This is unintentionally very funny (i know Evan)

"It is a card that has a lot of potential for overclocking, just take a look at overclocking results for other Barts-based graphics cards," said Mr. Groenke, adding that overclocking voids warranty.

damn newegg and price changes.

The 5830 was $140 -> $110 AR earlier. Now it's $160->$130. Still a better deal than the 6790, unless someone is really constrained by power requirements. But even still, the 5830 is not bad in this regard.

There are some 6850s in the $14x range now AR. Better than the 5830 IMO.
Once the 6790 drops to the $120less range it should be a better seller.
