I...don't understand it.

So pledge $105 and get a radeon 6870? That's it?

edit: yes, looking at dev comments that is it. $105 for the 6870. Since the 6870 retails for $170 on newegg, this is a hot deal.

OTOH, delivery will be sometime in december.

I went to the web page, only 10 of 235 deals left.

I started browsing about the 6870, checked back and 9 deals left. Browsed a little more, 8 deals left.

So I got it, then checked the page again, 6 deals left.

Not sure what I'll do with the card yet.:)

How does that card compare to my current Radeon 4890?

They're all sold out now at all tiers for the 6870 - but it's a confusing offer, I only got the $105 tier and hope that's enough. There's a lot about 'add it to another tier'.

$105 is correct. They may add more to the tier later today. Initially, there was no tier that allowed for a video card combination. In order to put the option there, they needed to add tiers after the initial Kickstarter launch. As a result, yes it's a little confusing. Hopefully Kickstarter will streamline future tiers to projects so that confusion such as this doesn't happen.

This is what you will do:

blow another $300 to piece together a gaming pc around the card.

Today there is a 106$ pledge tier that gives 2!!! 6770s

I think that's better than 1 6870 for 105 personally.

Wonder if I can change from the $105 to $106 tier...

Seems like a good idea? They're going fast. A couple 6870 deals are opening up...
