The 6870 is the upgrade from the 5850. The 6850 will perform the same.

As for the processor, I would definitely wait for AMD's bulldozer.

The 6850 wont perform the same as the 5850 at all, it'll be faster. The review site benchmarks are wrong for the most part. They put it at 30 (ish)% faster than the previous generation.

Also lol at your avatar and my previous post.

My eyes are open, I was informing you that you were wrong. So much for being helpful.

The point is you were being a **** about it.

The 6870 is the 5770 upgrade & Yes, I now agree with you that it will probably be quicker than the 5850, but not as quick as the current 5870. Either way, I think for the first month or so they are going to be overpriced and very hard to find, just like the 5 Series launch. It took me about 1.5 months to grab a 5850, and still paid over the odds for it.

Also, the ROG brand may just be a marketing thing, but their Crosshair IV board is the best AM3 overclocking board out there. I'd say they did pretty good.

If you want to discuss this topic further, I would recommend a real computing forum. No offense, but habbox isn't really the place for this kind of discussion.

(Also I don't own a ROG board and probably never will intend to. I just thought it was a nice logo.)
