According to corporation basis, ATI's HD 5850 is in fact being postponed plus the making should start this week. This means that retail/e-tail will observe it a bit in early by the month of October, almost certainly during the first week.

In fact, the story following this postponement is that all obtainable GPUs go for the HD 5870, but we are fairly certain that a lot of customers are waiting for the HD 5850 too. This is the typical card that has a US $259 price mark, a little that is fairly less than the declared US $379.99 price tag for the HD 5870. The price variation in Europe is just as astounding, you'll compensate €329 for an HD 5870, while and HD 5850 should charge you €229.

The HD 5850 works at 725MHz for the core plus arrives with 1GB of GDDR5 memory clocked at 1000MHz. These cards may be competent to slight the gap once partners come up with their own overclocked adaptation with non-reference coolers.
