Good morrow sirs.
I know most of you consider ATI to be in bed with the devil due to past experiences but despite that i'm offering my trusty 512mb palit 4850 pcie card up for sale having moved up a little to a 4870 to run a bit more smoothly at 1920x1080. It is capable of those resolutions given the proper backing of a good cpu.
I've had it since mid october and its been marginally overclocked but not to any real extent, too scared to damage the card to be honest. It doesn't come with the stock reference cooler so unless you plan to replace the cooler completely i wouldn't really recommend it for overclocking as the ram sits under the cooler but is not touching so is only slightly cooled by the air.
there's a linky for it from scan for a few more details. its pretty much just a no frills card that i'd be looking to shift for something around the £75 mark.

poke me on irc or whatever if you are interested and i can sort out delivery before or at the lan if desired.
if there are no takers before the lan i'll prob just pop it on ebay and see what i can get for it.
