For an extra £25 you could have one of these bad boys! Way better!

Get saving, it will be the best £25 you ever spent!

So the oven trick didnt work then? lol

But Gavac's right, the HD 4870's are a great series.

Personally speaking, after just getting a new card, if I were you I'd look for :

• 1 GIG of DDR5
• Crossfire Support ( not essential obviously ).
• Reputable Manufacturer... ( again not essential, but as these things can get hot, you'l want it made well and to last. )

Once you'v found a few which tick those boxes, start looking at the clock speeds and the reviews...

well, got the one i was talking about as totally stretched for money and even that was pusing boat out!

it arrived today and is installed

runs gr8 tbh, loving it so far

in the future i'll get the latest out, start a "fucked graphics card" savings fund
