90% cards they have in higher range are out of stock mate..i am looking for great deal on 5770 or 5830....was hoping for price drop with Nvidia launch...lets see in next week.
Dont look at newegg alone. NE is known for price gouging. And even there you can buy 5870 for $420 today and these are in stock. Forget custom cooler versions and custom PCB versions, they are never widely available.
If you want you can buy 5870 for $389 today from likes of SabrePC (confirmed stock, I checked with them yesterday personally by email ).
And there wont be any price drops from ATI.
ATi hinted they are comfortable with current stock and pricing of their card before reviews came out. And their Press release after reviews of Fermi only reiterated that.
In fact AIBs are planning to jack up the prices by $10-20 on 5850 and 5870 with possible increase in 5770 by some margin. If I were you, I would buy ATI card as soon as I can
