Haha I noticed that too! Just made me slap my head thinking about the amount of overkill involved when using a corei7 and 5970 for the Source engine.

Man, the 5970 is such a rare commodity still! I figured it might have let up by now, given the availability of all the other 5 series cards, but I guess not. Maybe after X-mas.

I guess some people are simply too busy posting retarded pics to recognize that I have my 5870 already here, in my machine... well, losers are losers, can't help them, can I?

Last warning. Lay off the personal attacks. In case it is not clear to you what those types of things are, I've bolded them above for you.
Next time will be vacation time.

Hopefully that applied equally to the guy who posted the baby picture, which was also a personal attack and is what baited T2K to defend himself.

I find this to be odd (though I have no idea how online etailers choose to list and delist certain products): now the 5970 is only showing up from two partners. The reviews and listings for all the other partners have disappeared and the two remaining ones are (of course) unavailable. This 5970 drought is crazy.

what brand for 5770 would you guys say is the best so I can start hunting it down

 

[ScorcherDarkly]

The good news is Newegg has tons of 5850s and 5870s in stock, so maybe the drought of those is finally in the rear view mirror. Unfortunately, I imagine the return of supply will not result in a decrease in price back to old MSRP. Probably have to wait until Fermi for that.

 

[gargar]

prices will be back to normal, or very close to normal at the beginning of January. signs for that can already be seen. Newegg got Sapphire cards for 299$ which is 10$ down since last week. amazon got both Sapphire and Visiontek for 299 down. and we're still in the shopping season. after the shopping frenzy ends prices will have to go down.

Think I'm going to buy this in the new year, any input on it?

 

[rickon66]

Amazon has a Sapphire 5850 for $279.45 - down 20 from yesterday. I also spied a 5870 for $399. Yea!

Fry's had several of the Diamond 5850's in stock at 2 different locations in the San Jose & Sunnyvale stores this week.

Ncix ca now has them on as part of boxing day, bundled with win7. Very strange they have had none for weeks, but now seem to have enough to put on sale. Something was poorly planned.

$200 over MSRP, yeesh.

 

[Tempered81]

10 different 5870 and 10 different 5850 in stock at the egg, guess availability is here

 

[Chaotic42]

Anyone have any reports as to what the hell is going on with the 5970s? First they're all listed on Newegg, but OoS, then there's only one listed with plenty of stock, then there's none, now there are a bunch that are all OoS.

I agree. It'll take newer cards or most other sites lowering their prices to get NE to lower prices to original MSRP. This is assuming supplies can stay plentiful. Hopefully competition will take hold and drive down costs again soon.

5970 still not available, but interesting how one has a quoted ETA of 1/21/10 and the other as 2/04/10

No idea how trustworthy, however.
Site says "In stock", but also "Special Order Item".

What brand is recommended on the 5850? The cheapest?

FOR AMAZON ONLY!!!

learned about www.eyeitforme.com

you type in the ASIN number for the graphics card (or any other product, useful for future SD hot deals) and the site automatically polls amazon for stock, you can choose amazon as seller, or third party or used whatever

anyway when the item is in stock (lets say you just leave the browser open in the background) the page sets off an alarm to let you know the item is now in stock.

(also good if you want a refurb TV from warehousedeals)
