Price of GTX 275

[Midlife Crisis]

I see that the XFX XXX Gtx 275 has gone up by another £10 a bit steep as another site or 2 has Gtx 275's from as low as £160 for a bog standard card to £174 for a souped up one.
Are these cards still worth getting?
and no I do not want a 5770

I have a 275 and i think it is a great card but i would push a bit further and get an hd 5850 as it seems to be the card to get fot now and the future.

Get a 4890 if you don't want a 5770.

 

[Midlife Crisis]

It would be £70-80 more for a 5850 is one of these card that much faster than a Gtx 275?
yes I know a 5850 is DX 11

 

[Martini1991]

The 5850 is leaps and bounds better than a GTX275.

That doesn't look like leaps and bounds to me.

 

[Th3D0n]

dose to me!

Nearly the speed of a 4850 difference between a gtx275 and a 5870

Vantage comparing ftl.

WOW...Going by that chart the 5850 is only about 15% faster then a GTX 275..

The 5850 is leaps and bounds better than a GTX275.

I also wouldn't call about 15% faster as leaps and bounds better..

If there were both the same price to buy then that would be different

 

[Midlife Crisis]

Is the 15 percent speed increase worth the extra £80? [if you can find a 5850 in stock anywhere that is ]

Yes because it will overclock to the speed of a 5870 i think

 

[Martini1991]

That benchies trash.
A 5850 at the same clocks as the 5870 will perform almost the same.

 

[rolypolyman]

All that shows me is that the 5850 is overhyped and overpriced when compared to the 'old' cards.
