Prash · Dec 11, 2008

@lucasweir: i am getting the sapphire card for the same price. I hope it has lot of gains with the new drivers

Skywalker12345 · Dec 11, 2008

erocker · Dec 11, 2008

It's a ridiculous card anyways. It's 2gb's of GDDR3 limited by a 256 bit bus. The 1gb of GDDR5 on a 256 bit bus is not restricted on the 4870 and is a much better buy.

Agreed

yea true I may change my whole upgrade thoughts now, I was kinda looking to the 2gb, but I guess its a joke. wonder what crossfire would have brought with 2gb though probably not much.

Skywalker12345 · Dec 11, 2008

yea 2GB isnt needed yet unless you have crazy resolutions

This is true I'm looking to upgrade to either 2 4850 1gb's single slots, or just add another 4850 at 512mb, Actually I got another one I'm thinking about but that may cost too much

Skywalker12345 · Dec 11, 2008

i would go with another 512MB then youll have a 1GB and you have crossfire

Aceman.au · Dec 11, 2008

I should get it today... I'll tell you how it is if I get it... (Thats if Im not testing it in games)

Prash · Dec 12, 2008

Hi all. I ordered my card yesterday!!

Guess what, i was sure about buying 4870 1GB at $239.9. But...the elusive but....i changed my decision at the last moment, and guess what, i am going to the greener side instead of the red side...... :eek:

Yup, i ordered a standard EVGA GTX 260/216 core for a drool price

I got it from here http://www.ewiz.com/detail.php?p=EV...822ca68bfc4e7d951659e607755e023e6e9c0b46027f4

The price was and still is: $202.91 + $14.03 (US Shipping to NY) + $0 (NY Tax) = $ 216.94

And then a friend of mine at US is shipping it to India.
