not sure who would know that you are the first one to get this card since it is hidden under the case , which is usually preorder - way too expensive. Not like Iphone.

I have a graphics card I bought in Jan 2008 and it STILL plays today's games with max settings at 1920x1200 resolution. There's no reason to buy a new graphics card.

You assume that everyone has a graphics card from Jan 2008 that still plays today's games with max settings at 1920x1200 resolution.

Yes, but can your graphics card play DX11 enhanced games? This thing is a freaking sweet bargain, thanks OP.
Bit-streams DTS_HD & True-HD from Blu-Ray to your receiver. only way before this was buying an Asus card that was either $130 or $200. Some may want the analogue out, but i made it a point not to buy another card until they would bitstream.

I'm sure his comment was intended to waste our time reading and responding to it, and while I'm at it, here are some benefits: -DirectX 11 capable -Single-card solution that can handle high-res -What MeIsCheap above me stated, and man is that sweet to have all of those video outputs -<$300 for one of the newest/best single-card, single-GPU solutions out there -For those people that play new games with settings cranked, your minimum FPS rates during high-action won't be as low as your older cards
My last point just above is why most people will buy a new video card. I play my games with eye-candy sky high. I got my eyes used to that back in 2001, a few months after I started playing Half-Life Deathmatch and started getting used to high framerates with settings maxed. Since then, I always buy the video card that can play my PC games with an average of roughly 100FPS. I only play L4D and TF2 really nowadays when I have time, which is why my HD4890 is plenty for. I don't need this upgrade, but I can FEEL the need for those out there that play newer games than I do. I support those people in this post!!

The 5850 is rated as the 2nd fastest GPU on the market ($260) .... 1st place goes to it's big brother 5870 ($380). A full product review for AMD's Radeon HD 5850 If you can afford the ride, check out the fastest GPU on the market .... AMD's Radeon HD 5870 graphics processor Speed is not the only advantages for above cards. They run cooler, use less power (idle and max push).

Spot on. The only thing giving the 5850 a run for its money is the dual gpu setups at a much higher price point (and electricity point), and the 5870 goes even further.
I think the 5850 will be the top dog (at it's price point) for a few months. Rumor has it that nvidia will only compete with lower prices for right now.

Yes, but ATI's multimonitor "Eyefinity" solution is so much cooler, and doesn't require purchasing a special 120Hz LCD display. Wow, that's the first I heard of "Eyefinity"... sickening!! But how does that keep you from needing 120hz? I play with vsync disabled on my LCDs as they are 60hz and vsync enabled caps me at 60fps. I've been waiting for a time I can afford a 120hz (or beyond) LCD so I can re-enable vsync the way I used it for years back with my 21" CRT.
