[blckgrffn]

yes, nice deal. Thank you.

not sure how you get $200; price shows $290 - $60 code (HARDOCP1229A) to $230.

 

[richierich1212]

holy balls, and I thought my 220 was a good deal

 

[Solarium]

Damn now that both the 470 and the 5870 is down to $200, can't figure out for the life of me which is a better deal... How's this compared to the Asus or Galaxy 470?

 

[RaistlinZ]

5870 is slightly faster than a 470 in most games.

 

[Solarium]

How about overclocking abilities?

Should I buy one of these? I have a 4890 which seems to work well enough in everything except Black Ops. I am going to do a new build in Jan/feb. When is the next gen coming out? Should I pull the trigger on this now or wait till feb/march or... later? I play on 1920 X 1080 resolution if that matters.

 

[bankster55]

hella deal
If this was a no tax vendor I would get 2 right off the bat
And forget that 1/5, this aint gonna last long
Thnx OP

It's about 50% faster than a 4890 when it's not CPU-limited: http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/175?vs=162.

In CODBO, you're CPU-limited: http://www.techspot.com/review/336-cod-black-ops-performance/page8.html. A new card won't do much for you.

So your choice whether it's worth it. Honestly, it's probably not.

Oh, snap. I thought you might do that. Man, I'm jealous now! I take it you're saving that for the new SB build? How's the wife going to feel when that's all over?

 

[Zargon]

hehe who knows

 

[Xcobra]

DAMN IT! I still have my GTX 260 but want to wait until the next gen.

 

[XJustMeX21]

This worth it from a 4890?

Read the thread for the win?

its funny that there are still people trying to sell these in the for sale or trade forum for more than this price.

You should see eBay pricing!

 

[mizzou]

ugh, that's a really good deal!

Think I'm going to pass D: .. I DEF need a new eyefinity card, but I think I'll end up with something slightly faster then my 4850 (maybe the 5770 or 6850) and just grab one of those when they are on sale.

Damn, 6850 goes for like 189-150 .....that's basically 200....which is this card...

ARGGHH!

 

[SparkyJJO]

Good deal for sure... but I'm still sticking with my 4870 (am I crazy).

 

[edplayer]

tempting, but I sense a price war starting on all the cards when the 560 series launch
