This thing will likely sell well under $200. How many people who can afford a high res monitor will skimp on the video card?
The take away is that this card has the highest bandwidth 128b memory bus ever. This will bring unprecedented performance to its price point. This card will instantly obsolesce the 4850 and 4770 and deliver better features. It might not be a good upgrade for 4870/4890 owners (the review will tell) but until DX11 games are available 4870/4890 owners have nothing to complain about.
If you want to game in high res and/or use Eyefinity you can afford the 5850. Quit whining.
