    I'm thinking the same thing. I've been holding onto my 5770 waiting for something new with a good price, the 7850 looks like a great deal to me.

    Might just grab myself one on release.

    I'll stick with my crossfire 5870 for now. Runs a bit hour in the chassis, but not the end of the world.

    Well I am going to wait till my 5770 starts struggling, at the moment it still serves me very well, so I will wait for the 7850 to go down in price a bit first. So maybe get one August'ish...
    contact me if you are in Cape Town and looking for PC Hardware at very competitive pricing. We also do web and graphic design.

    Sweet, I'm going to be looking out for these. I wonder when the mobile variants of these cards will hit our shores. Interested to see which laptops come equipped with that.

    What's the recommended power supply for these cards?

    The awesome thing is that they will not be very power hungry on idle. I might have to go back to gaming laptops if they are really good.
    "multiplatform"... the word that ruins games for PC gamers.

    I've got the same plan in mind, since I'm on a 5850 now, except maybe end of the year or next year this time.

    So what's the word? Are these things coming in February? I'm looking for a new card (semi urgently) and if the 7850 is too far off I'm likely going with a 6870 then.

    Still no official date, but it seems set for Feb. With the 7990 launching in March.
