It's still ATI's fastest single graphics card, but it's now cheaper than ever before.

It seems to be a good week to be buying an ATI graphics card. Just the other day, we found that prices were beginning to tumble on the Radeon HD 4870 - a result of the recent arrival of the competitive Radeon HD 4770, we felt.

Well, considering you can pick up 2 4870s for £220 they have to come down in price.

Did someone say 4890 X2 ???

Not that I heard, no. I'd rather see a 4770 X2 for ~ £170...

Care to drop me a link with where you're finding two of these for £220, unless you mean the 512mb models?

Edit: With the price drops I guess this makes the 4870x2 a much better solution than the GTX285, being both faster and cheaper, right?

Cheapest 4870s I've seen are 112 a pop at Overclockers, but then postage on top.

The quicker these prices come down, the more fun us computationalists are going to have

£112.99 with far cry 2, yes its 512mb, but still.

So thats two far cry 2 games which you could then sell to make some money back

Is that price without P&P as the scan price would be with free p&p so they would be almost the same price.

Nice price though for a lot of power.

Free P&P with novatech, its in the drop down list when you get to checkout.

Now 240 GBP at SCAN

Noob, not it's not

It's an amazing price for such a card!

[soulfire6]

great i cashed in on this one, however after instaling my card and atempting to use it i am repeatedly sent to blue screen. The drivers are insane, none have worked and i have tried EVERY entry on AMD's web page. Im busy downloading the Win 7 RC 64 to replace the vista 64 i am running at the moment in the vain hope that i wont have to return this for a GTX 295 (and extra £200!).
