sorry guys bit of a repost here but please read & give me some advice
& so the poll goes....
I just came off the phone from the dudes doing my RMA & UNFORTUNATELY it looks like i will be leaving this club as they didnt bother repairing my 4870, giving me the choice of a range of 5770's to choose from....
but its still not over yet....I know a mate whose after a new graphics card...& I know of 1 store that still holds 1 lonely 1gb 4870....but that store recently got refurbished - If i go pick up the 5770 then sell it to my mate at full RRP, I can pick up that 4870 if its still in the shop. but chances are it still being on the shelf is pretty low since the whole store got referbed.....even though the 5770 boasts DX11. I cant crossfire it with my remaining 4870 which means im losing performance & I currently dont have the funds to go 5850-5970way.
*deep sigh*
wish me luck,& if i dont make it back alive, tell spongebob i love him
dont think my mate wants to buy that card either as its already been RMA'd once (Ive had extremely bad luck with my 4870s) but I will see how it goes.
Im most possibly looking to trade for this Vapour-X 5770 but im not sure if they'd allow me to cuz obviously you gotta pay more for the Vapour X cooler, I do a lot of business with the store & have netted them quite a few sales in the past so hopefully they will be nice to me...
full list of which 5770's they currently have available is >HERE< hit me up on what seems to be the best one otherwise im still liking the vapour X
I just *DONT* want to lose that performance. 2x4870s perform around the same as 1 5870. but for the record the 5770 isnt one of the upgrade paths i would have considerd under any circumstances. but my hand has been forced here.... Either keep the 5770 & OC the tits off it & have it running as a single card for a while so i can upgrade to something bigger or... sell the 5770 at full RRP to a mate & get that 4870 if its still there & hang on for the ATi 6xxx series....
there are so many options I would like to keep my 4870s for the performance, DX11 doesnt really appeal to me that much yet since BC2 is the only game i play that uses DX11.
omg....I am so up shit creak at the moment
So lets say I do sell off the remaining 4870. I still wouldnt have enough to get another 5770. (unless someones selling cheap in the FS section) so its either
A) Sell the 5770@Full RRP & try to source up another 1gb 4870
b) Keep the 5770 & sell up the remaining 4870
C) F**k'em both! sell both n get something like a 5830 or 5850
& so the poll goes....
