HD5850 seems like an excellent buy

[Isengard]

Agreed Gradius. The 5850 is looking like the better buy. After reading the reviews on Anandtech and HardOCP I am slightly underwhelmed by the 5870's performance. I think when nVidias cards eventually show up, they are going to thoroughly trounce AMDs offering.

oh my fn word R2699 retail !!! am I dreaming or something?

Mmm maybe at three times the price?
I`ll definately be getting the 5870 dual gpu when it comes

[Gradius]

HD5850 is between the price of a HD4870 and HD4890. This is an excellent choice for a new gfx card

[Keldarza]

First time in a while ATI .. er.. AMD might actually sway me from Nvidia

But I'm only thinking of an upgrade late next year, so lets see what happens

The top tier nVidia card will likely come in at R6000. Thats 50% more, but I am almost certain it will be more than 50% more powerfull.

Top end GT300 GPU are confirmed as $699 on some sites

[Isengard]

They'd be crazy to release it at that price. Not with the 5870 lurking around.
