Sapphire 4870 512mb

£103.49

Clicky

Sapphire 4890

£160.99

Clicky2

I'm ever so tempted by the 70 but just splashed some dosh on a new screen!

Yeah the Novatech deals for this weekend are amazing. The staff have done a really good job.

 

[PCTwin]

Bah1 I've no money left.

Not that I'm up on X58 prices, but this Gigabyte seemed decently cut:

£146 ?

 

[PCTwin]

Crossfire plus SLI for less than £150, I can't look anymore.

Now that is too tempting. Must avoid!

Currently looking at the 4890 for £160 as well.

Had a deal for a 2ndhand 4870X2 fall through at the last minute which was a crying shame, don't really need that type of power but what the hey, when did that ever stop someone?

 

[ali_james]

I can't quite believe I've managed to avoid buying one this weekend. I think that's the first bit of will power I've ever shown..

 

[Dokko]

More to do with indecision that stopped me, if i could finally make a decision then i might have gone for this one, sometime this summer.

Yeah the UD3R's been priced just under £150 for a good few weeks now. These are the X58 prices I were referring to when we were debating the merits of various socket platforms in that news thread

 

[Rastalovich]

Yeah the 3 tagged Gigabytes are usually the cheaper end after the 2R.

Now that the 4/5 mobos are valued at £210+, the price of the 3 dropped just prior to that weekend, similar over at Scan. Haven't seen a DS5 yet. Seen a UD5 for £208 and the extreme at £240.

Should be a rush to get a load sold b4 the new mobo ranges come out around Q4.

Went for the £135 Gainward Golden sample 260GTX 216.
