HD7870 is selling for around $350 in the USA. Our cards are very close in performance but I think yours is a little better. I like the 28nm power efficiency and the 2GB of VRAM. I don't like the price though.
Yeah but there aren't any cards out there with that kind of performance (GTX580 level) for £265 at the moment, the next step up for us is £335 and thats a 7950, which @ stock gets around 150 - 200 more P Score on 3D Mark. Below that theres the GTX570 which is old tech and I don't like the 1.2Gb of VRAM, it also performs significantly lower than the 7870.
The one mistake I made was not checking the forums before buying it, there was a GTX580 Lightning for sale in the UK for £270 which OC'd like a monster and wouldve got me a little extra performance.
