the elusive 5970 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814127467

 

[RussianSensation]

Wow, same performance with half the memory of my 4850 X2 2GB for almost 2x price! :awe:

Be careful. 4850 X2 2GB is actually 2 4850s 1GB cards. You cannot consider this to be a 2GB card. Having said that, it's not as if 4850s needed 2GBs per GPU

just beat me to it, haven't used MSI branded products in years. how is their customer service and repackaging these days?

 

[scooterlibby]

5850 up. I ave half a mind to flip it. It'll be just my luck that availability increases by the time I receive it. In fact, that may be what is happening now.

Wow! Still available.

Maybe TSMC is getting better, or the early adopter market it getting saturated.

And 1 hour later, out of stock again.

However, there does seem to be a steady trickle every day. Could it be a sign that the back log is getting cleared and that higher volumes are upon us?

It's showing in stock right now, but why would you spend $60 over MSRP for a card you technically do not need right now and if you do need a GPU, a card costing half that price would suffice.

If I would have saw that earlier, I would have bought it. But my boss said he was able to get a HIS through his distributor for $580 and should be here next week, so my search all worked out in the end.

Holy cow, look at the first review that pops up. This guy is using a 5850 while gaming at 1440x900. Look at the rest of his system too, what a waste of hardware!

Any chance you would PM me the name of this distributor, or if not how I can get one? If not, no worries: )

HIS 5850 for $315 @ Newegg

I can now say I personally saw one of these in stock.

Just bought it for PC #2 (only paid $259 for my 1st 5850 for PC #1 when it first came out). I would have went for the 5870 in stock, but I figured I could use them both now in both machines, and maybe crossfire them in one of them next year.

XFX 5870's still available at the Egg. Saw them last nigt, was tempted, pulled the trigger this morning. Crossfire goodness! More power than I need but what the hell..

 

[Wogdog]

How many 5850's and 5870's have went to vendors like Dell, HP etc. for their Windows 7 builds? Could that be where the lion's share of the cards are going to fulfill the OEM orders, and what is left over goes to retailers? I haven't seen any actual percentages of how AMD is dividing up cards.

 

[scooterlibby]

Aggh I can feel it happening to me...boring winter break coming up, saved up video card money burning a hole in my pocket, no Fermi until March possibly. I may just put a lie to my claims of waiting until the 5970 reached $500 before I buy it. I know I shouldn't, but I might get the next one I see pop up available.

I'm not familiar with overclocking tools for ATI, is there a way to tweak the voltage without paying the ridiculous HIS markup for their voltage tool?

You should be able to just use the MSI afterburner tool, but I don't know if that will work on all boards.
