With PSUs you REALLY get what you pay for. Buying a cheap Power supply means you'll get second rate caps, no filters and a non modular design meaning it wont last long, it'll be unstable and you'll have a bunch of un used cables clogging up your case

Fuck!
Just as I am about to order myself a 5770 I read that ATI will release the 5830 in a couple of weeks, which will position itself between the 5770 and 5850. Price probably around €200,-
Will it be worth waiting for?
Opinions, please ...
(and for all you 5850/70 lovers: No, I'm not willing to pay €300,- for a graphic card)

Firstly, the 5770 will still be a good card and should be even cheaper for you when that new one comes out.
I personally would take advantage of the 5770,
if the price drops properly
. If it doesn't change, or the new card is fractionally more expensive, then the new card is the way to go.
Ultimately, for me it's this question: Is the new card's price close to that of the 5770, while offering much more from a technical angle (i.e. more memory or speed etc).
If the cards are close technically, and the price of the 5770 drops then I'd go for the 5770 no questions. Its a good card and offers the best "bang for buck" in that range.
Hope this ramble helps
BTW! BIG difference is that the 5770 uses GDR5... the 5830 uses DDR3 or GDDR3 (whatever that is). GDR5 is good stuff, see some reviews on the memory bandwidth, the higher number is the better. I bought a Radeon ATI 4770 instead of a 4830 for this reason, it had a narrow memory bus (128bit) but much faster ram so the performance of the card was very good over the 4830 (which was more expensive).
http://www.amd.com/us/products/notebook/graphics/ati-mobility-hd-5800/Pages/hd-5830-specs.aspx
http://www.amd.com/us/products/desktop/graphics/ati-radeon-hd-5000/hd-5770/Pages/ati-radeon-hd-5770-specifications.aspx
The other difference is the number of displays that can be driven (the 5830 does more)

Thx Junta, but I'm not sure the link is correct for the 5830.
This says "Mobility Radeon", which are intended for notebooks.
From what little info I so far have seen it will apparently have GDR5, and supposedly 1280 shader processors (in comparison to the 800 of the 5770). Depending on takt rate and memeory interface it might be well worth a few extra bucks.
Bad thing is that I will have to wait to find out (and I have just purchased Bioshock2 which would look so much better on a new GC
)

Srt for that link error. Didn't spot the mistake
I'd wait it out Tea. At least see the price of the 5830 before deciding if it offers the correct performance increase over the cost of a 5770?

5870's are slowly coming back into stock now, so when they are freely available they will drop price, which may or may not push the other cards prices down too

Yes, and the upcoming GF100 (aka Fermi) should help maximize the effect. But I hate it when I'm forced to be being rational ...

What do you guys think will happen to 5850 prices when The GtX470 is released next week I've read that they will be about 5-10% faster than the 5850, but no info on price. I'm looking to replace my struggling 8800gt this payday but don't know if it's worth hanging on a bit for a price drop.
