HD 4850's are now at Newegg.

A whopping 8 of the 13 HD 4850s in our database are now available at Newegg for $199.99 as of this writing. So if you are in the market for one now is your chance to spend your hard earned dolla'.

EDIT:

Sapphire's card just went down to $194.99 by way of an instant savings. If you ask me, Diamond's card is the best looking HD 4850 (I don't think I've ever seen such a cool card from Diamond) on the market. Check it out in all its skullrific glory:

GPUReview reader Grey Fox would like us all to know that Newegg has a few HD 4870s listed, but they are not in stock, yet... Keep an eye on them, I am sure they will be available soon.

That does look like a pretty cool card. Too bad in a standard ATX case all its skullrific glory is gonna be facing down! :D

Gosh I wish they made good motherboards in BTX still.

My Asus 4850 arrived today. I think it looks better than the Diamond card.

Too bad Diamond kept the stock single-slot cooler... =.= .
Looks good , but... single slot = rather hot , especially on a card like that .

Mine is running about 77C idle and 82C while gaming. I might slap on some AS and see if that helps.

The Asus 4850 comes with smart doctor and it allows you to control the fan speed. I have it set on auto and now the temps run around 49C. I also added AS and I think that helped some as well.
