Radeon 4870 Now For Pre-Order

Apple has finally attached a price to the Radeon 4870 512MB: $350. They're "selling" it now, but since it won't ship until 10.5.7 ships, it's effectively a pre-order.

Meanwhile 4870's at Newegg start at $150. I suspect flashing PC cards with the EFI firmware is going to get very popular the moment someone gets a working firmware built.
 
The Mac Pro isn't exactly an affordable gaming tower to begin with. I don't think a lot of actual customers are pissed about this.
 
To me, the bigger issue is that its a 512MB card and not a 1GB. As far as firmware flashes go, I have a feeling that won't work but it will be interesting to see the final hardware.
