I can't decide which 4870 1Gb I want. I'm limited to about R2600.

PCint:4870 2Gb Vapor X Cool R2506
Prophecy:Force3D 4870 1GB R2496
Wantitall special: Sapphire 4870 1GB R2300

Now, I can't decide which to go for on looks, performance and cooling. Cooling is more of issue, then looks(who doesn't like a good looking graphics card?:rolleyes:)

What do you guys think?
 
never heard of a 2GB 4870, heh....

1 sec.
 
cool!

Get the 2GB! Get the 2GB! Get the 2GB!

I got a sapphire X2 and when everybody said the thing is nuclear and would melt my mobo, it's running at a cool 61 Degrees (which is ice-cold for an X2!)

Sapphire's are grrrrrrreat!!

why is the thread title "Which 4870 1GB?" :confused:

Man, I can't believe the 4870X2's are standing at just over R4000....
Do you guys think I should Quadfire a pair when they dip to about R2500 ? worth it?
 
The 2Gb? Hmmm...I was reading somewhere that it doesn't perform as well as say the 4870 Toxic 1Gb. Out of the other 2, do you think the 2gb will make a big difference?
 
yeah, your right - seems like the toxic is the one to go for.

Here's a benchy for Crysis Warhead, at 1920x1080:

Ah....X2 is still sh1tting all over the place :D
 
Only problem about Toxic is that PCint doesn't have them anymore and I don't know if they will get anymore. Also, How do I go about odering with PCint? I don't see any online ordering?
 
Where do u see the saphirre 4870 1gb for 2300 on wantitall? I dont seem to find it.
