I am continually amazed at the trolling that goes on here! The only thing that this thread proves is that there are many more AMD "focus group" members here at the AT forums than NV one
Folks, NV is a popular brand, performs and sells well and has been/will be in in business a long time. All the negativity you post day to day won't change that fact :biggrin:
Please stop the BS
Yes, clearly it's the AMD focus group members ignoring the Nvidia statements that there may be tight supply of the GTX580 for the first few weeks (we're on week ~5 now I think?) and that there was apparently no stockpile before launch.
And it's not NV people saying "oh the stock levels are fine" despite NV suggesting otherwise.
You are right, so many AMD focus group members trying to make NV look bad while NV focus group members spread the truth of there probably being limited stocks.
Oh, wait. NV focus group members apparently don't know what their own company is saying, while other people apparently can find this information, link it in the thread, and then have it ignored by "NV" people who want to press the idea that there are absolutely no supply issues despite cards regularly being out of stock and being sold for above MSRP.
Does that mean they are impossible to get?
No.
They are also more in stock and reasonably priced (on Newegg at least) than AMD's "competitor" the HD5970, which is currently OOS for the only decent value version of that card available, so AMD is not doing any better when it comes to competing at that price point, but that doesn't mean NV is having zero issues in terms of supply.
