Hd5870 - $299

Here is what was my point.
The HD 5870 is described on most sites as the high-end single GPU card. The HD 5850 is usually described as the mid-range or performance level card.



I doubt the top prices are HD 5850 cards, when PowerColor published this:


PS
For example, would you describe the GTX 260 as nVidia high end card.

Only problem is that 5850 is supposed to be a Cypress card. So if Cypress = high end then 5850 = high end. I believe AMD sees it like this:

Hemlock: ultra high end (4870X2/4890)
Cypress: high end (4870/4850)
Juniper: performance (4600-series)
Cedar + Redwood: mainstream and entry (4500 and 4300-series)

HD 4850 was NEVER refer to as high end card.

[Calmatory]

HD 4850 was NEVER refer to as high end card.

Not even when there was no X2 available?


Then what is it supposed to be refered as?

[hurleybird]

HD 4850 was NEVER refer to as high end card.

Neither was the 3870. Your point?
