Only R76 more than the Sapphire 6870 cost 2 months ago at the Esquire birthday special.

So yeah, really good price.

Oh crap!
I was just wondering if I should pop in another 6870 for a CF setup.
I just don't know if it's worth it anymore, micro stuttering and all that... eish, tough decision to make.

Which one would you guys take: the Gigabyte HD6870 OC (which has a custom PCB) or the MSI HD6870 Hawk?

Oh and Titan-Ice actually has the Club3D HD6870 OC, which has a slightly higher stock clock than these 2 for R1872: http://titan-ice.co.za/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=4998

hawk it does 1050 core in most reviews

why i got that one

I pre ordered a 6950 for around R1500 but have been waiting almost a month for stock and they reckon it might not be restocked by their supplier. I'm going to give it another couple weeks and then give up and go for something else. I was looking at the MSI nVidia GeForce GTX 560 Twin Frozr II OC - 1GB for R2200 but am I right in saying that that card is only marginally better than the hawk? Not enough to warrant the extra R400 in other words?

 

[dazzazzad]

Errr...R300 I mean.

yes is tad better then hawk, when hawk is oced at 1k core + its like a gtx 560 ti
