XFX 5870 has come down even more in price.
£234.99
Damn, payed nearly a ton more than that only a few months back. What a bargain. Might have to crossfire.

Hi Gibbo,
I purchased a ST31500541AS harddrive described as an "unused drive out of a non os PC". The drive that you sold me has been formatted and has a disk label "Iomega", has 27 power on hours and 17 power on cycles. These really should be sold as 'B' grade stock.
Edit: also, as the drive has an 'Iomega' disk label I wouldn't have thought that it has come out of an "un-used none O.S. PC" but more like an external drive (that has been used, but returned for some reason?)

Indeedy a tremendous price.
The XFX 5870 is a good investment and scales very well in CFX, just outperforming the 5970 upto 1920x1080. The 5970 is a better performer past 1920x1200 onwards to 2560x1600, or eyefinity. Either way, the card gives you plenty of choices. At the peak, the 5870 was price nearer £360, that's what tipped me to get the 5970 for £100 more. The 5970 hasn't budge in price which could be down to how popular it is still, and on guru3d it outperforms even the new 580 which I did consider holding out for.
