*****UK's Best Price & Staggering DEAL - ATI HD 5870 £179.99 Delivered!*****

Really is a toss up between a GTX 470 and this for me. Both at around 190 pounds, so that's a damn close tie. For some reason I just don't trust the whole "we're selling cheap because we're nice" thing, and there's no reason a 5870 couldn't still sell at 250+ even after the new 6XXX series is finished, since they don't make the existing cards any worse.
Either I'd be better off with a quality EVGA Nvidia than this, or 5870 prices are about to take a serious nose dive after the holidays. That's my wager at least.

Hard to say.

The games make the XFX better value, Dirt 2 and AVP and its only £10 more.


But both have 2yr warranty.

However the VTX card is quieter, due to larger diameter fan. :)

Is the warranty with the VTX with you for the whole duration of the warranty or with them for the second year? I can't even find a website for their products!

But Gibbo, doesn't the Xfx have an Ocuk Premium Priority 2yr Warranty which surely gives it a big advantage. I'm surprised Ocuk dont push this 'premium' warranty more than they do.:confused:

I'd be all over that Xfx 5870 if I hadn't recently bought a 470 from you.:D
 
I'm tempted but i know a 580gtx will be better for me in the long run and last night i got my 4870x2 running metro on 1 setting down from max with AAA running it super smooth so i'm actually quite happy now:(

The VTX also has 2yr warranty which OcUK look after too, so both the same. :)

Thats rubbish!

I have 6950 and 6970 stock shipping and I've paid for it.

I can tell you now the pricing will be:-

6950 @ £270 - £300 Inc. VAT
6970 @ £360 - £400 inc. VAT

I have lots en-route.

Now the 5870's are sub £200, thats £100 cheaper than a 6950 and same price as a 6870.

People will and are buying 5870's now they are sub £200 because at sub £200 there is no faster card. :)

5870 won't be going £150 or lower, what would be the point, as then 6850/6870 would not sell.

Plus if you think 69xx cards are gonna be £200 then think again and look at my pricing above, again use common sense, why would 6950 be same price as a 6870?

6950 competes with GTX 570/480 and is priced similar.
6970 competes with GTX 580 and is priced similar.
