good job i ordered a pair from Pixmania to split the postage and get £5 off as over £190 off or i would be a bit peeved that happened - i checked ebuyer on Monday when i ordered and they were all around £155
Won't be buying but thats a top deal.
I bought a secondhand XFX HD5850 1GB Black Edition with a copy of DiRT2 for around £90 a few months ago. I probably should have waited a bit longer in hindsight but hopefully it will do the job until next year.
Just a heads up - The XFX HD 6850 version is known to have a cheap PCB and a none reference design which stops the usual tweaking utilities from working.
I don't know if this card is the same, so you'll need to wait for someone to confirm.
Other brands around around £10 more and have significantly better after sales support / RMA if needed, so they might be worth considering to.
Funnily enough I did the same & bought a 5850 for that price, the 6xxx range didn´t tempt me at that point for the difference in price, for $130 (on hols, no pound sign!) I might be tempted.Quote:

That said the difference isn´t exactly mind blowing... http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/290?vs=295
Looks like a vanilla to me.
I wouldn't be too bothered I've got a 5850 and must say it runs everything I throw at it admirably! :mrgreen:Quote:
