Thought I'd share this, seems like a bargain. Radeon 5850 @ £108 from OCUKPrice is for today only.

Wow, if only I had £108 I'd get some crossfire going on at that price.

Hmmm, I was considering looking into a new GFX card, is this worth it?

I'm seriously happy with mine, cost me about £200. Not had any trouble running any games so far at all. Definitely worth the £100

Well to be put into context, I have 2xATI 4870s in Crossfire, so is it worth upgrading to 5850?

I found it was a decent enough change up from a 4850 but I'm not sure about 2 4870s. Maybe if you buy 2 and want some DirectX 11 goodness.

Just done some reading for you, buying a single 5850 really isn't worth it unless you want Dx11

Thats is not 2 4870's btw it's the single PCB twin gpu outfit. I had one and it's about comparable to the 5870 I have now in terms of performance.
