This card is outstanding, it's the perfect balance between price and gaming performance. In addition, I am finding that this card in xfire seems to be out performing the 5870's in xfire.
the 5850 is only slightly slower than 5870, but with price of less than $350. this is one of the best choice a gamer can get. i absolutely love it.

What can I say!! This card is amazing. I don't have an uber rig but can easily run all games I have tried on Full Detail / Very High at 2048X1152 with 4MB DDR2, a Phenom X4 9660 running Windows 7 and a 650W PWS. CODMW2 blew my mind. I played it on my 360 but PC looks photo realistic!!
