4870 is here!!

I think we'll see a price drop from Nvidia aswell...

The 4870 holds up against the 260...
 
But it cries like a little girl against the 280.

Too bad the 280 is sooo damn expensive :eek:
 
not really quik

its about 20% slower at half the price

put 2 of these 4870's in crossfire and it whips the 280gtx for cheaper

3.5k x 2 = 7k

cheapest gtx around 7.5k that i have seen
 
ITs a good time to be buying a new pc...

Im going to wait another month or so for prices to settle and then Im going to get a new rig :D

So far Im going with E8400/Q6600 and a HD4850
 
check my siggy - my 4850 arrives monday (Damn Typhoon in China delayed orders... what a waste of a weekend :D :D)

... next on my list is new RAM and a Q-Core Intel... but ill get those in a few months time i reckon... or maybe another 4850 to crossfire :D

... hmm... then im going to need a new PSU aswell... D@MNIT byeh byeh this month pay day money :D

Dude, the second that card (which you brag about but not yet have - all forgiven though :D ) lands and it's in your box, post a review please. I'm also ordering one but I won't be around for a week to collect and install so I'm hoping someone can give us some feedback on it.

Also, there are a couple of benchmarks posted on SS regarding this card and the 4850. I'll copy it to here if you guys are out of international bw.;)
 
it was supposed to arrive today so back-orders would be here for the weekend.. but the orders were delayed until Monday ftl :D

and yes, i am bragging but its only because im finally parting with my 8600 :D

I know it was supposed to arrive today bud. I'm also waiting for the weather to clear up (never thought I'd say that when referring to something electronic..) but good on you. Get the card, install it, drool, bench it, drool, post, drool.

In that order please.
