Which 5850?

Hi peeps

I am wondering which is the best 5850 to get frome the ones below.

Going to order it from scan next Friday so thats why i have only listed the cards which are in stock

Not bothered if it comes bundled with a game as I will probably never get around to downloading it

Thanks

I would wait until the GTX470 and GTX480 are released next week TBH. Also if you are paying over £250 for an HD5850 1GB you might as well get an HD5870 1GB as a few have been available for under £300 recently.

Looked into upgrading my 9800GTX+ to one of these (when Bad Company 2 was constantly CTD) and I really liked the Vapor-X model.

I would say see what price the toxic drops downs to a few weeks after the new nvidia cards come out.

I have this on order. May have to wait a couple of weeks.

I swear the 5850s were dead cheap (ie sub £200) when they first came out.

Yep thwe powercolor ones were £199.99 once with Ebuyer with dirt 2. But I read to avoid that brand.

Powercolors PCS cards are decent from what I've seen.

Yep I thought that but read one guy saying all 3 of this went bang. Must have been a dogy psu :)

So do the differences in speeds for the 5850s make much difference?

the max size monitor i will be using will be 1080p

I wish i could get a 5870 but I could use the extra cash to go towards a fan controller.

I was going to say wait for friday and see if any go on "today only" however looking at the very limited stock the chance of one going on today only is not so good.

Amazon have the toxics for £230 now. Come on scan do use a nice deal on a 5850. EBuyer OCUK Amazon and even that ARIA place all have had some nice prices.

My Powercolor 4870 also went bang just over a year old.
