ATI 5870 tomorrow right?

[fffblackmage]

As much as I'd like to get an HD58x0, $300 is a bit too much. However, I'm hoping prices on the HD48x0s fall a bit more.

I'm really curious to see how that half-vent affects temps.

This is what I'm wondering. Did the 22nd thing come from a legit source?

 

[TotalLamer]

Alright... it's the 22nd, NDA is up... let's see those reviews!

 

[sciwizam]

Hey I read it somewhere.

 

[thilanliyan]

I read the 24th actually.
I think I actually did.

don't know if this thread has been posted yet

oh and how fast do you think these buggers will sell out once somebody posts that they are for sale?

From 2 articles at hexus.net:

"Our intel is that there will be between 50,000 and 100,000 Radeon HD 5800 series cards produced in the initial 40nm TSMC run, with a ratio of around 4:1 in favour of the 5870 over the 5850. We also gather that the channel - as opposed to OEMs - is likely to only get around ten percent of this."

"HEXUS has sampled a selection of sauces, and they're telling tales about how AMD won't be able to keep up with initial orders for its upcoming Radeon graphics cards.

Garnished with reports of a demand that's been unprecedented in recent years, the Radeon menu looks likely to be a three course serving of sweet and sour for AMD."

anyone know a place that is taking preorderes of the 2GB 5870?

The good thing is that most people here and elsewhere will be too scared to shill out the $399 launch-price, saying "I'll get it when it drops $50". It won't drop $50 for a very long time when it's far more well worth your while to just be one of the first people to have one.

I think most people who don't wait to order one, once they're in stock, will get one. I plan on picking one up as soon as it shows up instock for the full 399. Those who hesitate for a few hours will lose out for sure.

Judging from the past, once the 2nd round of supply comes in the price might actually raise to 450 for a while. It wouldn't be shocking.

if you need a card that bad then go for it. I myself would never drop that much money on one though. I prefer to wait until prices have settled down and then I can get the most bang for buck. I paid $180 for the gtx260 with a game nearly a year ago and could still get 100 for that card. paying $400 for something that will likely be half that in 2 to 3 months is silly to me. if it doesnt drop that much then oh well I just wont buy it. after all I skipped the ridiculously priced 8800gtx too.

I believe $299 for the 5850, and $399 for the 5870.

I believe $259 for the 5850, and $379 for the 5870

Fixed. Internal slides to back this up as well.

really?? where did you find that information?

 

[Jacen]

My Delorean? Pretty sure I answered that question in my last post.

That is MSRP though, doesn't mean they come out at that price point however.

 

[avadyn]

well i mean like where are those internal slides you talked about

 

[dguy6789]

I really want to see some in depth reviews. I hope Anandtech doesn't forget about comparing the 5850 with the 4850x2 2GB. That's the real challenge for the 5850, not the GTX 285.
