Hmmph, early. Usually the 5800 series cards restock on Monday.

first link is sold out.

First link still good, added one to my cart no probs.

edit: must have been the last one.

Damn, at $410 too. The 58xx series has been a very interesting study on supply vs. demand .

both sold out. Lol. but the $439 is ETA:11/30/2009

If the 5870 gets any higher in price, I'll be able to ebay my 4870x2 for a full refund...

I don't get it. ATI needs to get the price down fast, unless they want to repeat Nvidia's mistakes. The 4000 and 5000 generation of ATI video cards are great, but a 4870 wasn't nearly this expensive.

The 4870 came out as an underdog card, from the get-go.

It was priced to compete, price/performance, against a GTX260 (when it launched with the gtx280), so it had to be at 299.



Now at the 5000 series, any nVidia card with similar performance is priced way over the comparible card.

So...

ATi has kept the prices way down, compared to the nVidia side of the aisle.

Wrong. First, there's no ATI, it's AMD. Second, AMD does not dictate retail prices, only MSRP (remember - keyword is 'recommended'). Third, AMD has to get volume up, THEN the prices will go down.

and in order for AMD to get volume up TSMC needs to get its act together

As long as these cards keep selling out the instant they're available, everyone can keep charging more.

No need to be a dickhole with the person over the AMD/ATI naming thing. Secondly, there technically *is* an ATI, in brand name, not company name.

There is absolutely an ATI, and yes I agree with ir0nwolf don't be a dickhole.

WTF, I didn't even get the notification email from them on this one!
