Replacement Question

PirateShampoo · 2010-08-25 17:42:53

I had 2 X Gainward Radeon HD 4850 1GB Golden Sample graphics card that died on my while under Warranty. I sent them back to Komplett (where i purchased them from) and they have offered to replace them with 2 X XFX Radeon HD 5770 1GB DDR5. Is this a fair replacement?

you're getting a good deal. faster, cooler, and overclocks like a beast. i'd be pretty delighted with that result.
