AMD ATI Radeon HD 5850 Video Card

Our evaluation of the AMD ATI Radeon HD 5850 video card is live. Hit the link and see how this card compares to a single HD 5870 and HD 5850 CrossFireX configurations.

If you are waiting for NVIDIA to jump out of the GPU closet with a 5800 killer and put the fear into you for making a 5800 series purchase for Halloween, we suggest paper dragons are not that scary. We feel as though it will be mid-to-late Q1'10 before we see anything pop out of NVIDIA's sleeve besides its arm.

this things a beast!, and for $260... i think it will end up being more popular than the 5870 because of better price/performance ratio it seems, to me...

edit: hurry!

Looks like I need to add it above the GTX 285 then.

I wonder if its faster or slower than the HD 4870X2 though.

it's performance seems to be on the 4850x2 level with it occasonally beatinging the 4870x2. for $260 this thing is a steal
