Then just buy the card from the Dell online store? I have no real brand loyalty when it comes to ATI cards, so I'll get it where I can find it I guess. :wink:I reckon they'll be in their machines not available as an individual purchase.... here in NZ Dell doesn't sell components

Yep thats what the artical says.

Jeez... "our sauces"... yeesh, copy-proofing has really slipped in the digital age. "Our sources", it should be. Unless they're talking about making food! They can get it right when talking about Half-Life!

*is now very tempted to Photoshop up a "Half-Life Sauce" bottle...*

I don't know why they're surprised. Any promising looking high-end kit has always been this way. The 9800Pro had shortages early after it's release, the X800 series the same, the X1800's weren't so bad, but they were really delayed. nVidia had similar shortages in the 7800's and 8800's IIRC (although with the 8800's it wasn't very marked...)

lol about the sauce ... I despise websites who don't even double check what they write :?

on the shortage matter, I'll say it depends on where & when & which
where => depending on location availability can be greatly different
which => the first 8800GTX was quite difficult to get
when => the first 8800GTX was quite difficult to get for the first few month

there was even very high prices on ebay & the like (like 900$ or more...)

I don't think there are THAT many people eagerly waiting and drooling over the 58xx cards.

on another pc/hardware/game fourm I'm in there's really not much mention or excitement over the new ATI cards.

we are triplehead gamers and this eyefinity is a major draw for us.

but out side of this niche here I don't think there are too many people gooing gaga over it. it's more like regular interest compared to other new card releases

Well the 22nd of September is well and truly over (here at least!) where is all the news/reviews/info.....?

So far I've only seen ZipZoomFly taking preorders for the 5870 and 5850 for $400 and $300. Both have the standard 2 dvi, 1 hdmi 1 dp port out configuration. Not seen anyone list the "Six" card yet. Wonder what the premium is going to be on the "Six".

A LOT! I wonder if I can source mini-DP to DVI onverters and mini-DP to HDMI converters here......

Looks like the links were yanked a few hours ago. My guess is it'll be back up in a few hours once the NDA is lifted. Putting 5870 or 5850 into the ZipZoomFly search box will bring up the old link info, but not the page.
