Haha, even though there's been all these replies, no one has answered my question yet. What can I expect an HD 5850 to drop to in USD? I have one, and am planning on going crossfire once the price drops.

+1

+2 for chasing Zero Around and Answering after him.


He's right though, we can speculate but until something like the fermi launch or something else happens we are at the mercy of ATI's coporate decisions.
