Oooh! Just dont buy from overclockers, if you need to ever RMA something then its probably easier to buy all the tools, do a degree then fix it yourself...
I'm never touching them again.
Re: First looks - ATI Radeon HD 4850 exposed: we take a first look

I just want to make sure everybody knows :)
Re: First looks - ATI Radeon HD 4850 exposed: we take a first look
Hmm, if the 4870 proves to be comparible with the GTX260 at a cheaper price then I may well be tempted. Nice to see that nVidia sees this new ATi card as a threat rather than them dossing around for the past few months. May well prove to be an apt upgrade for my aging 8800GTS.

They have to be first or they wouldn't get any sales ;)
Re: First looks - ATI Radeon HD 4850 exposed: we take a first look
I've removed the benchmark numbers until they can be verified again; the Radeon HD 4850 was scoring a little too low.
Re: First looks - ATI Radeon HD 4850 exposed: we take a first look
any chance of linux drivers this year? gt200 drivers are already available, same day as windows, as per usual

Pretty sure the driver CD has linux drivers on it aswell for these cards now. :)

until i see it, i assume it doesn't exist. especially where ATI are involved. they generally take 6-12 months to support new hardware on linux
and there's obviously nothing on ati.com
perhaps Tarinder has access to something - i only have backdoor credentials for nvidia.com
Re: First looks - ATI Radeon HD 4850 exposed: we take a first look
£125 seems FAR too cheap for a card of this performance?

Ill have a look.

Jesus christ, this looks beyond promising =]
I hope these prices stay true :)

Aaah overclockers - A forum i was banned from for saying their RMA procedures were plain lousy (And i was a 1000 Post + Member - who never said anything bad before)
Anyway i have a new ip, i too can sneak back in ^^

But a lot have, and (within boundaries we can and do enforce), they're entitled to say so, just as you're entitled to put the contrary view, both on ocuk and Scan.
Re: First looks - ATI Radeon HD 4850 exposed: we take a first look
tekheads list it as pre-order @ £147.99 , seems a little high if it's only $199
