Gonna wait till 590 until I decide what I'm doing with 2nd build

£570 I reckon is the cheapest ASus, sapphire, will be more I think
The £570 is a bit extreme, unless it has some sort of trick up it's sleeve

Seriously, I mean, seriously? Hope you shopped that

I really didn't and all you have to do is load up the store front for yourself and see that it's right there at the price shown above.

High price brigade at it again.

The product is aimed at people who don't care about the price ^^

Well I got a measuring tape and compared it to my ATI 3870 X2 in my Antec 1200. I think I can fit it in there if Gibbo can provide the width of the card.

edit: sorry it was taken with my old iphone, I will resize in photobucket.

Omg to the price... Rumours weren't far off. Ah well I'll let the insane buy it first and pick it up when it goes down eventually

Your opinion doesn't count, because it's more of an angry ghetto kid screaming.
And I'm on about stock V.S stock.
And no stock 5970 set up will beat a stock 5870 Crossfire set up.

In *THOSE* set of results, you see them being stupidly close.

In *THESE* results, it shows the same story with more benchmarks

I was not talking about stock now was i?

An Angry ghetto kid screaming? What on earth are you on about? i have a feeling you dont like me for some reason?

EDIT:

Oh i see, Its because you purchased 2x 6870 thinking they were supposed to be good and now your all upset as they are actully crap

Probably. Too much new hardware released over the last few months to not get it.

Because you're an uneducated troll, with a lack of anything really..

Yes, I'm indeed upset about my 6870 Crossfire, how on Earth did you catch me?

I had a 5970, I sold it and went to a 6870 Crossfire, because my 5970 was XFX, and was second hand, I'd have been screwed.

It's what he is.
Erm, I don't have any XFX hate. In the UK they won't deal with consumers directly, if the card's second hand, you're screwed.

Cleeecooo · 7 Mar 2011 at 22:17

Ok fair ebough in your case.
I think that maybe his comment may not have been correctly interpreted by you. If he uaed facts then i see nothing wron with it. From what i read he did justify himself.

Its Ok mate, I dont take it to heart. I have said something to hurt your feelings it seems.

If i was uneducated i wouldnt be doing a degree in robotics now would i?
