I thought I did well getting a 5850 for £189.
Feels like the R600 again.
I've given in too. Just placed an order with Amazon for their out of stock HD5870 Vapor-X for £294. I'm not holding all that much hope that it will be fulfilled mind.
TBH if the rumours about the 470 are true it could be a decent card - again this is relative to the current prices of 5850's.
Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.
The prices of the ATI cards are only so high because ATI currently have sod all competition across pretty much every area. ATI could probably sell them at 1/3 of the price they currently are and still turn a profit. Given their issues and the rumoured sheer size of the thing, most feel that Nvidia won't have that flexibility, certainly not in the 470 and 480 - any price wars that Nvidia get engaged in will be to their own loss.
I think this one is going to be aimed at the Nvidia fans alone.

Until it's released, and we see real pricing then I wouldn't discount it as an option. Right now i'm not in need of a new GPU anyway. If Fermi really does under perform it'll be cheaper in order to sell anyway. ATI or nVidia is good for me - not really bothered who makes my next GPU - more concerned about bang for buck.
