Hey james, with any luck Scan.co.uk should have them in stock on the 8th I think. They fucking better anyway, been waiting over a week for it already, the last stock date for it (30th) was missed and now they say the 8th instead.

Came across this to be a bit helpful to me.
The link says that you can use the upgrade version.

Well if that is the case, then I will do some more searching.

I tried some of the sites you linked before - the 'insight uk' one was the only one I hadn't looked at so I'm ringing them on Monday to ask because they order on request.

Having one within a week from launch = FTMFW.

I paid 20€ extra to make sure I was at top of the list of first 10 ppl in Finland to get one.

Ok so after a while with some crazy German sites I've just worked out it would be ~ €190 + ~€30 for shipping to the UK. Which works out at about £200. They're retailing for around £170-£180 in the UK at the moment so not really worth it.

Which is better? 2900XT 1024mb or 9800GT OC 512mb

I'm asking because my friend just bought the 9800gt and he can't get it to work for some reason. I was wondering if it would be worth it to exchange mine with his? if they are about the same I'm thinking of doing it since his is brand new.

9800gt, easily.

Oh and your friend will be very pissed off if you trade him that card. I know exactly how loud it is.

The departments of our University of Technology had some info stuff today. I think I'll take microprocessor design or verification engineering as main subject, maybe digital chip design as minor if thats possible.

CUDA engineering is too much maths tbh.

Yes, but why would you run crossfire when you can get faster single GPU? Especially now that HD 5750 is coming...

I would only need to get one 4770, I have an extra one in my bros comp that I could easily switch with my 4850. It would be an upgrade for him and for $110 it would be worthwhile for me (getting a new mobo either way).

I hadn't seen a date on the 5750 release so it all depends on when they come out vs how soon I upgrade. Either way I need a new mobo and being able to xfire would be nice for the future.
