SAPPHIRE 5770 VAPOR-X 1024MB £126.99

Cool, its back - without getting into fanboy area, would this be as good as the GTX 260?

If it is standard 260 part then they would be fairly similar depending on the game. If it was my money though I would take the Vapor X as it is quiter and a better part being DX11.

Yes delays but they will on a flight tonight arriving Monday.

I bought this Sapphire ATI Radeon 5770 last week: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-216-SP&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1515

They're basically the same by the looks of it.

Vapor X is a specific type of cooler and the parts over clock better and are virtually silent.

 

[Fatboy]

One benefit would be you cannot hear it.
Have these gone down in price again

They have for a limited time only.

Fatboy,

As you can see earlier on in this thread I said I plan on getting a 5770 next month.

I have seen early reports from some people saying the 5770 cards don't work with PCI-E version one. Can you please advice?

I take it you are reffering to either a 4x or an 8 x Slot ? What motherboard do you have ?

 

[Fatboy]

Are these new stock eg the ones with the correct bios and do they still come with dirt 2?

They don't come with Dirt 2 any more and the stock has just arrived direct from Sapphire so I can only presume that they are the latest BIOS revision.

cheers fatboy...hm the age old question in my head 2 5770s or a 5870 hmmm dam it

Its a really hard question to be honest m8. In some games the dual set up of the 5770 is better and the 5870 in others. What resolution are you running at ?

 

[Fatboy]

Fatboy..i posted my specs in the 4870 thread,would i be able to run one of these cards with my enermax 475w psu?

cheers.

As long as it is compatible with your mobo should be fine.

Deliverd this morning.
So easy to install, slotted the three in there slots joined them together booted PC installed new drivers which picked up the crossfire job done.
Looking nice lined up next to each other, never knew they had a blue glowing 'S' logo on each of them very nice in the dark.
Thanks again

Excellent, thank you for your business

 

[Fatboy]

Fatboy. I think I need your salesman skills to talk my wife into letting me buy another one. That or I need to unsubscribe to this thread. ITS TAUNTING ME

You will buy one I am confident

 

[Fatboy]

For your info Fatboy

Overclockers.co.uk is displaying two different prices for the card

The side banner ad. under Amazing Deals is showing £126.99
If you click on the banner ad. it takes you to the items page showing £133.99

Being fixed as we speak thankyou.

 

[Fatboy]

Still not fixed

Still has the banner saying £126.99

It is now fixed. Thankyou

 

[Fatboy]

Nope still seeing it?

That's the image I mean.

Sorry now fixed

 

[Fatboy]

what is the correct price the adverts make it a tempting purchase but seeing a higher price in the basket leaves a bitter taste

Back to £126.99 but very very limited quantity available.

 

[Fatboy]

What's the TPD on these cards?

For crossfire would you need a minumum of a 600w power supply?

A good quality 600w unit should be fine no problems at all.

 

[Fatboy]

So very very tempting, i dunno. I'll probably end up thinking it over for too long only to find them out of stock

I would not hang about they are flying out at the moment.

 

[Fatboy]

Thanks again OCUK look forward to doing business again in the future

Thank you for your business and glad you are enjoying your card.
