| Encouraging results, especially the SM3 scores....this is at stock so if the 4850 does over 900mhz easy like the 38xx series bang for buck this is going to be an amazing buy. I've also heard rumours that after just a few weeks the 4850 price will settle down to 169 USD. PowerColor jumps the gun, sells HD 4850 ![]() ![]() For comparison: 9800GTX ![]()

| 15K on a OC 4850? Sweet, especially if it sells for what they are figuring. Better performance than a 9800GTX at a third of the price... Maybe Nvidia will take a hint and quit trying to rape everyone for all they can.

| Sweet... that does beat the 9800gtx, unless ATi's driver thrives as a limiting factor like their other cards

| I'm just glad i have until august to stepup. If the 280 does end up coming out at 650 and the 4870 only ends up being around 450, i'll have an excuse to get an x38 board and 2 4870s ![]()
