i wonder why ati released 6000 series to kill 5850 and 5870, they are selling much more cheaper and forced 5000 series to drop price massively. are they ignoring any consequences just to compete against gtx460? now our 5000 series card resale value are like piece of shit

it's fair enough given the fact dat 5k series price was solid for a year.
in fact, it went up.

they released 6000 series made every1 who owned a 5000 series card regret..

the difference between 5000 series and 6000 is not tat much~the owner of 5000 series still can stick wif it, or look for cheap 5000 seris for CF~

hmm, if this is the case, lagi not worth to get 460 super clock dy default clock can already beat 460 OC at lower price.



the most important thing is the price and performance, in this case, u can get cheaper solutions by saving at least 50-100bucks as well this money can buy a great dinner for ur gf dy.

moore's law dude,you gotta accept that it's a fact.plus why wouldn't they?the HD6800 will sell as good as the HD5800 since the performance is really close,plus the die is smaller so it's cheaper to make
i've noticed a lot of butthurt HD5800 owners recently,here and in garagesales

there are no moore's law effect between 5 series and 6 series. 6 series is a tweaked version of 5 series and in fact, 6 series contained of smaller die area than 5 series.

5 series already 1 year old..
and it's twice the performance since the 4 series.. what else to regret..
my 3 and 4 series sub 1k also have a lower 2nd hand price..

Got myself a very cheap used 4870 1GB Golden Sample
It is still not a bad card ^^

yeah,after reading again about moore's law it isn't the case but the effect is still there.smaller die but still around the same level of performance.if they have the same die size the hd6000 will be even better

how much u bought it?RM3xx??

even 4850 GS is the good card..
4870 should still be good enough to play most games..

RM200

Yeah for now ^^
Using it with a 19" so at least got enough HP at least at the given resolutions

I checked Garage sales, all the HD48 series selling around RM3XX

The RM200 was a steal so I faster grab it. It is from an outside source

u are so lucky man resell it for RM3xx at garage sales and get 5000 series~haha

5 series still haven't get to the point of my liking yet the price
Wait a little more, no rush

Besids, HD69xx is just around the corner now

nah, it depends on d user, im an owner of 5850 and still happy bout it as its provide me more than enough...tech goes fast n u cant catch it unless ur wallie is biggg...
5850 should keep me till NI or mayb over NI but still, d price drop do hurt my heart

5850 user (like me) bought the card last year October (or last year. period.) with the price remains the same for a whole year, that's plain great!
It's the recent other remaining 5850 user's who bought the card in mid~ish 2010 who are feeling down a bit.

Paid nearly RM1k for the performance of the 5850 is not that bad during the 2009-2010 era (yeah, graphic card are easily outdated!), and still not that bad to still keep using it for the next 1 year.

BUT I keep my finger crossed until the 69xx series will be launched near Xmas, prolly will make the 58xx users regret for sure IF the price is reasonable! ....but speaking for the 58xx user's let's hope not

lucky me last time i bought my brand new XFX 5850 for RM 8XX only hahahaha.. ok butthurt people dont flame me please lol

u guys meks me sad......
owning 5850 still complain butt-hurt......
4870 users like me shud just suicide....
