OK sounds like a plan then

Thanks Richdog!

I just got a BFG 8800GT OC for £115, bargain of the century tbh

In MM?

I could send mine back and get a 8800gt OcUK brand i think?

You could do but they have a very short warranty... i'd always go for a BFG as cheap as I could find personally.

Ah good point

I'll send this back and get my money back then, I did mail them Friday to say I wasn't happy so I should be covered for the 7 day return

Cost me £125 as it was on a "this week only offer"

I put my 8800GT in the other day and can't believe how well it runs... COD 4 on max details at 16809*1050 with 4xAA is silky smooth and looks better than Crysis on High imo.

Oh yeah Crysis... don't expect it to run like anything other than crap at High detail unless you drop the resolution to 1440*900.

I would say pay the little extra and get the OcUK 8800GT but think you might have the same problem as some have been reported to have fans at %100 all the time.Pot luck i think as to which one is sent out.If you like the card maybe try get one with the blower cooler that i know %100 has fan control but a lot of people seem to dislike them.


PS.Yes something like that.

As i said before watch the OcUK model as some have the same fan as your 3870.
