    Agreed.

    The HIS card has a 3 year warranty though. (komplett.co.uk lists these details)

    I've never kept a card longer than a few months so it doesn't really bother me!

    There is no way I'm using overclockers; 1. They are ripping us off with the inflated price. 2. Their RMA policy is basically 'F you'

    Seems Komplett can't get their hands on any for some time, Dec now. I'm going to speak to Danny and see what he is saying.

    I have an offer from a mate in the States to ship some in, £280 delivered iirc. Think I'm going to go for it.

    most shops are putting up 21st as the realease date so expect a bigger stock then. Also found it on Scan.co.uk they only have PowerColour or Gigabyte.

    In Finland the cards are listed for a higher price than 8800GT when they should be cheaper, wtf is up with that.

    8800GT: 209 EUR
    HD3870: 230 EUR

    Would have to bost 180~190 EUR and I might choose one over a 8800GT.

    newegg has diamond, HIS, saphire, and powercooler.
    sapphire does not know how to spell support. HIS usually has cards with better coolers avalaible pretty quickly.
    pick it by what software comes with it, the pcb's are all reference design anyway so it wont make too much of a hardware difference which one you pick.

    but, seeing the current situation, i'd say go with what gets delivered within the this century.

    Powercolor is lifetime IIRC, at least it was on my X1900XT and my current X1950XT (well, I voided that a long time ago lol). You just have to register it.

    That's a little high, in Sweden the cheapest HD3870 is 199 EUR and the cheapest 8800GT is at 210 EUR.

    The most interesting card for me is the Gecube versions, their cooler is bigger and has heatpipes. Also the fan is larger i believe. And they it costs only like 15 Eur more then Sapphire, HIS and is overclocked (Core 800 MHz Mem: Can't remember)

    Edit: Found a pic

    Cheapest in Greece is 195E as far as i can tell. And the GT s nowhere to be found and costs more than 230E. Anyone know if the VF900 and VF1000 coolers are copatible with the card and if upgrading to a VF1000 is worth it(I have a vf900 but i might sell it with my X1800XT to get a vf1000)
    Seems we made our greatest error when we named it at the start
    for though we called it "Human Nature" - it was cancer of the heart

    I honestly don't see a problem. In any case, that's a bit off topic to this thread.

    when Dell first listed them they had the 3870 for $207 which was the
    best price going.... then of course the orders started flowing in and Dell
    raised the price mere hours later...

    still, a decent price for them though
