Going to get the 6870 at 10pm, just wondering what should I get?What one will have better temps and what is the customer support like for both of these companies?

Easy mistake, but still looking for an answer.

2 year warranty with Sapphire, one year with HIS.

AFAIK initial 6870's all have the the same reference cooler on so pick whichever card you fancy, my preference would be sapphire.

Going for his as it includes mw2.

They are out btw

rjk · 21 Oct 2010 at 21:52

as i said

his now extended to 2 year warranty

Can someone measure up the 6870, just wanna check It can fit, I guess 30cm will be enough?

Yeah just choose counter collect, if thats not available then call sales 9am to get one reserved, we have plenty of 6870 to go round though.

28 HIS sold now.
