After alot of wait, FINALLY i got my hands on ASUS 5850.
I wanted to buy a new one but couldn't find any ASUS or MSI in Hafeez Center so bought a used one from fellow PG member (Guys please dont ask me price).
Its comes in a really BIG box.
A very good packing, i am impressed
I already had my card installed so here are some pics of 5850 installed in my CM690
My Venomous X with Noctua NF-P12 fans.
Here is a GPUz screen shot
After testing and overclocking this card i concluded that i made a very good choice buying 5850 that too from ASUS. It can be easily OCed to 900Mhz Core and 1150 Memory with stock volltage.
Due to shortage of time i haven't OCed it to 1000Mhz on core yet, will do it in near future INSHALLAH.

Fan Profile
Stock fan speeds were not satisfactory at least for me. So i adjusted fan speeds according to my likings
Stock Clocks
Idle: 38C
Load: 56-58C
Idle temps went as low as 33C last night. My GTS250 used to idle at 38C in winters.
900/1150
Idle: 39C
Load: 60C
I am glad that i bought 5850 that too from ASUS. A very good overclocker, runs really cool. Performance is almost 250% of my GTS250. A worthy upgrade and money well spent.
