**HIS 7850 ICEQ X PRE-ORDER DEAL!**

Just sent a quick webnote (I say quick, it was quite long to be honest lol), asking to change the order to the sapphire. I provided them with some details i'm hoping they can just cross check so they don't need to call me (as i am in training all day and want the PC on Tuesday!)

Fingers crossed!!!
 
Is there much difference between the his and sapphire? Price appears to be the only thing but I'm no gpu expert so some advice would be cool as I may switch my order.

From what I have read pal the temps are basically the same as the reference card, but the noise level is near silent rather than turbine lol.

cheers mate, think I'll ring OCUK in a bit and have a chat, thing is they've already taken the money for the HIS out of my account and I can find the Sapphire 7850 cheaper elsewhere so hope we can come to some agreement :)
 
Very helpful staff, switched the 10% discount over and added Saturday delivery for the Sapphire at just over £21 extra...Jobe Done!

Just remember that it has already been mentioned here that Sapphire's RMA isn't the greatest, and that Gibbo has mentioned that OcUK will deal with the RMA for you if you wish to send it through to them. Check whether the cheaper etailer does this, as I very much doubt it. If you're talking cheaper by a few £'s, it might be easier in the long run to just order it from OcUK, especially with the free delivery as well :)
 
yeah already ordered with OcUK now anyway, if theres problems with it I'll worry about that then not now. Just noticed its only got one Display Port on it though so need to figure out how to get two running with what cables I've currently got laying around the place hehe!

Ah good stuff, glad you got it sorted :)

With the delay of the HIS, I've decided to stick with my MSI Twin Frozr IV pre-order. I just hope they come in within the next week or two. Ideally I'd like it before Diablo III, but if it arrives after the release, I'll at least be able to see the real-world difference it will make over my 4870 1GB with my Q6600 :)

I rang up as Ive pre'd a MSI Twin Frozr too ... they are hoping to have stock tues/wed next week ...fingers crossed
 
Bit annoyed with this as wasn't announced on the forums till gone 5 that stock was delayed so had no chance to order for delivery today :(

Will stick with the HIS though due to price although you can get the Asus model for under £190 so as I have next thursday off if still not showing by tues/weds as in and ready to deliver I will be cancelling and ordering with someone else!
 
Gibbo can you see what's missing?

There is one PCIE connector waiting to be connected. :(
