Why the new ATI series are so cheap???

[santa2142]

I cant belive what I see, ATI new video card series cheaper than older ones, the 5770 is arround 170USD and the 4870 or 4890 are around 200USD, what happened, whats the problem with them, I have my 260gtx one year old, and it cost me 240 USD, would it be a good idea to change it for the new ati???

The 4850 is a good deal cheaper than the GTS 250 and is a big difference in comparison to the 4870. I'm not suprised, especially if it was the 512MB version. Nothing much to see here. :/ Also it's odd you prefer the Xbox controller on the PC... very odd. I'm gonna guess you grew up playing consoles before you got a computer, because usually it's the other way around.

I didn't grow up playing consoles, and I preffer using mouse, but try playing resident evil 5 on PC with keyboard and mouse, and its way more dificult then using 360 controller, the mouse doesnt move as in usual games, and not only me says that, friends that play CS since its release tell me the same thing, maybe they dont use a controller but they are agree to me that is strange the way your mouse moves when aiming.
