This is the reason there are hardly any 5870's for sale..Also the reason for the delay in the 5900 probably..and the reason nvidia could be held up...I see the 5900 is predicted now between 11/16-19..I wonder if it has to do with these people????

Sucks man

I am so sick of waiting..I don't get things early as the extreme OCers get them but with a couple of family members that are reps I usually get things a little early..

When the 4870 came out i had it in my PC 2 weeks before newegg. Same with the X2 and the P6T7 MB....

This has been so strange i finally drove over to my cousin the Asus rep's house and he doesn't even have a 5870 and usually has 10..He showed me this problem..I am not positive he is right but find it very strange that you can't get a 5870 without serious hawking...

Something is for sure not right..

Doesn't Kal have 4 of these sitting next to his bench in that big pile of hardware ??

I could have got my hands on the 5870 when it first came out but held for the x2...After a longer than expected wait I decided to try the 5870's out...That is when i ran into the shortage...

Kinda makes you wonder how they are going to put two 5870's on a card when they can't seem to get one????

Just gotta keep an eye on the egg. The asus 5870s pop up for a little while before being sold out. Gotta be quick, gotta be committed and gotta spam the "Add to cart"
