Just in case anyone is interested. Already posted it to Carbonite. I have a reference design ATi 5970 2Gb (dual gpu card) for sale. R2000 on Carbonite but I'd let it go for R1800 to someone in Grrr.

Be aware its a long card (no small cases) and requires a 8 pin and 6 pin power connecter.

These was great cards and the price is reasonable. Good luck Murgs.

Already got 4 people interested and one is coming round this evening to take it cash... so I guess it's sold.

Didn't think there would be so much demand, since it's such a big card with high power requirements and somewhat dated.

Probably intends to CrossFire connect it.

I had it crossfired with a 5850. Worked great.

Got my eye on a new R9 290. Dunno if I'm going to wait for the models with custom coolers to arrive or just go with the reference one.

I'd wait if I was you, I have a feeling the R9-290x will really start to shine when they sort out their cooling.

The extra price is more than I'm willing to pay on the X model.

get the R9-290 and spend the extra on the cooler then.

People use it for Bitcoining. Hence the interest.
