Since the 6xxx series has already been released for a while, what is the market like for the 5xxx series?
I've been looking at the 6850, Gigabyte windforce edition to be more specific. However, I stumbled upon an ASUS DirectCU 5850, that can overclock to 1000MHz core and ~1250MHz memory. With no intention to crossfire, is the 5850 better performance? Besides, "cutting-edge" performance costs a lot, when a 5850+ graphics can do the job just fine.
I'm looking for that "sweet spot" where I can get good performance for a GREAT value!
