I am already looking for a HD4770, a 4870 or a 4870X2 at a decent price...my 2nd hand (just 45 Euro) HD3870 is already a good Milkyway cruncher (30k credits a day), these HD4xxxs ought to be even better. Might even consider a 5830 or 5850, if I can get one below 120 Euro's. These things outperform my only quad by a factor of at least 5.

I suggest you wait a little bit until the 6XXX GPUs are released by AMD. This will make the 5XXX series GPUs fall in price.

Wait till prices drop after the 68xx introduction? They sure did. Saw today a new HD4770 offered for a mere € 53.45, and that is a double precision enabled card, unlike the new 68xx series. Considering that some people offer their 2nd hand HD4770 for € 120, a mere € 53,45 is dirt-cheap http://www.c-s-c.nl/1280/index_webshop.php

Prices dropped for sure on the 4000 series, by the time I saw the sale it was already sold out, but Newegg had a XFX 4850 for $19.99 after rebate and free shipping. Had I noticed when they still had stock I would have bought the limit.

The cheapest HD4850 (an ASUS EAH4850/2DI/1GD3) here in the Netherlands goes away for €79.00; the most expensive still does €135.99 (a Gigabyte GV-R485OC-1GH)Originally Posted by SuicideCabbage

The 2nd hand market sees HD4870 cards trading for prices as low as €65.00-€75.00
People still are able to sell their HD4770s for more than they'd bought them for....

hello all. i was a member of team-scifi for about 2 years, but i got tired of the same 2 ppl posting in the forum about random sci-fi crud that i had no interest in. i am an AMD /ATI/AMD fanboy so i decided this team would be a perfect fit.
i am currently running one box with an AMD Windsor 6000+ dual core with an AMD HD4850 GPU on an ASUS m2a-vm (AMD 780 chipset). i plan on purchasing a AMD 1100T, 8gb ram on an ASUS am3 AMD 880 chipset with 2x HD6970s. i plan on running primegrid and collatz until i get at least 10 million on each. hopefully by then more openCL apps will be written for AMD GPUs.
i am a PC technician with 16 years of experience and have been using AMD almost exclusively over the past 10 years. my first AMD cpu was an old 5x86 133mhz integer only processor. it was on a socket 3 motherboard with an intel chipset. it lasted for 8 years. my current platform has been in service for 3 years.

Welcome Mattio. We are a no pressure team here. You do what you want. Crunch what you want. Chat about what you want. Especially if it's about AMD stuff!

then i hope bulldozer isn't a Graphics flop like intel's core stuff. if it is, the discreet market is safe

Hi Mattio. Welcome aboard the good team AMD Users. I agree with you that the discreet GPU market is safe. Question: when is the AMD 6990 due for release?
Senior Post Whore
Actually the first Bulldozer CPU are already out on the market (Socket G34), and there is no baked-in IGP, so still market for one or more HD6990 in your K-10 system!
The only G34 CPUs you can buy here in the Netherlands at the moment are the 8-core Opteron 6128 (240 Euros) and the 12-core Opteron 6174 (1000 Euros)
The HD 6990 is rumoured to come out sometime this month....
