At the moment Im running a Radeon X1950 256mb card.. and its been working fine for the past year and I love it. But over past 6 months games have got bigger and better and I want to upgrade to turn my GTAIV and FC2 into pure sex!

I had a look at over clockers and found this nice card:

Powercolor ATI Radeon HD 4870 1024MB GDDR5 TV-Out/Dual DVI/HDMI @ £206

as I went to buy it I noticed OC does finance on some items.... interestfree for 1 year.

So after looking around I found the best of the best

Gainward ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2 "Rampage GLH" 2048MB GDDR5 @ £482




The thing is im stuck... do I get the best of the best as I dont need to pay for a year, but I know the price of the card with drop at least £100 once the next model comes out.

Or dont be silly, and the £206 will be fine.

If you can already play your games fine, then £206 is an insane price just to make them look nicer. You can get a fucking XBox with GTA4 for that.

it plays the game ok, but everything is no low... I want to max it.. I dont mind paying £206... its a question of paying £500.

plus GTA are always best on pc.. and that not me saying cuz I play PC... even all the review websites said PC is the best as you can max out the game and make it look better that PS3.


fuck it I think im gana go and order the £206 one now as a little xmas box to myself

Aria, Ebuyer or Dabs would be your best bet.

All very reliable.

I've already snapped it up for OC, as its on offer today. Also every time I've got stuff from them they have got it to me next day... so I think I should have it in my hands on tuesday.

I know I could shop around, but fuck it... its done... its on its way...... and I cant wait!

I used to use ebuyer all the time, but I have a local computer store that are dirt cheap... I checked them out but they didnt have this card.
