Nope, too expensive. Damn price gouging.

It may not totally be price gouging either.. At least not totally if they are having yield problems with the new process it could be a lot of cost to produce.

I still don't plan on buying one while the prices are so high, I'm sure they will drop a bit as soon as Nvidia can come up with something *NEW preferably*

[I.R.A]_FBi · Nov 24, 2009

see the xfx XXX 5870 for 440 ... this is not a ripoff

600.00 is not terrible when you consider two 5850 are 269.00 a piece. It the 5870s and 5850's that are jacked way up.

But are they is the question... I mean I'm certain there is a level of price gouging but is it as bad as it might seem to most.

Yeah, and I thought I had one in the bag, too . . .

Just got the email back from the egg saying my order can't be processed as there's no stock available.

<sigh>

Back to the waiting game. :ohwell:

No kidding.

I looked on my usual e-store site just to see. "Not Available". That includes also those 5870 & 5850.

Btw, your response reminds me of this old movie.

Anyone interested in helping me out with purchasing an HD5970 from the US of A, if so please let me know, there is no way I am buying one from here, rip off to the max, anyways if anyone can help I would appreciate it!

I'd help - but I can't even find one for myself, let alone two . . .

everyone is out of stock. Newegg, ZipZoomFly, Amazon, Provantage and all the other questionable retailers . . . some don't even have them listed yet (i.e. TigerDirect).

It's getting rather pathetic . . . I can't recall the last time any ATI hardware was this hard to get a hold of.

you can use like myus or somethings similar, ship to those adress, and the ship back to australia

That what I do when I want to buy stuff from neweggs or any place that does not want to ship to canada

But the card is a long one make sure it will fit in your case, otherwise...

newfellow · Nov 24, 2009

Sure gonna stick with 5850 x 2 strategy. 600? Lets say 400 and I can consider losing processing power for it.

Dont worry man, it will fit in my case, my HD5870 fits easily and I still got like 3 to 4 inches of space left
