having a bad night

first my comp keeps freezing up on me seem to have sorted that problem now.

so now the 4870 is winging like a cheap ***** think bearing has gone on the fan NOT HAPPY ONLY GOT IT 3RD DECEMBER
gonna take it back tommorrow if they don't have another in stock (which i doubt they will) i will get a refund of them.

what would be a good replacement for it i was thinking add £50 and get a 5770
or hold onto the cash use my old 2600xt to get me by until the 58** series cards come down in price.

HD5770 would be worthy I would have thought, a little faster than your current 70 not by much through

yeah looked at some benchies there is only 1-2 fps in the 2 cards but lower power consumption for same performance ain't bad at all IMO

Might look at the vapour-x like the look of them.

plus DX11 and run a lot cooler, and over clock a lot better

still on XP Pro but will be making the move to win 7 at some point soon
