paints a slightly different picture doesnt it? not good enough?



how about this one:

http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/radeon-hd-5850,2433-13.html

so, 5870cf vs 5850cf; thats a difference of 81watts in tweaktown's review, and 92watts in tom's. so how would that make easy's 5850 cf lacking graph look?

something like that.

I was thinking about the residual issue of both cards (assume basic values), and it might be that the 6850 will hold more value in the longer term. I base that on looking at 4xxx vs 5770 prices 2nd hand. The 5770 is still for sale so explains the higher value and the DX11, so might be a slightly different situation to 5850/6850 which almost have the same feature set.
