The 5870 will be £250 the end
negative

Stop arguing over price, none of you know what the prices are actualy going to be and no amount of shouting "NO YOU!" is going to change that.
NO YOU
haha juz kidding, seriously though its not going to be long before we find out, but I would say that demand for the cards is going to be ultra high (assuming the performance is descent) and you just know they will cost a bomb.

I think some of you need to get out and enjoy the summer a bit more

As long as the 5870 outperforms the GTX285 then the price could justifiably be higher. However, I think that ATI will do their best to blow NVIDIA out of the water until they release their next gen. Just a guess but the 5870 will be the same or slightly undercut the GTX285 in price and may settle at £200 until the GT300's arrive.
Let's wait and see who's right

Until nvidia release their card then we can all argue with which is better value again.
I'm hoping the is true and if so i'll definitely be picking one up.
Of course if it's only slightly faster then a GTX285 then I won't.

ive been readin this thread for a while now and though i would post as im planning on getting a new pc soon as these cards come out. it Would seem like the place where im gettin the card maybe has them in stock already and is just waiting for ati to let them sell them...
according to the email.
heres the mail i got.
Dear Sir/Madam,
Thank you for your recent email.
We will be launching the new 5 series card within the next week and half, once we have been given the go ahead from ATI.
If you can provide me with the following details I will be able to create a quotation for you answering all your queries and also advise you once the graphics card have been launched.
I might be readin it wrong but it sounds good to me.

if that happens it should be very close to Nvidia's next gen, hopefully it stays that way.
Lucky ATi are coming out first with their cards, if it were them being late then Nvidia would be charging stupid prices until ATi would have released theirs.
in that case lets see some quotations

I am pretty sure they will be faster, I remember seeing a video of one of the designers of the 4xxx and stating that they have a solid roadmap based on the technology etc.
Nvidia need to be more cost effective IMO, they may be able to create a fast GPU but I doubt, as it is currently, be able to offer it at a decent price point. It's interesting to see they are battling on other fronts (free glasses, PhysX etc) but to me they are out of touch with the consumer...I'm expecting it now, 285s to be renamed to 360s

I think Nvidia need to start pushing the boundaries first and thinking about cost second. ATI have handed them the high end, but they seem unwilling to really push high end cards out. Everything they build is over the top cost wise and only slightly faster.
If they can start living up their own marketing hype with the next card, then I think it will give some options when Intel start making cards.
If ATI do start to get cards out of the door in September time, and Nvidia cant respond before Christmas then I am pritty sure Nvidia will skip this round as ATI could hit back with beefed up DX11 cards for a even lower price. I doubt ATI would do this, but I am sure that would be the thinking at Nvidia.

On a hardware forum about graphics card yet to release, ooft, not much gets past you son
Speculation, is all it ever was and is, from any of us, tis the point.

Stop being so smarmy, that's the problem. You're so full of smarm, then complain when some one makes a comments about the fact that you're 'speculating' without actually using your brain.
There's speculation, and then there's idiot thought. You're doing the latter.
