but when the 285 was the best NV card the best of that gen was the 4890 and i got mine the summer before the hd5 launch for $150 when it was still faster than the 285 and the 285 was like $300 i think. but now we dont see the hd6 cards cheap even thought the hd7 spanks it and we also (even though it rarely happens) NV dropping the price ether so we need more cards in th eupper mid-high not top range
