lol, what? the 7850 offers the same performance per dollar as the previous gen's 6850 launch price never mind street price. in fact all the 7800 and 7900 series cards offered the same or less performance per dollar from the cards they replaced and that is a fact.I'm going to disagree with the performance per $ getting worse the last couple of years. The AMD 7850 offers more performance than any previous card at $230-250 .

The pricing on the current gen cards is preposterous. Any upcoming 200$?
I read that the GTX660 will be coming later this year... at 300-330$
You mean GTX660 Ti, and I'm pretty sure it'll be sub $300. Anyway, GTX660 non-ti should be close to the $200 mark. And after the release of 660 Ti, maybe 7850 price will drop.
There's really nothing in the $200 market worth getting right now. I've been itching to upgrade my 6850, but there's no worthwhile upgrade within my budget without making some serious compromises in what I want from my card.

lol so what I said is unfair but what you said is?It is always unfair to compare performance per watt against cards in other price brackets. The best price/performance cards usually are lower midrange. The 7850 cost the same as and easily outperforms the 6950 did at launch, meaning performance per dollar has improved.

the 7850 replaces the 6850
sorry but that is just stupid. first off the 7770 was slower than the 6850 and a 7850 is only about 5% faster than a 6950.The 7770 had the same launch price as the 6850.
The 7850 had the same launch price as the 6950.
I base what cards are in the value/mid-range/high-end segments based on price, not some silly 4-digit identifier. This year's $179 card is faster than last year's. This year's $249 card is faster than last year's.
