[QUOTE=woodchuck34;18669833]:( have a heart[/QUOTE] Those 9600gt's served me for 2years :britain: I guess the GTX 260/ATi 4890 is the two I am gonna go with, it just depends which is cheaper/best deal at the time of purchase

the 4890 is better than the 260

It seems that the 4890 is too compete with the GTX 275: [url]http://www.techspot.com/review/164-radeon-4890-vs-geforce-gtx275/page3.html[/url] They have comaprison with the GTX 260 and its a bit of a even match but the 4890 comes out on top, and I guess teh ATi 4890 will match the red/black theme I am going with, also I found another case, I quite like it and the review I read on it was very good. and its Just £30 [url]http://www.ebuyer.com/product/150298[/url] dont go by the Pic on that as its bad quality [img]http://www.thinkcomputers.org/reviews/sunbeam_freezing_storm/5.jpg[/img] I love how sleek/smooth it looks and it has a window :3: You can move that bar infront of the window with the fans on, I am going to add red fans and then it should all match ( I like things colour matching ) and it would fit on my desk perfectly

It's like sex for teh first time, it hurts but it's like a fuck machine, DICK DICK DICK DICK DICK DICK AND DICK. God I miss my GF :(

[QUOTE=ghostofme;18625808]The 4890 is closer in performance to the 5770 than the 4870.[/QUOTE] ?? perf level: 4890>4870>5770

just wondering, what are 2 4870s crossfired equal to?

2 4870's = 5870

[QUOTE=JohnEdwards;18676269]2 4870's = 5870[/QUOTE] its a shame crossfire boards now cost 80£, ther used to be a £60-£65 ASrock motherboard that I was gonna buy but they sold out and it never came back [QUOTE=~Kiwi~;18672648]It's like sex for teh first time, it hurts but it's like a fuck machine, DICK DICK DICK DICK DICK DICK AND DICK.

[QUOTE=woodchuck34;18674183]just wondering, what are 2 4870s crossfired equal to?[/QUOTE] I would say it's closest to a 5850.

[QUOTE=Sgt Pringles;18699700]updated OP, will the 4890 1GB see a boost over the 9600gt sli?[/QUOTE] A single 4890 beats a 9600GT SLI setup.
