ATI 4850 to ATI 5850

I've had this card for years and it's done me good.
Had to upgrade because I just bought BF3.

Did I make a good choice? I was going to pick up the 7XXX series but that's just too long of a wait and I couldn't pass this deal up.

HD 7000 series will be announced on December 22nd with widespread release on January 9th, less than a month away.

If you've waited this long with a HD 4000 series card I would wait just 1 more month.

The HD 7000 series is supposed to come in priced at like $499 for 7950 and $599 for 7970, so you might consider a HD 6950 at $299 or less, whatever it is now.

U got 50-75% more performance, so u tell us.
I went from a 4850 to 6850 and I'm quite happy with the boost and the overall efficiency of the card, but MORE POWAR IS NEEDED!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah seems like the 7000's series are close.
Thx guys, I'm sure i'll be happy with the 5850!
