However my new computer is en route and should be here in a few days. It has 2 5870's so I am anxious to see what it can do. Just a basic setup, as I am a realist when I spend money, what I want is not always what I buy. Ooh, I'm running a single Sapphire 5870 at the mo, dunno whether to get a second one and crossfire or buy a 5970 instead (going for the 5970 means I can put the 5870 in my second rig). Please post what you think of it when you've had a play, cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor. Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Woot i thought it over and i bought the gtx470 woot, can't wait to get that awesome card running, note i will go sli on it.

Marthos Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Looks good. Looking forward to hearing what those 2 5870's can knock out. Just finished fitting a Coolermaster V8 CPU cooler in my gaming rig, looks like the engine block out of a Chevy squatting on my mobo, the 5870 doesn't look quite so huge now.

AlphaFireWolf Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 I have a 9800GT super-clocked that I got from newegg. I got it for around $80-90 and I am really happy with its performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
