The source is either wrong or wasn't clear about which model the pricing was for, it only listed "cypress" pricing of $299, but the 5850 is cypress as well.
I also think $299 would be too low for 295 performance...

This is a 1GB GPU correct?

A single card that runs at 295 performance level, with 1GB of memory, and DX11 for $299 would be outstanding in my book...

That would change the pricing of all GPU's on the shelf, yet to be sold.
Good for the consumer, but bad for the GPU dealers.

Guess we will have to wait and see.
