^ i know u got a 4850, i just thought u may have know .

 

[zmatt]

Well if the 4870 is anything like the 4850 as far as layout then yes.

 

[Luke]

^well my plan on getting a 4870 is off, so it doesn't really matter anyway.

 

[zmatt]

Why is that?

 

[Luke]

^some guy here was selling a diamond 4870 for 230 shipped, but he wanted the money as quickly as possible, i couldn't pay him for another week as i have to get my pay check, and someone bid and payed he immediately. It doesn't really matter though, im happy with my 9600gt for now, i'll get a new gpu, nehalem cpu, mobo, and ddr3 ram in like march.

I heard that Gigabyte will sell X2's.

 

[zmatt]

Cool although I doubt I will upgrade video cards for some time.

 

[Pinscher]

So I'm planning on getting an X2 and it will be my first ATI card. Who do you recommend to buy from? Ste it sounds like you like gigabyte. Are they considered one of the top manufacturers?
