Different bundle, different price

Powercolor has come up with no less than six different HD 5800 series cards, three bearing the HD 5850 brand and three in HD 5870 flavour. The only difference between these cards is the bundle as Powercolor decided to bundle one series with Dirt 2 game, another with a Konnet HDMI cable, while one is basically bundle-less.

The HD 5850 series will work at 725MHz for the core and will be equipped with 1GB of GDDR5 1000MHz memory paired up with the 256-bit memory interface. The HD 5870 cards will have an 850MHz core clock, 1200MHz clocked 1GB of GDDR5 memory and the same 256-bit memory interface.

As you probably already know, both cards have a similar cooler except for the fact that both the HD 5850 card and the cooler are a bit shorter than on the HD 5870.

These cards are priced at US $259, US $269 and US $289 for the HD 5850 cards depending on the model, and US $379, US $389 and US $409 also depending on the model.
