No price cuts for ATI 5830?

[konakona]

What's there to be curious about? Plenty of reviews have already tested 5770 CF up to 2560 x 1600 with 8xAA and 16xAF.

as in I was too lazy to search?

thanks for the linkies, 5770 does look quite good. In my case though, 5850 is the only option since my mobo lacks a second pci-e slot for CF.

Power Color Review by PureOverclock

"Ther PCS+ 5830 requires no additional PCI-E power connector, since the card draws a power limit that can be provided through the motherboard alone, less than 75W at full load."

What? There is no way that is accurate. I would take this review with a bit of skepticism if they miss the fact that the card need 2x 6 pin power connectors.

Nice catch, that's hilarious, especially since the card won't even boot without those power connectors plugged in.

I was all excited about this option since I have a crossfire mobo, but I just noticed that the second slot is only x4
