LOL.

I will probably make the jump to budget 5 series after tax season is done with. Can't wait to see your results with the 5850

I've definitely enjoyed running this card on air, it's got some balls to it.

Ugh. WEll next month is good. Mav2000 at techreaction was complaining about poor performance with the 5850, but it appears the 9.11 betas fixed him up. No updates yet, just the mention. Thought it was worth repeating

I will have one once I get the new set up done ......
Not much of a review type person though... but will post up some bench screens here.


If all goes well may have a 70 as well
