6870 and 6850 get them here on the egg

[trt740]

It does help the person who is thinking about upgrading to 6870 from a 5850 choose if he should do it or not
does it really justify the cost? IMO it does, but not by lot... not a must thing to do at all...
but I think it does because of the resell value, the CFX scaling... basically the future and all those features might be useful, in the future! also, I find my 5850 to be too hot and noisy, at least when they were in CFX they were really noisy
and I think I convinced trt740 that I am right

I feel like doing a happy dance

yea a few more shaders would have been great... just enough to say that you beat the 5870 everywhere and the 5850 everywhere after all, the 5750 beats the 4850 everywhere and so does the 5770 vs the 4870

If this would have happened we would even be having this discussion at all.

Well here is my thought, if you can get a 5850 for sub 200.00 with a good cooler maybe not but then again maybe. Plus you won't sell a used 5850 for more than 160.00 now, because 5850 are gonna plunge price wise starting today. Then after shipping and fees your down to about 140.00 profit and that might not be worth it. It might be better to buy a after market cooler and wait for a 6970 but again maybe not. Still if your quick a sucker is born everyday on ebay. There is no wrong answer here.

Canada, I can sell it at 199$ Canadian = 190$ US if I sell ASAP... its an XFX 5850 Reference, (and I can easily help with lifetime warranty, even better than transfering as I do all the work for them lol)

get a 6870 at 240$ from the US... 50$ max If I can snatch an early used 6870 even better!

If your going to do it, right now is the time, and I mean now.

I think that they are coming a few days later in Canada because we are always late by a couple of day in Hardware xD but there has been barely any hype here, wich I am really greatful for... I sold my ASUS 5850 Ref for 225$, now this one for 200$ hopefully... I'll try to sell it tomorrow for sure, right now everyones asleep xD

I told you it would, buy this and overclock the hell out of thats 5850 your temps won't brake 70c under intense gaming and it will be as fast or faster than a 6870 Plus very quiet. http://www.zalman.co.kr/ENG/product/Product_Read.asp?idx=385
