hi this is the only choice i have as to where i buy as they gave me £150 credit for my returned card here Cheap Laptops, Hard Drives, LCD Monitors, TVs, Televisions and more at Ebuyer.com
i have a total of £250 to spend so i am limited to this retailer,
from what i read ati seem to be best value cards over nvidea but i could be wrong
yea they are the best value.... well i looked.... sadly they have no 5870sbut.... they do have 5770's and two of those on cf are about as fast as a 5870
and since your mobo supports cf..... (not sli) two of these would be good unless you'd rather wait a bit for a 5870 to come in stock or go with nividia (bleh)
XFX HD 5770 1GB DDR5 DUAL DVI DISPLAYPORT HDMI PCI-E Graphics Card - Ebuyer
agreedum...... why go for something that slow? with is budget a HD5870 would be a perfect fit.... and remember.... its dx11I'd go with a Nvidia card because the W7 API can use the card for a number of things to help performance besides gaming.
As for a card with some muscle I'd go with the EVGA GTX275 WTF Edition.
GeForce GTX 275 Core Clock 713 MHz Shader Clock 1512 MHz Stream Processors 240 Processor Cores Memory Memory Clock 2520 MHz Memory Size 896MB Memory Interface 448-bit Memory Type DDR3 3D API DirectX DirectX 10 OpenGL OpenGL 3.0 Ports DVI 2 x DVI TV-Out HDTV Out

also..... what site will you be buying your card from?
that is if your cpu won't bottleneck this
thanx for help what do you guys think about 2x 5770 crossfire then or should i hold on for the 5870.....................
i would hold for the 5870, but if you get tired of waiting the two 5770's will last you for a good while
very so went for 2 x 5770 at £122.99 each seems they wont get the 5870`s for quite a while thanx all for the help, do any of you know about over clocking thease cards.........
