Well it only got released internationally like a couple of minutes ago, so I doubt they are available in RSA yet. he he, but in a week or 3

See link in sig.

Andy, is the 4870 worth the extra cash in your opinion?

I34z1k · Post by **I34z1k** » 25 Jun 2008, 22:11

IMHO yes, they seem to be worth xfiring... Really

And for a single card setup?

I guess i should elaborate a bit on that comment.
Any card for R3499.00 that can run Crysis at an average of 35FPS @ 1680X1050 (GTX 280 - 40.7FPS at over R7K!!!) is good for me. This with very immature drivers can only mean great things for ATI's cards in the future.

Add to this the awesome HD quality as well as the higher scalability of Crossfire over SLi makes this card (and the 4850) a winner in my eyes.

And you'll definitely have them Monday?

Now please wait until they arrive before you sell your 8800GT...

Post by **Stuart** » 25 Jun 2008, 22:44

Lol, my thoughts exactly. Though, at this rate, the GFX will probably arrive before the P45 boards in any case.

andyddr · Post by **andyddr** » 25 Jun 2008, 22:49

P5Q's will be here (in SA) on Monday BTW.
Yes, Monday sees the 4870's arriving. Shipping to customers will probably start late Monday or first thing on Tuesday depending on time constraints.

This just in from Andy:

Hi Guys

The bad news is stock has been delayed by a week making the ETA 07/06/2008. That said we are planning to add something extra (like a free game) to the package to say sorry for the delay.
I'll have the supplier's statement up as soon as they release it.

Regards,
Andy

Good thing I didn't get too excited about selling my 8800GT!

It's back on track schase

We had a problem with some 3650's that weren't available and therefore stopped the entire shipment from leaving. I'm happy to say that the cards are on the way as we speak and we expect the stock to land on Monday/Tuesday (at the latest).
