Yer i get sick of getting ripped off compared to everywhere else,why do they think its perfectly fine to charge us double and ignore the conversion rate

looks like an amazingly good deal tho.

Maybe Fr@nk will sell to Europe and ship internationally....

mrw1986 · Jun 1, 2008

Already knew about this for a week or so...connections within Best Buy. Definitely getting one for TriFire!

ElWapo973 · Jun 1, 2008

Great find. Wow this is a really really good deal. :respect:

Just for a few laughs, Newegg sells the stock(non-OC) version of this card for $193! LINK
If you try looking for something that might be cheaper with rebates(if you like waiting for weeks/months) the cheapest HD3870(GDDR4) on the egg is still 6 bucks more than this one(or $156 before rebate). LINK

I might just pick up a couple of these for my second rig. Crossfire for 260 bucks sheesh. :rockout:

niko084 · Jun 1, 2008

Just got my HD3870

Xfire!

Mussels · Jun 1, 2008

that is a nice deal. even as an Nv fan, i would go them.

kyle2020 · Jun 1, 2008

2340MHz overclocked core speed :O nice! does anyone know of a site like this for the UK?

Solaris17 · Jun 1, 2008

oh. I know of no stores in england that sell the sort of things i have to buy from places like ebuyer, novatech and overclockers. Its silly really.

mrw1986 · Jun 1, 2008

Question! Can I crossfire my 3870X2 with a 3870 with my Maximus Formula flashed to Rampage Formula? I've been looking and can't seem to find if I can do it!

Solaris17 · Jun 1, 2008

yes hybrid xfire only available in visa though

Yup, Vista only though.

@ kyle2020. Don't diss ebuyer etc. lol, I know there aren't any retail stores, but places like that are the life-blood of the PC industry in this country lol.

The only good etailers I know of that have shop fronts are Scan and Aria, and they are only in and around Manchester.

mullered07 · Jun 1, 2008

ccl has a retail store although you might not have used them there prices are ok, just about as ok as we get here anyway, £65 for a hd3870 thats a sick deal, damn overinflated uk prices :banghead:

FR@NK · Jun 1, 2008

I just read that Bestbuy will start carrying the HD4850 and HD4870 about 3 weeks from now. Pricing will be 199 and 299 and maybe cheaper when on sale. Both are 512MB cards, although I'm unsure if its the GDDR5 4870

niko084 · Jun 1, 2008

I would grab some for your UK guys, but the shipping would probably ruin the price

Kei · Jun 1, 2008

I think my decision was just made for me...looks like I might be picking up another 3870 this week? Then if the price gouging BestBuy is doing this I wonder how cheap everyone else (especially newegg) is gonna be soon.

Hard choice here...wait another ~2 weeks and see how the new cards do or just pick up a second 3870 in 2 days............

flclisgreat · Jun 1, 2008

id be willing to ship international if i had the cash to buy a few lol

Less a Fifty dollar gift card I couldn't resist... last one on the shelf... CFX with three GPU isn't to bad.. crippled on a P35 :slap:

Kei · Jun 4, 2008

Okay so the choice was made and I now finally have two redheads sitting inside my case.

What really made me go out and just get it (besides my brother oweing me $50) was that the same morning I got paid a coupon from BestBuy came in the mail for 12% off with that rewards zone card.

HD3870 for $129...minus 12%...minus $50...for $64 only a fool would say no

. And if I want I can of course still add another card to the box when the new ones come out.
