Radeon 4870X2 for sale

Hi Guys.

I have the following for sale.

Asus ATI Radeon 4870X2 2GB Pci-X card

This is a dual GPU card and awesome for extreme gamers.

Reason for selling - Getting another GTX460 to SLI and have DX11 instead of 10.1

I can still get the Sapphire version of this card for R4560 new.

I'm look for R2200 so that I can purchase another Asus GTX460 1GB TOP DirectCUII card.

I live in Bothasig, Cape Town.

PS. This card gives a 7.1 score in my Win7 and it needs atleast 600W PSU. It's 27cm long, so make sure it will fit in your case.

For R2200 I'd rather get a 560Ti new. Or a 6870.

I agree. R2200 for a 4870x2 is very high. The 560Ti will also beat the 4870x2 in FPS on most games. Might have to drop the price.

I'm willing to negotiate on the price.

I deal a lot on over on Carbonite forums.

At MOST, you will get R1000 for that, if you are lucky.

Hey Kuga, where can you get the GTX560Ti for that price?
I'm willing to drop my price to R1700.
I hope I can get it sold, because I actually want to get another GTX460 to run SLI for Battlefield 3

here is your card

R2600 new and most likely outdated as it has been discontinued. You will get R1500 max and i mean MAX for your card

this is the GTX460 I got and need:

I paid R6900 for that card 2 and half years ago and I understand that I can't take this into account.
My suppliers sell the Sapphire version for R4550 new. So I think R1700 is a decent price.
I'll still lose out, but I don't have much money to add for the new card.
And I will never buy AMD/ATI again. They just suck. Intel/Nvidia FTW!!!!!!!!!!

PS, the second link you posted is the 4850X2, which doesn't come close to the 4870X2.

There you have it, R5288 for my card new.
Seems like everybody is totally underestimating this card.
It's a monster with 2 gpu's giving 2GB of DDR5 memory and kicks any game in the balls at 1920x1080 res.

Geez guys.... the card is decent. Comes close (and sometimes beats) to the gtx480 in terms of performance. Just doesn't have DX11.

That might scare off some buyers.

Sorry I made a mistake. It's the NON Ti version at the price. The Ti is somewhere around the R2800 mark.

I do apologize for giving false hope.

Mass09, I get your point. I got this card from a friend, but I'd rather use my GTX460 (planning on getting another one and SLI them) and the 4870X2 doesn't fit in my old pc( my wifes pc now) The case is too small and 450W psu wont even start the baby up. In my experience, the only time I ever had problems with drivers or glitches in games, it were with ATI cards. From my 9550SE, 9600Pro, HD4850(just failed after 2 year. But non of my Nvidia cards ever had problems. So I have probably become a Nvidia fanboy because of that.

I also used to be a strictly Nvidia kind of guy. That is until I got my AMD 6850, I was pleasantly surprised. It's probably best to always shop around for a card with the best price/performance ratio... But ya, if you have a unpleasant past with a certain brand, perhaps changing brands isn't such a bad idea.

I buy whatever works well.

I had 2 x 575's (570's with a 580 BIOS).

They ran beautifully. However, I had overheating issues. So I switched back to AMD. Running a 3 GPU system is the best thing ever.

Wow nice. I'm actually considering selling my GTX460 as well and getting a new GTX560Ti, but is it worth the 30% increase in performance?

I agree here. The most you should get is R1000 anything more and the person buying it is very stupid and you are very lucky and ripping him off. The card is 2 years old. Don't think you gonna get it sold.

Well then I'll just leave it on top of the bin on rubbish removal day next week. Or maybe use it as a doorstop? Any other uses for this apparently worthless card?

Thanks for nothing guys.
Dreams crushed.

It's not worthless.. It's just not as valuable as you think in terms of currency.

Just for laughs :

You'll struggle to sell those cards here for the price you're asking. I recommend selling them separately on gumtree or something for about R900-R1000 each, but that's pushing it.

You can try Carbonite as well, but advertise it separately >> any person slightly clued up on GPU's with R2000+ will rather purchase a 560Ti or 6870. But there's a lot of okes with a limited budget that might fork out R900-R1000 for a Asus 4870. You'll have much more luck finding those two guys.

Fenix_ZA, this card I'm selling is 1 dual GPU card.
So I can't rip it apart and sell it separately.
I had 2 calls already, but both of them didn't have big enough power supplies.

If I had R1000 would you sell it?

Oh, missed that part - my bad. GL though.

Yes it might be a strong card but its 4xxx, we are seeing the release of the 7xxx in Jan.
Also very power hungry and they tend to get fucking hot and loud. I know I have owned one.
