GTS250 1gb 125$ 36% 21% -15
HD4850 1gb 125$ 35% 21% -14

i wonder how many 295 and 285 cards nvidia and its partners are still selling at those price points...
I'm thinking very few! the 295 isn't being sold at most online retailers anymore, and the GTX 285 is $50 more than the 5850 but slower... Most reviews put the 5870 above the GTX 295 as well once the 10.1 drivers came out for ATI, so really it's even further ahead in price/performance.

I like your style saaya, you put a lot of thought into your posts!
