New ATI cards 5850 and 5870

[tonymadge]

I see the 5850 £199 and the 5870 £299 cards are due for release. By all accounts these are blistering speed cards that beat the GTX285 hands down, what attracts me is the triple monitor facility!!
I am looking for a decent card and probably will go for a 2nd hand 8800GTX as a short term answer till either Nvidia release a similar one or the ATI prices drop. However I use nHancer to cure the blurries in FS9 on an ATI card is there similar software to use??

Hi Tony,

Well not that its relevant but I suppose it is in a way.

I hear so many people say that Nvidia rules the roost with regards to flightsim.

I always thought that myself.

However, I now have a nice i7 920 running at 3.4 partnered up with a 1GB ATI 4890.

It runs beautifully. Its changed my whole simming experience.

BTW - You up and about again? Insurance paid up for the heli?
