Yeah I would keep sleeping dogs maybe need to ask what it's like as I don't know anyone?

So is it to be the 7850 or 7870?
Will I see a difference from my 6850 to the point of being worth it?
Or should I wait for the next cards? However long that is..lol
Sorry for the constant questions just excited as on the brink of ordering but don't know what I should go for wanna try and get in before postal cut off is it 4 or?

Well given that is only 2 days until the GTX 660 comes out I would be tempted to see what they are like before spending £160.

They are looking pretty tempting according to leaks:

hmmm so could be worth waiting then,may just do that i have been swayed by the 7870 i think over the 7850 after reading reviews the hawk seems to be a bit more oc able but he gigabyte cools a lot more efficently 50c under load compared to 68c on the hawk gotta say i like the look of the power gimmicky thing on the back does this come with it or do u have to buy it seperatly? if so does anyone know how much?

when are the new nivdia cards released? any day now or?
 
Very interested to see how they perform, $229-$249 retail in US apparently, probably £189 here i'd say, then drop down to the £170 mark once they have settled.

Shame they can't make them compete around the £160-£170 mark as they seem to perform better than the 7850 and around 7870 level after reading a review through. That would get them back into the game for mid range market share.
 
well going to wait now as the cards i wanted have come off of offer so will see what nividia produce and maybe let the market settle see how my patience holds out.....
when is the new card released?

its £224.99 and with the deals over is only £10 more than the msi hawk

whats HIS like rma,reliability, would i be able oc this model or?
and would it even fit in my case i have a antec 300
or is this just overkill as i only play at 1920x1080 on one screen?

I would still go for the hawk as can easily be flashed :d via the bios switch which a lot of card's don't have and it's MSI, + i've been having a ball playing BF3 all on Ultra @1080 so all good there for me, my next upgrade will be the 8core Bulldozer as it's cheap as hell the now.
