The gates are open indeed! I just picked up a Sapphire 4850 for a total of $215 Canadian including taxes! Online retailers in the country have started to sell PowerColor versions for around $200 as well.

This card is HOT - idles at mid 70s!

Well look at that, this isn’t the first time those crooks at Hexus have played favourites with corporate bullies. 

Seeeeeeeeeeeeeeellouts!!!

So the inquirer prides itself on not taking part in an NDA yet all of its "friends" are obviously a part of the NDA. They have the "more to show" bs thing going on. Maybe someone needs to wind up their keys so they can clang their cymbals a bit more, the monkeys.

You use their crappy, prostituted form of "journalism" to write articles while patting yourselves on the back that you are "keeping it real" by not signing NDA's. That is pretty sad. 

Where did Theo go??

Thats so weird! so so weird, I was on HEXUS earlier and saw a preview that showed the 4850 floping against a 8800gt badly....

Ooh and by magic it's... it's.... it's GONE!

Funny how it wasn't consistant with any other previews??? must of been some kinda mistake.

Oh and btw Hexus also happens to be in bed with scan and scan charges £150 still for an OC 3870. Up to date nVidia pricing though! right on the ball with that one and all those front page nvidia adverts.

Probably just me being parinoid I guess :)
