bah come on, we're still on release day prices!

Yep and its OcUK getting them down to these prices.

ATI refuse to do a price drop and as such our cost is still a good $20 higher than they were at launch. Thankfully to exchange rates improving and us also lowering our price we can get back to launch prices.

Not many other places in the UK are anywhere near expecially on branded parts with 2 or more years warranty. :)
 
What I seriously would like to know now then is in longterm which is a better card, particularly for latest games and railworks a GTX460 or would the 5850 do well, as RW is my main game, and the 5830 struggles with the number of particles!

This could be the selling point! MSI 460 or HIS 5850 - As I think the 5830 struggles with only havin 16 ROPs, where as the 5850 has 32

Or would it be more cost efficient to trade in the 5830 and get a 4890s or 2x GTS 250s in crossfire bearing in mind my PSU is 650W?

Nice to see the prices slowly coming down (or going back rather) but i still think the 5800 series need to come down more considering they will be EOL in the next couple of months, unless ATI have delayed SI until 2011.

They are great cards, but paying launch price for something that is about to be replaced is crazy i think.

It is doubtful as ATI are organised so they have probably already stopped production on the 58xx/59xx series meaning they will go short before the next gen appears. If ATI manage this the most likely thing is pricing will go up, however if ATI have massive overstock issues and need to reduce stock then price drops will happen but as things stand stock is still reasonably tight.

Wasnt aimed at OCUK (other than maybe a ;) to encourage a little lower) just a shame the competition from Nvidia hasnt forced ATI's hand. It really is incredible that these products have held their value for so long :)
 
Awww man, if you had lowered the price on the Powercolor ATI Radeon HD 5870 PCS+ I would most likely buy one this weekend... and then another next week when i get paid.

We are phasing those out sorry and our stocks are now low, so once those are gone we don't be stocking them again sorry.
 
Arr ok. Was mainly interested in the Powercolor one as I had heard the cooling on that one is pretty good and was thinking of going Crossfire so seemed like the better choice. Not sure what the HiS cards are like.

Running a overclocked 5850 here at 1920x1200 with everything in Railworks set to max and it run's fine. Well it did until Steam downloaded the latest update and now it won't run at all. Going to re-install it later and try again. It's not the greatest coded game though. Two patches in the last week.

My thoughts exactly, been disappointed with Ati pricing to be honest. Bought a 5850 Toxic a while back thinking I'd get another about now for crossfire but find its the same price or even higher and thats despite the current strong pound.:(

How is it performance wise and what sort of AA settings are u using? I think half the ROPs are maybe affecting my framerates, just wondering how the gtx460 would compare against the 5850

Wise choice though. Can't get mine to go anywhere near 70c even under load while oc'd @ 930/1225.

Great cards!
 
1p of 5850 and all models without voltage control , not really good price drop i say might as well wait for 6*** series
