I just wish someone would sell them nice and plain... I love the mock-up of one up there by Asus ^[/QUOTE] Just buy it from an aftermarket seller. XFX usually puts them in green although I see they are doing red now aswell.
[QUOTE=Robbazking;17379913]At least it's big, so if a burglar breaks in and you got nothing else to grab than a ati hd5870 you can use it as a blunt object.[/QUOTE] What scenario did you have in your head that made that idea work?
Shouldn't the 5870X2 be out today?
"Hold up a sec there, thief! I'll just screw open my case and unscrew my huge graphics card and unplug it from the power supply and motherboard so I can hit you over the head with it, now let me just fetch a screwdriver...."
[QUOTE=callumshell;17406287]Shouldn't the 5870X2 be out today?[/QUOTE] 5850 and 5870 come out on the 23rd this month, 5870x2 will come out near the end of next month.

My birthday is October 3rd, I hope I get enough money to get a 5870. If not, I could always grab a 5850.

What's the estimated price on the 5870X2? I'm guessing around 600 USD?

[QUOTE=Watevaman;17416892]What's the estimated price on the 5870X2? I'm guessing around 600 USD?[/QUOTE] I believe the numbers given so far are $300 for the 5850, $400 for the 5870 and $600 for the 5870X2. Or $299, $399, and $599 if you want to be anal about it.
well, i beleive quite a few of you will be either dissapointed, or pleased when they release with the benches.

Oh yeah.
Apparantly Nvidia's cards will be releasing on November and are significantly more powerful than ATI's 5 series, now I don't know wether to wait or buy a 5870, it could be Nvidia spewing more crap to take away from ATI's release thunder.
Dont know about everyone else, but did they do anything about noise? One thing I liked about nvidia is there cards are most often more quiet than ati's. fyi I went from a 8800GT to a 4870 right now. Loudest thing in my HAF.

What, did you expect it to sound like gentle kitten farts?
[QUOTE=Second-gear-of-mgear;17419998]Well it's a strong card... What, did you expect it to sound like gentle kitten farts?[/QUOTE] GTX285/295 are alot quieter.
