    Just wondering if anyone knows when this will happen over here? I was going to buy a 4850, but waiting for this to happen seems like the obvious thing to do. The price seems the same on Komplett.

    Edit - this is the cheapest 4870 on Komplett at the moment:

    All the other 4870's are over 200.

    That's a reasonable/good price for the 4870.

    And i'm pretty sure that's a newish price for komplett to be charging for that card? So i doubt it will come down any time soon

    Pixmania have been selling that card around that price for a few months now, it's 149 on their site now.

    The reason I ask is I read a post in another thread in the graphics section mentioning the 4870 and the 48XX line in general will be cheaper soon to compete with some Nvidia releases.

    Found this related article on Tom's hardware:

    Wow that article is really surprising!

    I suppose that's proof that the 4870 is gonna drop in price,

    Great!
