New computer build - Page 3

ATI, graphics business unit of Advanced Micro Devices, on Monday said that it would increase the price of its ATI Radeon HD 5850 graphics processing unit (GPU) by $20+ due to overwhelming demand towards the new graphics cards as well as increased costs of components and logistics.

“Due to the accelerated ramp of the ATI Radeon HD 5800 series products to meet overwhelming demand at a time when a recovering computer industry is limiting supply on some parts, AMD is incurring higher component, memory and logistics costs. While many of our products are impacted by these increased costs to varying degrees, we are only adjusting pricing on the ATI Radeon HD 5850 product at this time,” said Jay Marsden, a spokesperson for the company.

Some of the parts arrived yesterday and the rest should be getting here today. There is still no word on the gfx card though. I'm just waiting for Amazon to get restocked. While it's been almost 2 weeks since I ordered it, it's a good thing I did. Despite AMD already jacking up the price by $20, most places are trying to charge people as much as $320 for the same card, I have it reserved at Amazon for $260.

Whenever the rest of the goodies arrive, I'll put them all in a pile and take pictures.

The video card is finally on the way, hopefully I'll have everything up and running by the middle of next week.

If anyone is still looking for a 5850, newegg just got some of the Sapphire versions in stock. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814102857

could u tell me what kind of temps you see w/ that case? i was thinkign of gettign an Antec 900 two, but the HAF looks interesting too :p its a more vulgar looking case in some ways which is good.

you can bios flash your sapphire to unlock the overclock limit. I have mine at 900/1200 atm.

I can't really speak to the temps right now, but with all the fans running and the sides off, things are shockingly quiet.
