Use a credit card and go into debt like the rest of America. The government is doing it, so should you.

i wonder if it really cools sufficiently with that hsf... i may grab one anyways...

I wonder how that 5850 compares to an EVGA 8800GT SCC.

 

[Sniper82]

I wish it was a 5850 lol. Might be worth it to upgrade if you sell the 8800gt off and get most the money back.

 

[HybridSquirrel]

how is this vs the 8800gts 640mb?

 

[soccerballtux]

I think I'm in for one, ebay my 9800GT or sell here.

yep just bought one

The 5850 would be a lot faster. A 4850, like the one in this thread, will be about the same.

It would be much faster. 25/35%

almost pulled the trigger like Squirrel...but pulled my hand off the mouse

 

[fastcuda]

ya this is tempting but holding out for the 5800's to get closer to reality, shouldn't be long

Been there, done that, got the bill....

Still tempting though, especially for crossfiring.

 

[cubeless]

damn... free shipping gone and price went up... got busy doing other things and forgot to finish order...

 

[lurk3r]

Grrr ... want upgrade but Fermi is a month away, even if you're not interested it will force Ati to bring their "screw the consumer there's no competition" prices back down. Price changed to $109 - rebate

Funny the day this deal hit our receptionist asked if I knew anything about video cards They picked it up to upgrade their 8600 card. They just play WoW on a 19" LCD, but just upgraded their CPU to 'make it better' but they were still not able to max out settings.

I love my 4890 I picked up at $125 with rebate/bing esp that I sold my 8800GTX for $225 at the same time.

HOLY COW THIS THING IS SO AWESOME.

Overclocking via CCC sucks, causes my comp to lock up.
Used RivaTuner in conjunction with ATItool for overclocking,

got this to 730/1160, temps always below 60C. I do have a side fan blowing right where this card is, but man this is awesome, I was not expecting it to OC so far.

 

[HybridSquirrel]

Mine came today. Woop Woop.

 

[soccerballtux]

rebooting to flash the BIOS now with higher voltage.
atiflash and Radeon Bios Editor, pull bios with GPU-z

 

[soccerballtux]

edit: bummer, so I can get that far in ATItool no problem, but playing UT3 causes it to crash, even at 700/975.

 

[HybridSquirrel]

i had some problems with my games crashing, granted i expected it because i went from nvidia to ati. fan is alot louder, even at minimum settings, but it is about 10c cooler than my 8800gts. and i got 12504 on 3dmark06 (compared to 10567 on my 8800gts) so I think this was a worthy upgrade for 89 shipped.

fan is louder? mine is silent...
Sitting at 675/1050 right now and stable.

 

[HybridSquirrel]

mine is loud as crap even at 32%. I cant get rivatuner to control fan speeds. I turn my pc off at night anyway so its not a big deal.
