Those 5850s won't be around for much longer

 

[Porcelina]

For that price, the 5850 is looking like a real competitor to the 460 again. Actually, it might very well just straight up beat it.

 

[bhavv]

The 5850 price is wrong, its showing as £199.74

£193 for it is awesome though.

xfx 5850

I have a ati 4870 at the moment,and am wondering will i see a big difference if i buy the XFX 5850 which is on sale at today.

Also would i be able to put a third party cooler on it(i know that it would disable the gurantee)something like an Arctic Cooler?

Here's some comparison:
http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/176?vs=164

As for aftermarket VGA cooler, it might not fit XFX 5850 since it is most likely not with a reference PCB. I have a Akasa Vortexx NEO VGA Cooler that I wanted to fit onto my XFX9800GTX+, but XFX's custom designed PCB has some capacitors positioned in spots that's getting in the way, so I couldn't fit the cooler on it (not unless I tear the capacitors off the PCB...but pretty sure the card would be borked after that lol).

Thanks for the info,and the comparison website,it looks as if the 5850 beats the 4870 by quite a distance.
Pity about the cooler though,as i always fit a third party cooler to my v/cs,because its not a reference pcb,does that mean there are no coolers on the market to fit to it at all.?

Do you know if it is very noisy at full load.?

Thanks.

Not really, the GTX460 has also dropped in price to sub £165 territory (1GB models).

The price difference is still ~£30 (more like £40 as there is only 1HD5850 at the sub £200 price point) as it was around the GTX460 launch.

I agree though its an excellent price for such a competitive card.

 

[varkanoid]

not that good a price still 8 left !

 

[Porcelina]

Yeah you are right, it does not really beat it as such, but at least if prices moved into this territory it would regain some of its place in the market. There is a squeeze between the point of the 460 and 470 and the 5850 will definitely be a lot more attractive if it could go further down.

Then again, I have no idea about real world stats for sales, the price point might be fine even at the perceived higher end but in terms of tangible power for price, the 5850 series has looked a little out of sorts.
