worth getting a 5870??

[gilljoy]

Ok with the upcoming release of the gtx570 (tommorow apparently)

and the eventual release of the 69xx series is it worth upgrading from my 4850 512mb to a 5870 from overclockers?

or better to hold off a few more days?

Depends on your budget.

 

[gilljoy]

budget is around £300 ish

 

[Mr Krugga]

I would wait.

 

[Penfold99]

what about a budget of £200?

 

[Mr Krugga]

GeForce GTX470 for £180 or Radeon 6870 for £170 ish. Unless you want to wait for GTX560.

For £200.00 ono, your looking at Nvidias GTX 470 or for a wee bit more money, ATI 6870. There are more expensive 470's, but theese are fitted with better cooling solutions than reference cooled cards.
