Currently looking to upgrade my system and ive stumbled upon this:

http://www.microdirect.co.uk/Product...2&GroupID=1751

Seems very competitively priced for the spec. Can anyone see a glaringly obvious problem or should I get on the phone and reserve one. Ordered all my kit from them in the past so no problems about scams.

Seems to be well priced.The card is good.Its a tad faster than the x1900 xtx and is a whole lot quieter.
Well as long as it isn't refurbished or anythin,by all means buy it.

I just got the card about a week ago and i am very satisfied. The card is great and has great performance. But the real plus is the fan. It is very very quiet. I sleep right next to my running pc and unstressed it is extremely quiet. When stressed it runs a little faster, but is still very quiet. When the temperature gets to high it bursts to life for a short time, then goes quiet again. I would advice you to wait for the catalyst 6.10 drivers which officialy support the card. But apart from that its great. And cheap.

Thankyou, looks like you've helped me pick my christmas present.

Which of the two is the price?
£236.70 Ex VAT or
£278.12 Inc VAT

....and how much does that come out to be in USD? 300ish? looks like a good deal!

inc Vat is what we pay.

However and it's a big however I just logged on to order and lo and behold a whole new stocklist coming in on the 10th November and some tempting new cards all featuring crossfire 2. Can pick up two X1950 Pro's with crossfire 2 for about the same price. Gonna go benchmark hunting now.

Ok guys budgets about £300-£350 go to it my little driverheaven imps pick me a christmas present
