I ordered the:

Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 3870 XT 512MB GDDR4 TV-Out/Dual DVI/HDMI (PCI-Express) - Retail

On friday for saturday delivery and have received what looks like a

Sapphire HD 3870. The fan looks totally different to the way it does pictured on overclockers website and there is no indication anywhere that the model is an XT. The lables on the back and front of the card all say HD 3870.

However I just checked sapphires website and it shows a the same card as displayed on overclockers and looks totally different from the one I recieved this morning.

This is what I ordered:

Can someone advise? I can accept that they changed the look of the cooler recently but it dosnt say anywhere on the box or the card that is the XT model. Then again on the box shown on the OCUK picture it dosnt say either. Whats up!?!?!?
 
I love you mate - so why does it say nowhere that its the XT model?

When I got my 2900XT it was plastered all over the place!
 
Im installing the drivers now... ocuk need to update their page tbh. The card hasnt come with any of these magical free games or software - just a driver disk
 
What can I say? Thankyou so much guys! :p I didn't realize I was so much of a noob but oh my Gears of War runs at a solid 60fps and comparing that to my 2900XT it ran about 40!
