that 15fps is not a joke going on, see the anandtech bench, you will notice in few games...
also have you seen the heatsink it uses?
load power consumption is less than gtx460 1gb.
oc is not anything difficult thing! have you tried it or just speaking??
now who has stopped you from saving and getting it, your own wish!!
its available at smcinternational at 15k with taxes. yes the site is under maintenance..lynx is outdated..prices are not updated regularly as i saw
also with new drivers by ati the difference has gone up..and for gamers 10fps increase is a good thing..
also read the WHOLE comments on newegg..
most have mentioned its quiet. also cool. also if paired with good case works well...as due to open heatsink design some heat goes in the case..so good ventilation you have a beast.
also few have mentioned it doesnt oc that well but some amount is possible

Dude, easy bro, you sound like my pops scolding me fr failing in xam or somthin. (see i'v already started crying).
Anyway, I'l try to reason with you here.
Firstly, I never said i never said 15fps is a joke. Infact i cannot emphasis more on how
not funny FPS is.
Yes, i'v been through anand tech website & here's the catch.
For mid level games, take left for dead for instance, 5850's fps are 130, 460's should be around 110 something.
Now overclocked or not, both the cards will show near similar display as 100fps is already more than enough.
.
But, for games like crysis, or bfbc2, at very high levels, both cards (5850 & 460) perform almost smililarly. So if at one setting, 460 gives 12 fps, 5850 will give maximum 15-16fps.
Now, if you say overclocking will get me 15+15=30fps, i'l sell my car to get 5850 and oc it.
This is how important fps is.
.
Yes, i'v seen the heatsink in my tiny 3.4' mobilescreen.
.
Regarding ocing, for micheal phillpse, swimming is a piece of cake, so is soccor for messi, so is flirting for barney, so is being cocky for me,
& so is overclocking for you.
But this doesnot mean any wannabe techie (read:me) will oc as successfully as you will.
.
You may hit limits, but i'l sh!t my pants if pc goes starts to smoke.
.
I'v ocd before, not gpu but cpu.
Hit 3.0 on intel celeron 2.66, & 3.6 on p55..
