Shiny new 4870 oc'd :)
Posted: Thu Jan 01, 2009 9:20 pm
Got Farcry2 and COD World at War for chrimbo, so i just had to take the plunge. 
Gone for a dual Bios card - Pallit 4870 Sonic. It is oc'd already, but you can flip a switch on the card, and reboot, to get stock speeds. Pretty useless switch?? Some reviews seem to think so. I beg to differ!
With a dual bios, I can overclock the stock setting/flash the bios, and if I bugger the bios, then all I do is flick a switch and off I go in an already oc'd state, if slighty lower than I'll be aiming for. Excellent (rubs hands). Has an aftermarket cooler too, that seems to make it one of the coldest 4870's out there on basic air.

Got this for £160 inc vat. God bless the credit crunch! Should be here for Tuesday Untill I spotted this, I was set for a top end 4850 for the same money.
