In the market for a new video card, suggestions?

How much is the 5870 going for now? I haven't been keeping track of the demand, can I find it somewhere for it's MSRP? If not, soon? I can wait a week or two, but I've been working towards this build since a week or two before September and I'm going to go cry into my pillow if there's going to be a drought on this card.

wait for the 5850s to drop...early reviews look VERY promising.

about $379-389

Seems like most places have it at msrp. Tigerdirect has bing cashback at around 10% I believe. Stock goes in and out as they are hot sellers.

Look into the XFX and Asus versions.

How long would you recommend waiting? I love procrastinating.

So in your opinion, what would warrant a 5870?

The need for 15-20% more performance? If you're willing to pay another $120 for 15-20% then go for it.
