Remember when the 5850 launched in September it was supposed to retail for ~$270?
And all these months later the 5850 is still over $300.
Without competition from the green team (and with continued high demand) price points for the 5830 and 5850 are too high.
The 5830 is pegged to sell at around $260ish but I doubt they'll sell many so near the 5850 price.
So prices won't probably adjust very much until NV gets it's act together, imho.
Then it will get interesting again.
Still, Another Xlnt review, & ThnX
