AMD Radeon HD 5870 and 5850 Pricing Revealed We can also confirm the price information on Radeon HD 5850 and Radeon HD 5870, and they will be 299USD and 399USD respectively. Even if we don't have any benchmarks to share, we have it on good authority that AMD's new Radeon HD 5800 series will bring between 25-40% better performance than current generation, depending on games and application. The card will use 1GB GDDR5 memory but 2GB models are to be expected. We have learned a bit about the overclocking potential and it seems the 40nm technology has matured well. There are talks about overclocking to 1GHz GPU with the reference cooler, which is on par with the current flagship Radeon HD 4890 in terms of overclocking ability. http://www.nordichardware.com/news,9887.html |

I quoted the most interesting part price/performance wise; there was also a piece about a "HD 5870 Six" part which would include native support for a total of 6 output displays using displayport/mini displayport |

gtx285 to be good ;). |
I think it will be on par or slightly better, seeing as HD 4890 is already a match for GTX 285 in some games |
Too bad the price for the 5870 ain't 299 as predicted first... that would have forced Nvidia to drop their prices drastically... now we will see and wait till the green team reveal their monster cards... |

Price might still drop to 299 after a few months, first AMD needs to get the money out of the early adopters' pockets :D |
