E228 WFP LCD, the reason I am planning to upgrade my case is because I am putting my CPU and GPU under water and my current case (TJ10) is going to be a PITA to build my loop in, whereas the TJ07 has got bags of room for fitting rads in the lower section as you will know already.

TBH I think I will probably still go with the case, as gurusan said it will hold its value longer than one of these cards.

I know the GTX280 will be more than capable for quite a while yet, but I like having new things to play with!!!

I guess the case is probably more important than a new card at the end of the day, and I have got all my WC gear to keep me happy for a while yet to.

::edit::

What was wrong with my sig, I made it the correct size!!!

400x75px??

Gotta agree with that, they've gone up since I bought mine.

I got mine in January 08 for £204, it's the black windowed version.

Most places it's £240 now, almost 2 years later. I'm pretty sure mine was a pricing error though, because literally a week later loads of stores had them at £260.

I wouldn't be surprised if I could sell mine for close to what I bought it for.

It's pristine and the only 'problem' is that it's dusty

Over 20kb?

I'd get the corsair 800D/TJ-07, your system is already plenty quick.

I am also fortunate enough to know the same person at ATI and received the same email as magic.

And before anyone calls be a liar I will post the proof because everyone knows screenshots are an infallible form of evidence that cannot be doctored....

TheGamingGeneral · 22 Sep 2009 at 20:22

Is it true that a certain OEM (wont name as am not sure its competition really) got 90% of the first batch?

Shedman · 22 Sep 2009 at 20:23

lol, nice try with the email

Now I know its fake, that was his day off.

DavyBoy · 22 Sep 2009 at 20:25

Hmmm, that's what it was, the file size was 32kb...

I spent ages making it to.

How can I make the file size smaller?

I already used pngcrush to get it down to the size it was.

Anyway, back on topic, I guess I will just stick with what I have got at the moment, and wait to see how everyone else gets on with their shiny new cards before I decide to upgrade my GPU..

Like you guys said, my current card is plenty fast enough.

Surely if it's an OEM, it's not competition?

Doesn't OcUK buy from OEMs anyway?
