Yea I saw that this morning, also my local computer store is taking orders for 5850 and 5870. Price jumps alot for us Canadians, dam!

NCIX Canada:
5870 449$ (429.99$ for XFX one after rebate)
5850 299$

Newegg CA:
5870 405$
5850 ?$

Newegg COM:
5870 379$
5850 ?$

They are great cards, but really its not something you need right now. Im gonna wait for the 2GB models to come out and nab one of them. By that time price will have dropped and ill get 2x the GFX memory.
 
I'm gonna hold off and get the 5850 which should be priced much less and still have great gains for performance. We'll see! Way to GO AMD/ATI!!!
 
With the 40nm Cypress chips are these still going to be power hogs? Or will they be a viable upgrade path for average (say 500W) power supplies ?
 
Not sure why some cards at the egg are more than the others?, they all are the exact same cards just with another logo on it.
 
This tempting. The 5870 from the reviews I have seen are on par with my 4870x2 and even surpass it in some instances. But, I will hold out for a 5870x2. can you imagin, 3200 SP? Whhoooossh~!
