In October of this year ATI launched the first of their Radeon HD 6000 series cards, and while they don't dramatically outperform the previous generation, they do improve on power consumption and the chips are smaller, which makes them cheaper to produce. The difference in framerates between a HD 6850 and an HD 5850 or 5830 is barely noticeable most games, but the 6850 hit the market at under $200, making it a clear winner. This card from Sapphire is very close to the reference board design, with 1 GB of GDDR5, a 256-bit memory bus, and a core clock speed of 775 MHz. The hardest part could be finding a retailer that has them in stock.
