Hey people, I need a hand.
I'm looking for the cheapest 4870 I can get my little mitts on, I don't care about the clock speeds, it's going in my rig, and it'll be watercooled, so I'll be messing with them myself, this is the 3rd one I will have owned, so I need it to be uber cheap. Or, as cheap as possible!
Thanks guys.

The 1GB model can actually be slower than the 512MB in some circumstances though, so be careful.

Knowing bugger all about GPUs, is there much difference to the 4770 that would see you try to save a few £ with it  ?: http://www.okobe.co.uk/ws/product/SAPPH ... ?ref=1q4bsCould it be OC'd or something? Again, stabbing in the dark here

Thanks, but 2 problems: 1 - It's downgrading 2 - I have a 4870 waterblock that's going to be attached
