Deadly_Nightshade 214 Posted November 2, 2009 How can a new product be deactivated already? They sometimes put deactivated instead of out of stock - so my guess is that it will be "reactivated" as soon as another shipment comes in.

Mera 3 Posted November 3, 2009 Its back and not in stock of course. They need to get it together. WTF is the deal with all of these 5870 cards being out of stock? Demand is high and TSMC is again having yield problems, which sucks for both ATi and Nvidia. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CoM_Solaufein 134 Posted November 6, 2009 One of these days we might get some 5870s back in stock. Didn't have this problem when they first came out, when I ordered that Saphirre card.

mkreku 881 Posted November 6, 2009 They are completely sold out in Sweden. They haven't had stock for months, and everytime they DO get a shipment, the backorders are so big they never end up in the stores. Quote Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!

CoM_Solaufein 134 Posted November 16, 2009 It sure would be nice if ATI would start mass producing more 5870's. I never should have RMA that card I had, now I can't get any from Newegg because they are always out.

alanschu 1,228 Posted November 17, 2009 If that's the high end card, it probably has lower yields and is victim of binning. Quote My Let's Play of Stick of Truth Playlist: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLv1uX4i1Tm5JEdbOKrdGW31WXY1b6Ltww Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mkreku 881 Posted November 18, 2009 Hehe, you should have waited juuust a little bit longer: the 5970 is here! It absolutely crushes everything on the market today, including the Nvidia Geforce 295 GTX. But the most fantastic thing is that it only consumes 42W when not in gaming mode! 300W when at full blast.. http://www.maximumpc.com/article/features/...rformance_champ Quote Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!

Spider 75 Posted November 18, 2009 And the least fantastic thing is the price. But it's one awesome card. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mkreku 881 Posted November 18, 2009 The price will come down once Nvidia releases their Fermi GPU's. But I agree they set it ridiculously high. Quote Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CoM_Solaufein 134 Posted November 19, 2009 They can keep it. No way in hell am I spending 600 on a piece of technology that won't be worth that in 6 months. Nice of Newegg boosting the prices of the 5870's by ten dollars. I'll stick with the 4890's until prices drop into the 200's. DX11 is not a big deal since there are no games coming out that I want that use it.

Arkan 11 Posted November 20, 2009 And yet I can still run everything maxed out just fine with a GTX260. This is insane. Ditto. Quote "Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger." - Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials "I have also been slowly coming to the realisation that knowledge and happiness are not necessarily coincident, and quite often mutually exclusive" - meta Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mkreku 881 Posted January 18, 2010 Oh yeah, I got my 5870, finally. But that's not the reason I'm posting today: http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/nvidia-...tails-revealed/ Nvidia has released more details about the Fermi. It's going to be a monster.

Killian Kalthorne 1 Posted January 18, 2010 Well, I got a 4850 to replace my 8800GT and it works quite nicely. Didn't even need a shoe horn to get it to fit in the case.

Janmanden 23 Posted January 21, 2010 Well.. I've got the 4850 (too) for over a year now and I'm currently waiting for Nvidia to pull their act together.. (and TSMC to start delivering in droves).. Not because I want to buy any of their craphics, but because I want to buy ATi cheaper. Not really an optimist, but I was still expecting the 5850 to go for or decline to about the same price as 4850 did, when it was released.. And it's still almost double that. The 5870 cost about as much as the 4870x2 used to.. I guess the next logical step in a row would be the 5770, but I promised myself a long time ago never to return to 128bit, besides 5770 is too much of a marginally win/loss in comparison and that's just pointless. I still doubt whether I can rely on my rock stable Enermax Noisetaker II 485W to deliver what the 5850 needs, I'm just kinda lost in different sheets of 5850 consumption.. in the worst case scenario I'll just have to idle my way through any of ATi's top models..
