    Definitely going to get one of these cards! R2699 is a very good price for the specs on that 5850

    It was the same thing when nVidia released there GT200 GPu's :/
    When the Gt300 comes out, they'll just drop the GT200 to rock bottom prices to compete with Ati like usual...

    Unless you're going to be running all your games at 2560x1600 it'll not be worth it IMHO.

    I'll get myself the cheapest card that'll run my games 60fps or more at 1920x1200.

    For some reason I see a 5850 in my future.....

    Landmark must be importing it them selves. Good for them, but that price is R900 above what AMD SA have quoted as SA's official RRP.

    The 5850 looks like the card to buy.
