Where is 5850?

[Fogold]

Not looking for one right now but curious there's not smoke on these boards over the apparent non availability of these cards? Thought there would be some news. Have I missed a thread?

There are posts in various threads, but not one specific thread!

Anyway, I have mine

I started the exact same thread 2 or 3 days ago and got two posts, no-one was interested. But anyway the 5850's seem to have dried up, funny that with the 5830's failing miserably due to bad pricing strategy. The 5850 was also getting too expensive making the 5870 a viable purchase. We will end up with just 5830's at £210-£220 available to buy from the Amd camp, bad timing with fermi due. Fermi best bang for buck LOL.

Yes general consensus is they're also getting too expensive. Seem to be the card of the moment though. Give it a couple o' months!
