not only that but on techpowerup they said the 5850 will be faster then the gtx 285 and its at such a lower price point makes me think what the 5870 will be like or even the 5870 x2:o

Im actually in the middle of upgrading, so I'm just gonna buy myself a motherboard with on-board graphics and run off the on-board until the 5850 comes out instead of purchasing a 4870.

if the 5870 is only a minor upgrade to the 5850, I know that I will get the 5850. Either way, one of these two bad boys in going to my machine.

well they should be.. they re going to release a fast card yes. but they are not getting any good yield what so ever. they are about 20-30% and they will release it a high price. Since software has not caught up to the hardware people can buy ati's card for a cheap price and be able to max out most games or atleast 360/ps3 level and get great price/performance ratio. Nidia will have to be aggressive with their price or they will be in trouble

Hi. I hate to burst everyone's bubble but you have to remember everytime

a new class of GPU is released,only the lucky few with fast fingers on the

check out button over at Newegg are going to get cards. The rest of us

will be playing the in stock - out of stock game. It happens everytime.

well i plan to stay with my 48701G as most games don't need that much gpu power nowadays even at 1920x1200 so a midrange 5770 that is more powerful then my 4870 wow the 5850 and 5870 must be beast let alone the 5870x2!!! crysis will not stand a chance it will be eaten alive by these new high end cards.

Is this confirmed? I might sell my GTX 275 for $200 and get a 5850, if they really are faster than the GTX 285. Again, is the speed, price and release date CONFIRMED?

I'm Canadian, the cheapest GTX 275 here is $235 + taxes and shipping so, I think $200 would be fair, considering I got it a month or 2 ago.

yeah i bought my 4870 not even a year ago for 300$ and withing the upcoming months a midrange card the 5770 will perform better while costing 150$ or less :(. but i defiantly wont upgrade as i see no need to im happy with how every game runs so far at 1920x1200 once more demanding games start coming out i will upgrade.

This is still rumour and speculation at this point right? If the pricing turns out to be true, it'll be really interesting what Nvidia responds with.

Only $300? So what? I payed $250 for my card, now I will probably get around $100 for it, and it gets to $200. Is that expensive? That is hella cheap! People, don't get 5850, it will be midrange very soon (if even on start). Boy I can't wait for them. Sad that on 10th they are only presenting them or whatever... I wanna dx11 cardz... :(

GOOD. The GTX 260 should come down in price significantly. Time to SLI and even TRI SLI if they are cheap enough ;)

If AMD manage to get their drivers on par with the level of Nvidia then I might be tempted to buy, but I've always preferred and bought Nvidia for that reason (I've had experience with both companies). Plus CUDA is a big seller for me personally. But wow, if these cards are as powerful as they sound AMD have really outdone themselves, just hope the drivers are up to scratch.

yeah it sure ati can need few rma on there high end product and have issue but machine_B the HD4000 was the revolution if you ad ati before it was maybe HD3870 which ain't any near of stable as the HD4000's but again HD5000 is where the Real step will go according what all being said it should be even more stable and balanced then ever

But Again nvidia will remain the leader of Physic X effect and unless there an way to ATI user have Physic X they will suffer sales latelty as DX11 Will offer bunch of new Physic X effect among with GT300 But Because they may take 3-5 month before Gt300 ATI WILL have gain a huge economy boost and hopefully to do someting effective in bring more Powerfull HD5000 series quicker then rival to earn again more money

I wouldnt count on it, Crysis gets pretty much zero benefit after the second card.

Mike0698

but i already can!!!!...on low...at 640x480. =P

just kidding but deffently should be seeing crysis maxed out at least 100fps at 1080p with 4 hd5870s or 2 5870x2s
