It's average price now is around £280. This card really needs to be around £200 to still sell, since the 6870 is a lot cheaper and is pretty close to it, though i bet it's price will raise too, and with future driver improvements it should be level with the 5870. Come on AMD, where are thoes price cuts?

Just a quick picture of the card in it's new home:



I'm a little disappointed that the sticker on the fan itself is misaligned, but i'll probably end up removing it anyway, looks tacky to me.
New build on the way.

Indeed, i opened it and saw the actual shroud sticker, thought 'that looks good' and then saw that silver monstrosity ! It reminds me of the sun blockers that people put inside their cars in the Summer.

Anyway, i just started it up and the fan at idle is pretty damn quiet, i have it right next to me on the desk as i'm typing this and it's barely audible.

Hrmmm....may have to move my golden editions for some 6870s. I actually dislike the Nvidia drivers more than ATi's!

We need some benchamarks. I'm really looking forward to seeing how well these scale.

They scale brilliantly, two 6870's in Crossfire match a pair of 480's in some benchmarks. Seems like AMD really focussed on Multi GPU scaling for this generation.
