£590 for the Sapphire, ridiculous.

P.s. Love the typo:

no card more powerful in existance on the planter

danewesley · 8 Mar 2011 at 00:07

Haven't bothered checking yet but things like RMA and guarantees?

You might like red better than fuzzy blue? :confused:

JW1993 · 8 Mar 2011 at 00:11

I checked garuntees, both the same, but I'm not sure on the RMA reputations of either

The cards are exactly the same clock for clock

How much was the 5970 on release?

Hotwired · 8 Mar 2011 at 00:16

3.5% more because its red

Was the same scenario ... limited stock (not helped by the factory messing up the orders at the time). Trickle release, false demand.

Buy one if you want one and if you can afford it. I've wanted an upgrade for a good few months now, so I did buy one.

If I bought one, I'd be left with burger all.

shogun32 · 8 Mar 2011 at 01:53

I have just bought a 580 wish i had waited.

You say that as if Crysis 3 would be harder to run.

You have seen how much easier it is to run Crysis 2 than Crysis haven't you?

TBH, no. My current PC struggles to get 30fps in Minesweeper.

This will replace my current sig.

Just read up some reviews of this card and it only seems worth it if you run at ridiculous res or use eyefinity on 3 30" monitors. At lower res like 1920 x 1080 it doesnt appear to have that much benifit. Wait and see what the green company releases i spose.
