[WTB][EU] [UK] 4870x2

[antuk15]

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]

Panther had one for sale check him out bud

 

[scaminatrix]

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.

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.

gl with one for under 100.

gl with one for under 100.

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

 

[2DividedbyZero]

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

and my XFX = lifetime warranty

 

[scaminatrix]

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]

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

 

[Marineborn]

Hmmmm how much for 2gb 5850 toxics?

 

[2DividedbyZero]

m8, why even come here if you gonna flash links at us, just buy the freakin thing

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

gl with your purchase

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

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?

Scammer is right i had one of these sitting down on my drawer.

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.

Spoiler: To elaborate:

Person A bought an XFX card for £400 in 2009. He RMA'ed it in January 2011. XFX said all he could have was a card worth £200, or £200 off of a new card (the card he first bought wasn't in production/stock anymore), and was told "the deduction (of £200's worth of card) was to reflect the amount of time he owned the card".*
I don't want to turn this into an XFX rant thread, but I just want it to be made aware: XFX's Lifetime Warranty (in the EU) isn't even as good as a Sapphire 3 Year Warranty (where they will give you a full value refund/exchange within 3 years of it dying).
Don't buy XFX just because of the lifetime warranty, buy it because it fits your criteria in other areas too.
*I'll dig up sorces soon

Scammer is right i had one of these sitting down on my drawer.

What did you do with it in the end?
