I can see some mass suspensions coming.
Still though, I think this card is over priced when 5870s aren't much different in price.
I'm saying nothing.

I've seen this listed (from a quick google check) for 240 on competitors sites. Are OC overpricing, or are competitors pretending to have checp stock when they don't?

If I was going to buy a 5850 now, this would be the one.

If that's true then it's a bit odd that OC's isn't competitive on this particular product since their meant to be Sapphire's 'preferred supplier' (or some fancy title) in the UK.
Has anyone seen a review of this card or got one yet? I would be interested to see how it benchmarks compared to a stock 5850 and 5870. I'd also like to know what max clock speeds the Toxic BIOS allows. Isn't 775/1125 the limit on standard Sapphire cards?

True but the toxic editions are usually mad overclocker's.
