£145.99, cheaper than a 512MB HD4870, the site does not specify if these are re-furbished or OEM products but it's of no real matter as they come with 1 years warranty in any case. I have used this shop before without any problems and shipping charges are quite good, I think I paid £5.99 for 48 hour delivery......enjoy!

Ohhhh and they take paypal!

It says upto 216 SP, so that says to me you could get the 192 or 216 SP version.
I reckon it is that cheap cus they are clearing 65nm 192SP stock, and if you complain they will point towards the word upto.
Still I would rather spend another £30 and get one that is definetly brand new retail.

Sorry not to say anything positive, just what I noticed. Great deal if you get a 216SP that is new tho.

Click to expand...

You may be right, my nextdoor neighbour has just got two that he bought that arrived yesterday to re-sell on E Bay, they were 216SP cards in sealed un-opened boxes! Of Course perhaps he was lucky, in my experience however, I would prefer the 192 because they generally overclock much better ;)

I hear what you are saying about the new stock but even today I think there are still a couple of manufacturers that dont offer much better than a 1 year warranty for new products, at the end of the day, if the card is going to go wrong it will do so in the first year anyways, and if it was over a year before it went wrong I would just RMA direct to XFX under their "lifetime warranty" as opposed to the shop under their 1 year.

I wouldn't go near XFX with somebody elses 1000ft barge pole.. terrible company for quite a few reasons. 1yr warranty is also pants when you compare it to the 2 year warrenty offered by XFX on their 4850 cards. Still doesn't excuse their a bad company though :p

Where did you sneak in from! :) Long time no see..........The 1 year warranty isnt XFX it's the shops, for many NVidia products XFX provide a lifetime warranty, I only tend to buy XFX or Palit (Read Gainward also as a subsidery of theirs) these days purely because I have never had a failure with either on the Gfx card front, I did have an XFX 790i Ultra motherboard though that failed, I RMA'd it direct to XFX, they had it collected from my house by a courier and 8 days later a brand new one arrived with a £25 discount voucher for my next XFX product :D
