with it's latest patch Battleforge became(meaning it's already available) the first DX11 game also pripyat http://forums.techpowerup.com/showth...70#post1576670 and Dirt 2 will be launched by December and Alien v Predator is scheduled for early '10. Also the important thing is it's DX9/10/10.1 which even with immature driver is higher than GTX285 which is hotter and 100$ more

Well you could just get a 4870 1GB or a GTX260 216shader since the prices have gone down and save yourself a bunch of money, and still have much better performance.
![]() With the money saved you could pocket it, or buy a nice new LCD(so next upgrade you will not need S-video).

Its overkill for now yes, but the 5850 will hold up for a coupe of years.

It is still worth it. Question, what exactly did you need the S-Video for?

Wait what? 3.. 4 months? Not worth the wait.

nah... cant take that long...a month tops and the prices will drop nicely .... even if you bought now you'd wait a week or so for the shop to deliver due to low stock... so adding 3 more weeks makes a month... not that long really
![]() besides they'll most likely bring out a 5890 soon to deal with the GT300 when that launches and that will hit the shelves at the same price as this and kick a lot more arse ![]() when that happens the prices on the 5870 / 5850 will be a lot less... (if the 4870 / 4890 launch is anything to go by) I dunno if you have money to throw around then go for it now... you wont be sorry, but if you can hold on for a few weeks you'll save a lot and can afford much better... whatever is cleverer in your opinion and depends on how badly your current gfx card is playing games
