Really good.. A 5770 goes for 100+ still.

IMO, the deal posted for that 120.00 dollar OEM 5850 is ideal for matching up to a current card for crossfire. But , if needing a new card, I'd look for similar great deals on a 6850 or for a little more a 6870.

5850s are still awesome perf/$$.

It clocks to 1ghz with a small vcore bump (1.2vcore for mine). At that speed its essentially equal to an OC 5870/6870.

You got a good chip there. Mine takes 1.287v for 1ghz. 1.175v for 950mhz. But my memory clocks to 1292mhz.
