Good videocard Btw, if it's a new pc, why did u buy a HD4870? U could buy a HD6850 1GB on it's price (and u could run it in DX11 mode)
This card is about 100% stonger than 4870, and they have got same price (in Hungary, but I think it's same in Germany and UK)

Note to self: Never post the details of your freshly purchased gear, unless you're ready to be outsmarted by MUCH BETTER OFFERS. Always. There are always better offers for the same money :3

Why does noone ever consider the possibility that this gear might be a gift or stolen?

my laptop is practically stolen, well it is!

Same here, infact all of my computer related stuff is generally stolen.

The entire pc was a bargain.

Has an intel core2 quad cpu Q9550 @ 2.83 ghz, 8gb ram ddr2, and this hd4870 sonic dual edition which, to my (limited) knowledge still has a good overclocking ability
For just €250
I was content with the fact that I may have to upgrade my card within 2 years for that price lol
I don't care much for DX11 and I think it will be a while yet before DX11 becomes a must for games

Also,
I usually do get my hands on stolen computers/laptops, got a few in the basement actually...
But they're not even close to gaming pc's
The best one I got of a steal was with a 8600GT video card

So it's fell of the back of a truck? lol

Working in removals brings some awesome perks is all I have to say

Nice one Masta.

Chinny, would you be running vista on that there laptop by any chance?

Yup Vista.

Vista has ridiculusly high requirements for what it has to offer, Win7 is better in all terms

edit: I'm playing Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 with high graphics great fps on my shitty laptop <3

I'm not surprised since CoD:MW3 is optimized for XBOX 360 and the likes. So the graphic sucks. If you tell me, you can run Battlefield 3 with high settings ... Well that'll be much cooler.

I thought it's just the same as MW2 and I still liked it.. although not that easy to tell the difference between these games with good graphics as I rarely play games at all :P

You'd be able to tell the difference between CoD and BF3 on highest settings

I really don't like Vista, it's the worst so far for Deus Ex. SDK has a habit of not rebuilding maps built in XP. Also when I'm playing HL2, DX, HL1, any game at all, i can get moments of freeze or shitty fps, even though my pc spec is considerably better than previously. Maybe I need more ram, but I just smelled shitty from the word "go".

Has anyone played black ops. The map I saw wasn't anything special.

I had Vista only four some hours (it came with my new pc), then i installed win7 lol
