Hi guys,

Looking to purchase a new gpu along with a couple of other upgrades that I've already figured out. My budget for the card is maximum £200, and I've been looking at the Sapphire 7870 XT as a possible solution.

As there (oddly) hasn't been any reviews on the new cards yet I'm wondering whether to play safe and go for the Gigabyte Windforce as it's got a great OC out of the box, or whether to risk it on the XT and hopefully get a stronger card.

Has anyone picked one of these up and if so, how does it fare?

Cheers for the help guys!

Essex innit!
I would go for the Gigabyte purely because of who they are. They have a great reputation should you ever need to RMA the card and I believe a UK based returns, so this would make it much quicker.
