Depends what sort of Photoshop stuff you do I suspect but if its only casual working with your photos from a normal digital camera it should do the job, if you work on large images a lot and you use photoshop a large amount of time you may enojy the benefit of a faster card like the 5850, and for only a little more it might be worth it

crazy prices.

makes the msi 5850 deal a bit back look expensive.

very temping to crossfire ..

chippy08 · 25 Mar 2011 at 12:26

And dont forget its pre order so not in stock until next month. But order now for a cheaper price..

jinxpad · 25 Mar 2011 at 12:44

That's a crazy deal... might just get a pair out of principle!

Exsurgo · 25 Mar 2011 at 12:47

Uhhh new I should have got the single 5850 instead of the 5870, 5870s will probably never get near this price

LiE · 25 Mar 2011 at 12:47

Free shipping too with this

great deals on these cant fault the prices

chippy08 · 25 Mar 2011 at 13:14

Wouldnt mind one of the AMD Radeon HD 5850 myself but at the moment F4 hard drives are more important to get.
So how about a deal of the centuary On samsung F4 2TBs as well.

Just ordered a 5850 to add to existing one

NathanT · 25 Mar 2011 at 13:40

So tempted to get a second 5850.. unsure if my modXstream 600 will handle 2 of them though

[Olly] · 25 Mar 2011 at 14:16

Very tempting....

Psycho Sonny · 25 Mar 2011 at 14:20

such a shame my 4850 already handles CSS and most other games so well, i only play CSS anyway, otherwise i would have been all over the 5850, when this one dies, im hoping there down to £50 by then

Really considering this, but never had CF before...

I already have a 5850, but it's an Asus TOP model, clocked to 765/1125 stock and hits 900/1200 easily - what are the chances this would clock to the same kind of results? If not, what happens? Will it clock the Asus to whatever the other is running at automatically, or will it just continue to run faster?

Also, with CF do you need the connector between the cards like you used to with SLI or does it work without it, as I don't know where mine is?!

LiE · 25 Mar 2011 at 14:42

You need the connector.

Gilval · 25 Mar 2011 at 14:59

The Crossfire Bridge should be in the box with the card

chrisarm · 25 Mar 2011 at 15:15

Ooooh might get two of these instead of a 6950

You know it's more badass when you have 2 cards

It will go as fast as the slowest card would go.
