well, you have to think of costs for gpu packaging, gpu testing, pcb, components, memory, heatsink, testing again...

overall i think a 5870 costs amd around 200$ to make and a 5850 around 180$.
this is normal though, think of how much gt200 cards used to cost, and while yields improved and there are cheaper pcbs, that doesnt change the price THAT much... 260s are almost 150$ retail now, they used to be over 300$ iirc...
