You know what, I can't remember I'll check tonight and let you know.

I had a sneaky feeling there would be a card like this, do we know if it unlocks shaders/cores?

I would guess that these are cards with enough faulty shaders/cores that they can not qualify as a 470 or 480.

Was unaware of the price of these things until I saw them in TWO...
LOL, madness to buy one of those.

As others have said, that fan looks to small for the Thermal profile of that card. These will probably end up being disappointingly loud when overclocked.

The phrase mid range is being thrown around loosely, for me a mid range card costs somewhere between £90 to £140, this is a top end card that just so happens to perform badly.

I thought there was only me left that remembers last year and the year before when you could buy a really good card (at the time, obviously) for those kind of prices. My 260 falls into that bracket. I'm not budging


*unless the Valve surprise turns out to be Half-Life 3/ep3 that makes use of a faster card and/or DX11

Tell me about it. My current card, a pre-overclocked 8800GT which luckily has been able to run even higher clocks, cost me £163 inc. in November 07. Where's the current equivalent at that price today? Nowhere, that's where!

I have posted this till the cows come home. You used to get two dollars to the pound. Graphics cards don;t cost any more than they did (in fact less accounting for inflation/retail price index), it's the exchange rate which makes them look expensive.

x1950xtx $449
8800 GTX $599
8800 Ultra $799
gtx 280 $649
9800 GX2 $599
HD 4870 $299
HD 5870 $379
HD 5970 $599
GTX 480 $499

So the gtx 480 is only $50 more expensive than a x1950xtx was and $100 cheaper than a 8800GTX.

The big difference is we don;t get $2 to the pound anymore so it makes the cards 33% more expensive than they were.

5850's should be £150 and the list price of a gtx465 makes it £140. Doesn;t help that you can't buy the card for that over here but don;t blame the manufacturer.

EDIT: And the gtx260 had a list price of $449 at launch only $50 less than a gtx480 top of the range card is now, they only dropped it after AMD released the 4870 for $299.

EDIT2: The 8800GT had a list price the same as the 5850 is today, so that's you mid range card there

Exactly. At least you had the option of a cheaper/faster GTX 260 18 months later. I have well and truly been backed into the sensible corner.

I was like "oh ..." until I saw the price tag ... FAIL

I'm not spending £230 on a card that isn't a pretty big upgrade on what I have now, whatever the exchange rate is.

Looks like an airfix kit which somebody forgot to paint!

Damn, you beat me to it. Seriously though, it REALLY looks like that...

 

[Leviathan]

whats the power consumption of these ? compaired to then earist 5xxx card ?.

 

[RavenXXX2]

Same power usage as ATI's top single GPU card released in September 2009 lol
