Replacing a dodgy 5870.

. That was the issue I had, didnt notice they were green though.

I'll have a look at the 560's.

I wonder how much they could give me credit for, as I say, I paid £320 and my card is a higher spec than the xfx, how would they work it out?

No point in speculating.

You'll only end up disappointed.

You'll find out when you speak to then tomorrow.

See what they offer and if you're uncertain what to do then tell them you'll think about it.
 
Update!

I spoke to overclockers today and they did offer me the XFX 5870 to replace my old powercolor, to which I said 'no' due to it being a lower spec than my old card. They would also not let me add extra money to the value of the XFX 5870 to get something higher spec. They said they received £89.99 credit from powercolor and if I was to buy something else I could probably have that money off. I pointed out that the my previous card was faulty and I had paid them £320 for it and I wasnt going to accept £89.99 credit. I asked whether I could have the 6950 1 gig card as an equivalent card and they agreed. So I have a XFX ATI Radeon 6950 XXX on its way to me now.

All this was conducted in nice positive tones and all in all I think I am happy with it.

Now, will I be able to flash it to a 6970, that remains to be seen. Any ideas?
