Says the PowerColor is in stock on the product page, just not in the listing of them all.

Hmmmmm
 
Guys, whats better XFX warantee or Saphires Warantee and do they both come with DIRT II as i dont see anything about dirt II on the products page cause if the XFX is better ill need to get it changed lol


Sapphire comes with Dirt II for sure as well as Battlestations Pacifc, says on their website. Canny find owt about it on XFX's
 
I've emailed Ace Modder about the PowerColor HD5850's unless anyone wants to ring up and ask about them.
 
I need to ring up and ask what one has the better features LOL and warantee support as the XFX seems to have exclusive OCUK warantee support.

also enquire about DIRT II


Ask about the PowerColor HD5850s while you are at it.


I'm having to get into the shower to resist ordering. :D
 
I agree it's all about minimum framerates but the above statement is wrong. It doesnt matter how much cheaper ATI could have made the 5870 for, they would still charge $400 for it.


Indeed.


From a business point of view they have priced these great. When Nvidia brings out their new cards they can just drop the prices and release the HD5870X2 and wack Nvidia again.


I really want a HD5850 but can't justify buying one.
 
All that hype for a few cards that only just about win over all. I wont be buying one as I feel nvidia will pull this one back at some point

and the prices are stupid for ATI cards


And you think the new Nvidia cards won't be stupidly priced?



Work for me now, means I canny order a card which is good news. :D Play nice people.


Can we have a pool going to see how many & when ViRuS2k will RMA/DSR his cards please... :D
