	http://www.anandtech.com/show/5625/amd-radeon-hd-7870-ghz-edition-radeon-hd-7850-review-rounding-out-southern-islands The AMD Radeon 7850 and 7870 have launched priced at $250 and $350. Beats it's Nvidia rivals the 570 and 560 Ti. Heck the 7870 seems to give the GTX 580 a run for it's money. And since Nvidia's Kepler is not here yet, AMD can pretty much price these cards at whatever they like. Kinda crazy seeing a "mid range" type card price at $350 now. But then the 7970 is priced at $600, so things are moving up.

	Was reading about cards earlier. They are not interested in fighting on price atm. I am still holding out for nvidia card and hope prices drop a little then. I will upgrade sometime within the next 3-4 months. -----signature----- http://gimpchimp.etilader.com/display.php?user=lonestarr 3500+ solo kills & Lone Enforcer WAR - IronRock Dest- Energist, Moogabooga SWTOR - KV - Energist, Moogabooga

	My 6870 still runs everything I throw at it smooth as silk. I always skip one generation anyway (went from 4890 to 6870).

	5870 here, and at 1920x1200 it still runs all on high quality. Seems like the 6- and 7-series have had only very marginal improvements over the 5-series. I guess games are not pushing the hardware development anymore. -----signature----- Men do not differ much about what things they will call evils; they differ enormously about what evils they will call excusable. ~ G.
