    Yeah ... I was buying 5870s second hand on ebay for £250-£280 just 3 weeks ago ... now that's almost the price new.

    Gotta love progress ;)

    who knows, when the Fermi revisions get up to the high end and they manage the full 512 cores ... I might be tempted LOL.

    at least it's reference without any cut-downs.

    hope nVidia will release gtx475, 485 line of cards, with full pipeline. im in the market for a top nVidia card, nearly fed up with MPC's laggy low bit-rate videos.

    Same as the above post. Want to ditch my 260 GTX SLI config and a 485 GTX would do me fine.

    Took a quick look and didn't see and price drops for it over here.
