What GPU to buy?

I have R3k and don't know what to buy...

Can get a 5870 @ R2k and GTX480 @ R2800, both 2nd hand.
I can't get stock of AMD 6950s...
Also on the cards, 2x 6850 @ R3k, also 2nd hand, excl postage. Thing is, these cards are R1750 new... So not really a score...

What else?

Another 460?

LoL, it's actually not for me. How about your GTX580?

5870@2k is really a heckuva bargain - is that on Carbonite?

Or you could get an MSI GTX570 for r2900 inc@Pinnacle or a (Club3d I think)GTX570 for r2500 if you have access to Sonicinformed.

Yes, it is.

GTX570 @ R2500 is the one I would go for, but like you said, I don't have access.

Sorry she's very happy where she is.

The 480 sounds pretty cheap though... afterall the 580 is just the GTi version of the 480.

+1 If you can get your hands on a GTX570 that would be your best option in my opinion.

Just found out now, it's a mate of mine selling the 5870, so going for that. Stoopid internet anonymity.

 

[cerebus]

Yeah that's a pretty killer price.
