Thing is indeed , now they are head to head in price ( 5850 and 6870 ) But how much did the 5850 retail at at launch ? Don't think it retailed at 230 euro region.(but could be wrong here) Even with just 2 crossfire 6850's you got plenty of power for a very affordable price... and boy to these cards run cool...

Good job Nvidia with the 460 series ( all but the SE bah edition) and ATI with their 6850 and 6870 cards !! A lot of gamers will get good performance for the buck this Xmas !!
