Price keep going down. Can I expect a 3870 @50 AR?

Why would anyone buy that when a $145AR 4850 has almost the same performance?

because you have a 3870x2 and want to crossfire.

Uh, the 4850 still can't touch this thing. It might with improvements through drivers but not ATM. The 4870 does beat it in some games but not many. Besides this baby looks pretty good after 8.6 finally fixed the microstutter. If I didn't want to test drive the new cards I would have stuck with them.
Being able to run 4 monitors on one card must be a sight to behold
