5870 up on newegg for $380

[bodean]

No. I wish the 5850 was for sale, I have yet to see it.
I'm having a very hard time justifying $379.99 for the 5870, when no games today (or probably in the next 5 months) take full advantage of this card. The one nice thing is the DX11, yet again, nothing on the market needs this card right now. I'm sure 4890 sales are going to jump up...but almost 400 dollars for a card that won't really use its full potential for another 6-12 months, and by that time prices will be lower.

NVIDIA still has the faster single-card solution, although the $100 price premium is well in excess of the <10% performance premium.

Wish i could figure out where to buy one of these things.

Well it looks like it backfired on AMD this time..... Don't be surprised if you see some 5870's on e-bay with ridiculous pricetags =)

There are stocks around.. just not at the egg. Try ncix if you are eager to get one (or two).

I'd be interested to find out just how short stocked these are... or if they came in roughly average numbers and just sold.

Yea but not at the same price as the egg.... Retailers uped their prices due to the fact that AMD did not have enough GPU's for each store.....

Add me to the XFX waiting list. Can't wait to build my new system around this.

ASUS has Voltage Tweaker for HD 5870. Is Voltage Tweaker by ASUS really important or is it just a marketing hype?

 

[Proximon]

Don't know, but a handy way to up the voltage could be good.

Sapphire offers 2 free games instead of 1. It's Dirt 2 and Battlestations...
