Does anyone know where to find two Sapphire 5870 cards in stock?

I've done searches on Nextag, Google Shopping, and a few other engines. No joy.

Does anyone have a favorite place with good RMA policies in case I get a dud that might have some in stock?

There are a lot of sites that do a bad job of posting availability online and when you call they all say 2 week backorder.

Just set up auto notify on newegg + zzf. They update their stocks in realtime.Fixed...(or at least WAY WAY more frequent than weekly)

This does work very well. Or like I said, go through the Froogle.com list I provided.

Well as we saw in that other thread, if you tell newegg to F off, they'll credit you the difference between $390 and $379, lol

(not that I condone that action at all! I just found the screenshot in that thread funny as hell)

I've had the same problem finding the 5850. I looked for about a week, and ended up getting the HIS from www.zipzoomfly.com Saturday morning. Both of these cards are going to be hard to find until xmas is over I think.

HIS has one of the worst RMA policies in the world!!!! Don't buy HIS doesn't matter how good their cards are as a company they suck.

The 5870 and 5850 are going up in price due to supply and demand.

The success rate for the new parts are low so they are not able to produce fast enough....
The only ones I have seen are HIs and never heard good things about it.

Your last option is to steal them from friends but since thats illegal just dont get caught :)

Hmm, oddly enough, your post came up while I was doing one of my routine checks for cookie stuffers. I know you aren't stuffing but it looks like Tiger is being sneaky and using invisible images to potentially track where people are copy/pasting things from their website?

AMD really screwed the pooch on this one - if they had enough stock on hand, they probably would have at least tripled their sales to date = a lot of lost $$$$.

Giving this a bump because there's a few (5870 and 5850 both, no 5970) in stock at Newegg. Yes, they're still way over MSRP, but supplies are still short. http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=2010380048%20106793261&name=Radeon%20HD%205000%20series

2 5870's in stock now. Looks like the second wave of cards is starting to show up. The question now is, will we see steady availability from here on out, along with a return to MSRP, or is this just another small shipment?

Still WELL over mrsp, but 3 different 5850's are in stock too.

Yep, they both will, just going to take some time.. I doubt any sooner than late Jan though. Demand is still really high for these cards.

I dunno, seems like there isn't much demand anymore, at least among people willing to pay $30-$60 over MSRP, otherwise, Newegg would still be selling out at those jacked prices. Hopefully this means prices will fall to where they should be.

Prices are crazy for these all over the world. Still you folks in USA have it much better than European or Australian folks i.e. Sapphire HD5870 Vapor-X is AUD$799 here = US$735!!!! :eek:

Luckily I was able to nab 3x HD5870 (http://i4memory.com/f18/hd5850-hd5870-hd5970-owners-club-21041/) off a friend for the old more reasonable prices!

Dude, have you looked at ebay auction prices? Oh, the demand is still very much there - you're just an nvidia fanboy. :pNo ratbuddy is correct. The 5870 and 5850 have been out of stock at Newegg for weeks with the occasional card showing up. The price has gone up on these cards as well. This card was selling out @ $379 the 1st week it was out.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150456
Its been in stock now since yesterday and its price is now $439. ratbuddy made an observation the the higher price is keeping people from buying. It looks like it to me also.

mattspalace

12-05-09, 10:38 AM

Negative, they just got more quantity in this time around.. And I just bought another 5870 from Newegg on Weds or Thurs for $409.. I've seen sites selling them, and selling out, for just shy of $500 - so Newegg isn't gouging nearly as much as they could be. Those three will sell out soon, they probably just had more than a handful come in.

Everything actually. Nvidia doesn't have a new card out, AMD does.. any potential split in demand is nearly all going to AMD at the moment.

I just called ya a fanboy cuz I know it gets a rise out of ya. :thup:

Doesn't bother me one bit, cause it just ain't true.

Once the 5870 hits MSRP I'll be buying one myself. If that's Nvidia fanboyism, color me green ;)

Good to hear. :D
I actually paid more for my last card, GTX 285 FTW, than I've paid for any of the four 5870's I have. I just need a new mobo with four slots now, or sell one and go with three in tri-fire. Although it's all overkill once you pass two. Or I might go with a 5970 + 5870.. I need to search out some benchies for that combo.. 5970's are even harder find, and are price gouged even more.

ratbuddy
