[zalbard]

It is around 240-300 USD in USA, not sure about AU prices, probably a bit more expensive.

You will like the 5850

Last night I had mine running at 1026/1201

Pretty sick card for the money

You could wait for new nvidia fermi chip to get on markets so that 5970 will get cheaper.

[Necetra]

You can either wait for Fermi (unknown wait though), or grab a 5850 and overclock the hell out of it.

In AU all the high end cards are expensive as, Cheapest youll find a 5850 from an online computer store is probably about 400.

http://skycomp.com.au has the HIS ATI HD5850 for $383 australian, and shipping is $15-$30

EDIT: Calculated that shipping is $17 to Perth postcode 6000, so thats exactly $400 :D
