Before I tried the Catalyst 8.6 beta on 3870 and it was not good, I hope Formal release of Catalyst 8.6 won't with the poor image quality issue that was on beta version.

Less than that. This was done 9 something , so maybe 8am PST

 

[sciggy]

That's insanely awesome! $190!

It's even less than the most claimed start price. And this is before any price war with nvidia.

I just really hope it performs as well as has been claimed.

Ive been reading test after test, the french site findings etc. This is a better card than the 9800GTX

There's already a preview. It basically equal in terms of 9800gtx performance. Sometimes 260gtx performance. Even better than 8800ultra in AA performance so...

http://www.hardware.fr/articles/724-1/preview-ati-radeon-hd-4850.html

average performance of all games tested.

Well i just checked the Egg and the cheapest 9800GTX they had was 269$us..What is going to happen to all the 9600gt's AND 9800GTX'S when this 4850 blow's away the 260$ 9800gtx for 189$?

Yeah i noticed that but i knew they would have to release something against the 4850. If they could figure out a way to get the 260 around 200-250 that would be a killer card!

Wow, that's pretty nice. So pretty much the 4850 and 9800gtx will both be $200.

That's pretty good.

the 9800gtx+ looks intriguing though...

Nvidia selling overcloked 9800gtx and adding a plus? There are already OC versions of card from 3rd manufacturer. At least the prices are dropping.

 

[JAYDEEJOHN]

Yeah, but theres still people wanting ti buy the old GTX for 270 . Shameful

 

[yadge]

That's funny.... 4 people in a row used the same quote from jaydeejohn.

 

[asymetriccircle]

any word on how well these new cards run f@h? i just installed the gpu2 client on my 8800gt and it pulls like 4500ppd running the 177.35 drivers with modded inf. if i can sell the 8800 and get something like this for minimal out of pocket cost and get better game performance and folding then damn. 190 bucks is a steal as far as im concerned.

 

[JAYDEEJOHN]

Ive tried finding links for comparisons, anyone? F@H is so new for nVidia its tough to find a link

 

[yadge]

What I really want to see is a 1gb version of the 4850...
