[WTB][EU] [UK] 4870x2

antuk15 · Apr 9, 2011, 01:11 PM

Looking for one of old bad boys

Found a refurbed one for £100 with 6 months warranty but If anyone wants to let one go cheaper then I'm game.

PM me if you have one

Kovoet · Apr 9, 2011, 01:35 PM

Panther had one for sale check him out bud

scaminatrix · Apr 9, 2011, 01:56 PM

I do believe HUSKIE had one too, but I think him and panther trade a bit, so it may be the same one

They might be able to track it down for you.
Thinking about it, HUSKIE wanted me to buy one for him off eBay, he was prepared to pay £125 for it (with aftermarket cooler), so £100 with 6 months warranty is a good deal IMO.

MoonPig · Apr 9, 2011, 02:13 PM

Panther doesn't have one. His work does.

Nice looking card but anything over £100 and you're looking into used 5850 prices.

With latest drivers the 5850 is faster, overclockers better and has DX11

So £100 or less really is my highest

I know these things cost a fortune when they released but that was over 2 years ago now.

2DividedbyZero · Apr 9, 2011, 02:29 PM

gl with one for under 100.

As I said in my OP, found one on amazon for under £100

2DividedbyZero · Apr 9, 2011, 02:33 PM

i don't mean the price, i mean the card

and my XFX = lifetime warranty

scaminatrix · Apr 9, 2011, 02:37 PM

I would say get the 4870x2 for £100 (that's probably the best deal that you'll see around, but you'll be lucky if they're in stock) but really, there's newer, cooler, more efficient GPU's out now.

2/0: Have you seen what people in the UK have had happen to them over "XFX's lifetime warranty"? People have RMA'ed a card that's 2 years old that they paid £400 for, only to be told "here is £200, we have taken a sum off of the refund to reflect the amount of time you have owned the card." XFX's lifetime warranty is a rip-off, until I'm proven otherwise.

Don't go with XFX just for their lifetime warranty, or you may come unstuck.

heres the thing if you want a 4870x2 so bad your gonna pay for it, and in most benchmarkes the 4870x2 inches out the 5850 and even the 5870, and like my version which is a super cooled overlcocked version it makes a bigger diffrence, at higher resolutions with more options such as AA max and 16xaf the 4870x2 proves its worth

you can go ahead and look at the comparison yourself and dont start shoving drivers in my face they make a diffrence but not 70fps diffrence

From what I'm seeing it's slower in newer games that push hardware.

And have you seen the results of new drivers?

The cards no longer top dog, A 1Ghz core 5850 would muller it.

2DividedbyZero · Apr 9, 2011, 02:44 PM

hes not looking for a 5850 otherwise we wouldn't even be in this thread

Marineborn · Apr 9, 2011, 02:44 PM

then i advise you to buy some 5850's i have 2 5850 toxics sitting on the desk in front of me, while im running 2 6870 toxics in my motharboard, 5850's are nice i wont diss them but i do enjoy my 6870's and when i had my 4870x2 that thing would crush games

Why?

Because looking at it people need to get it into there heads that hardware is worth less then they think.

A 4870x2 in decent condition with a box is worth £100 at most and they seem to be going around that on Ebay.

And yet I get people telling me other wise and posting ebay links to cards that want more then that?

The thread was simple, If you have a 4870x2 that you would like to sell for £100 then PM me.

Instead I get loads of people thread crapping

You may want to clean up here, gentlemen/ladies.

READ BEFORE POSTING!! The Rules of this Forum

No links to auctions or other sites. (No Ebay links)

Don't do these things in FS/FT threads:
1) Argue over whether prices are fair, or...
2) ...say that something else is cheaper elsewhere.
3) Argue with other members.
4) Negotiate the price of an item you want to buy. This should be done through private messages.

Oh Oh, a mussels is in the pond!

ebay links are regarding the OP WTB or FS are they not?

there is no arguing over price in this thread

there is no price negotiating

what needs to be cleaned up?

I think you read my post wrong:
People have RMA'ed a card that's 2 years old that they paid £400 for 2 years ago, only to be told "here is £200, we have taken a sum off of the refund to reflect the amount of time you have owned and used the card."

I don't know where you got "less than 200" from lol? I don't mean the 4870X2, I mean XFX cards in general.

To elaborate:
