SKEL HELP!

Post by METRIC »

Wanna get another 5870, cant wanna avoid the likes of Ebay n shit. Cant find one for less than 320euro!!!

Also, i cant for the life of me find just the factory one that i have in my Alienware, just the ATI hd 5870. All i can find are the likes of Saphire/MSI/ASUS ect. WHY IS IT SO HARD TO JUST GET THE ATI ONE I HAVE!!! checked dell site also, dont do the 5870 anymore, do all the 3 and 4 series though :roll:

Had a look on the 3 sites I use and only 1 has any of those cards but those are XFX cards and would come to over €360.

Try and find a reputable seller on eBay will be your best option.

Can't remember what card you have at the moment but the 5750 is significantly better than the 8800GTS I gave you in some games and on par with other games. From memory I think the card you have is about on par with the 8800GTS so the 5750 should be a decent upgrade.

Off top of my head its a 4670.

What about this on amazon for £65?

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B002SOX ... 709&sr=8-1

It might be the mobile site link but if you search 'Ati radeon 5750' it's the first one.

The 5750 is about twice as fast as your current card.

Max settings on Fallout 3 at 1920x1200 with the 5750 should give you about 50-55fps compared to 25-30fps of the 4670.

Mass Effect 2 is 70 vs 42.

Any comments on the one on amazon? £65 isn't much I might get that along with some ram. Although saying that I am getting impatient and might order a system or load up a credit card lol!
