Sapphire HD 4870 RETAIL

[Scroffy]

Anyone know where I can get the full RETAIL version of this card?
Most vendors seem to have the 'Lite' version.

Hope you can help.

Not likely in this country, sorry.

Hmmm, ok thanks for the info.

Any recommendations as to which 4870 to go for then?
it seems Sapphire have a pretty good reputation?

They're all identical at the moment so have a look at the warranty and support. Sapphire support have been fine with me (not that I've had to use it for technical support, but they were prompt at replying to a query I think). I also quite like their minimal packaging as it's easier to fit in the cupboard

However if I was going for one now I'd be tempted to go for the powercolour one as that seems to come with powerDVD which is missing from Sapphire and I could do with another copy.

OK I'll check out the Powercolour version.
Thanks for the help.
