first post^^^, and i cba waiting for more 5850's to come in stock, the games I play that would be mega overkill And the money saved from buying another 5850 could go towards my new cpu upgrade and some other crap lol

Also by the time you need the extra horsepower the prices (1 year from now) will be dramatically cheaper for the 5850's dontcha think? Good question is what resolution do you play at? |
