HD5870 worlds fastest graphics card, local pricing revealed

[Grimspoon]

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

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

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...

5870 is on http://www.landmarkpc.co.za/store/ for R4923

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.

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.
