Paid 270 for my x1900xt when they dropped bigtime on TWO. Was a great card, and faster than the 7900GTX costing 400, especially with drivers at the time.

Just looked at some people's prices of the older cards...jeez they were nuts back then to have them at those prices...and I thought £333 was a lot for my 4870X2 when I bought it...and yet to this day it still remains the most expensive PC component I have ever paid for... go figure...and I bet the new 5870 2GB wont come close (at least here's hoping )

Has to be remembered though at the time the 2900xt was coming out a certain website no names being mentioned made them sound like the second coming and swayed quite a few sales. I am not too worried about ati pricing certainly not as much as i would worry with nvidia and while i would like to think nvidia have woken up i just can't help feeling they will releae gt3xx be a bit faster then the 5xxx series and charge more for it. Hope i am wrong and they do compete on price as well as everything else.

hd2900xt was 400$ MRSP, so its the same as me getting a hd5870 card now..... i don't feel these 400$ cards offer the best value for money really, 300$ i think is the sweet price point for performance/price

only 1 6pin connector, hopefully that means crossfire won't have horrendous power requirements lol

That 5850 pic has been called a fake on XS so it might not be real.

That's not a 5850. It's a render, and its old and very fake.
Soldato
Always find it amusing when people say stuff like that, how can you say it's a long card when you have nothing else in the picture to compare the scale?
This is the 5870 next to a 4890, hardly much longer at all.
Fake.
Soldato
Yeah it's probably fake... AMD would never produce such a stylish looking shroud.

i remember paying over £200 for an Nvidia 7900GT then selling it last year for £30.
but remember the 7950 being almost double that.
madness how quickly tech has moved on
