Have you thought about waiting for a HD 6770?
Late October for 6770 and 6870. Chinese AIBs already have samples and are mass producing cards.
6770 = 5850 in performance at slightly higher than current 5770 prices.
6870 = ~35% faster than 5870 for ~$440 USD.
I'd wait a bit. These are going to be the last new cards coming out for a long while as the next transition to 28nm isn't due til Q4 2011 according to TSMC and globalfoundaries.
No official announcement yet, just rumors. 24nm would be pretty effecient
I agree, it looks like it could be one nice card but who knows till it actually comes out. I hate waiting for tech to come out, its a never ending game lol.
Quite a few ppl knows how its going to turn out. And it is good.
Are you really giving people performance estimates based off a random Vantage score? Yikes.
Link to the pricing? That would be interesting to me. I'd also like to know what a 5850 will cost afterso I can Xfire.
Please cease and desist.
OP didn't ask, there was no reason to bring it up.
In the future my action for similar thread derails will be to delete the offending posts and/or hand out some warnings...for now I'm just going to highlight the fact that I don't appreciate this sort of blatant thread derailing.
