Ouch @ the price of the 7770 :eek:

I know about the 128-bit memory interface. IF the 7770 is on par with the 6850, Wow this should be a bargain
 
Unless the 7770 is faster then a 6870 it will be hard pushed to beat this for vaule for money. £90 and you get a 3 year warranty for gods sake, buy two and you gtx580 performance. This has to be one of best deals ocuk has ever had.

That's what I have done and flogged my 5850'S to mate for £165 not bad for a £15 upgrade. I wonder how far they clock ;)

would have liked a 2gb card(s) but at this price it's a bargin! And I don't plan on upgrading my monitor (22" 1080p) for some time and don't see the difference with AA
so 1gb sould be fine

You've sold 2 HD 5850's to replace them with 2 HD 6850's?

You'll have lower power consumption and a new warranty, which is worth the £15, but it's a side step in performance:

CF HD 5850 v CF HD 6850

yeh i realised that i originally brought them for him but i offered him my 5850's basically because of the lower power consumption (bout 50-100w less) and in the hope they oc well :). plus the 5850's are closely coming to the end of their warranty and i can see them dying just after it ends :P. plus i felt like a change ;)

Hi and welcome to the forum.

Not a lot from what I can see.

The V2 requires two 6 pin power connectors and the V1 only one 6 pin power connector (as do most HD 6850's).

Just guessing but perhaps that allows the V2 to overclock a little further.

Had a look around, and it seems that it can run happily on one 6 pin power connector. The second connector is for overclocking.

just about to buy 2 quick question do they come with a crossfire bridge?
Click to expand...

Well, according to Asus uk website, under Accessories: 1 x CrossFire cable - 2 x Power cable - 1 x DVI to D-Sub adaptor

They also show the dimensions as 10.24 " x 4.84 " but have been known to get these wrong before now!

Edit: missed some of the earlier posts... sorry!

I have a couple questions as this is my first Pre-order purchase from OcUK. If it is listed as pre-order does that mean they have sufficient stock so that if I order now, I will be one of the people who gets it when they start shipping, or is there the possibility that more people have pre-ordered than OcUK have stock for?

Also, the free DPD next day delivery lets me select the date of deliver, I can select from tomorrow onwards, but I assume I should select from release date onwards, so is it OK if I select deliver on the 20th, or can I not have it delivered on the same day as it's released?
