£200? Jeesus, that's almost half price! Are you sure you've still got your left kidney?
He cannot be talking about the x2, unless he haggled over a borked card that had a voided warranty

Bit of a thread hijack
Im running a x1900xtx graphics card atm and think its time to upgrade. I use dual 20 inch monitors at 1650*1080 . Would the 4870 be able to power both monitors or would I be better getting the x2?
It will handle both screens as long as only one is gaming

I'm running 4850 here and 1920x1200 gaming is amazing. 4870 would be plenty for 20"
Aye I usually only game on one of the monitors the other is usually to watch films on or web browsing
Will the 512mb version be fine or would I be best waiting for 1gb?
512mb is more than enough
Cool
Now just to wait for payday. Bit worried about my PSU as its 580W but I have a pile of harddrives on it. This looks like an interesting option though http://www.microdirect.co.uk/(15895)...er-Supply.aspx
You sure that was the X2 lol? That's like the same price as a single GTX260 lol o.O^^ he on right track

is that a hyper? If so I'd just change it. Corsair is a good way to go, 520W would be plenty for that but you could go for a 650W TX which isn't bad for the money.Cool

You must be getting confused with the standard Asus 4870.^^ he on right track

I have not seen any Asus 4870X2 for sale in the UK yet. Most are Sapphire, Gigabyte and HIS.
Cheapest I have seen the 4870X2 is £320.
