any news on price slash for HD5850 ?

gtx460 is fighting with HD5830 and gtx460 wins in almost all games. Im seeing AMD will drop the price of 5830 and 5850 .... good news to us, price wars

IF 5850 come down to 239 I will buy 5850 ..... else I will buy 460 1GB

we want price cut only!! gtx460 pwns 5830 or whatever not so important bcoz nvidia so damn noob took so long time to kill ati's card. so disappointing!!

time for ati to drop 5850 price..im not paying RM900++ for it now..dont dissapoint me ati i have been waiting this for a long time already..if not im off to nvidia

hehe..89.99 can leh

800 bucks for 5850..will be very very sweet for me..time to retire 3870 for good

if higher than 1920x1080, 5850 has the advantage
lower than that, the gtx460 is close behind (not if its overclocked)

Galaxy GeForce GTX 460 Super OC 1GB 

This GC, priced only at RM775, OWNED the stock 5850! 
I've check most benchmarks such as on Tweaktown, Tom's HW, etc. and this GC is either equal or a tad bit faster than the 5850 default clocks...

What does this means? 
I will reconsider what I said before about the 5850 would not have a price drop because it desperately needs it to counter these premium OC'ed GTX460's...

Of course a 900mhz/1200 @ 1.15v OC'ed HD5850 can beat the OC'ed GTX460 without the slightest of a doubt, but the GTX460 already proves that it has thread into the 5850's (stock) territory...while being approx. RM200 cheaper! 
Oh about the hopelessly and almost non-contributory 5830, that cards needs to drop the price waay lower, almost close to the current 5770 price while the 'bang~for~the~bucks' 5850 indeed needs to drop the price a bit, (and don't forget price drop for the 5770 as well, Cross-Fire!!!!!)
With these three cards having a drop in their price, ATi will for sure counter big time any Nvidia's ploy to win over the GC market...
haha, I miss this price war...consumers are smiling again after more than half a year of Red domination...

ATi folks keep their cards close...but the Nvidia cards closer! 
I re-apply my 5850 with Tuniq TX-3, improved by 5c  @IDLE, and 7c @LOAD, it's worth it!
but so far as I concerned, Asus won't let you open up the cooler...

between 5850 and GTX470 , which one more good in performance ? wondering sry if wrong thread

Another question for you guys!

can different brand of hd5770 be crossfire?

like asus hd5770 with sapphire hd5770?

hi guys, if i want to buy a new GC, my budget is around rm 250 to 300max. what new GC can i buy?

and what if i am going to buy a second hand GC, with that range of budget. what is the best buck GC i can get?

is it good? or 5000 series is better than 4000 series?

i am using 500W true power supply.

If your FPS is already over 60, a wiser choice might be not to touch it.

Geforce GTX465 and Geforce GTX460 is overall weaker than the Radeon HD5850.
Geforce GTX470 is just like 5-10% better than a Radeon HD5850.
I don't see a point you change to Geforce GTX460 or Geforce GTX465. It's like a downgrade.   

Alright, had just ran a benchy with 3DMark Vantage. 
[Powercolor 5850 stock clock @ 725/1000 ]

10.3 (the first driver to leap in performance and stability) vs. 10.4 (best WHQL driver so far for the the Catalyst 10 series)  vs. 10.7 (current up-to-date driver)
let's see the progression:

10.3
[attachmentid=1695370]

10.4
[attachmentid=1695371]

10.7
[attachmentid=1695372]

From this synthetic benchmark:
I'm reluctant to say that the Catalyst Team has 'hit the wall' in bringing out more performance from the 5 Series, but somehow it's inevitable to say that the results indicates them running out of ideas of how to 'boost up' the performance majorly...only about 200 points improved from Vantage isn't convincing data....at least I was expecting 15xxx points
