Yeha, but that's a version of the 5870 with the upgraded cooler, which IMO is a good thing to nab.

TSMC was suppose to increase capacity quite a number of months ago, they finally seem to have done so. AMD/ATi is talking about the number of units going from thousands of units per week to 10k units per week. We should see the results in the next few weeks, hopefully before the end of the year but definitely sometime in Jan at the latest.

Ok that price on that XFX Black edition from their non Black edition is just a damn reap off. I have a XFX 5970 NON Black and am glad I didn't wait for the Black edition.

With the Black Edition you get.
1. Black Edition lettering on the HFS:zombie:
2. Get the OverVolt tool (which can be downloaded AMD OverVolt Tool at TPU)
3. Black Edition Badage:nuts:

Difference of $80 man that better be a GOLD PLATED Badage or something:ROTF:

And handpicked chips...

As far as I know all 5970s are binned.. AMD even advertises overclocking with it. I doubt the BE 5970 is any better overclocking wise.

I've been running 2x5770 and could not be happier,actually glad that 5850 was not available at the time and 5870
was/is too much $$$ for me,maybe in a few months.
5770 is basically half of 5870,so 2x5770>5850 for less money.
Less power draw,less heat,more display outputs (plus you can run up to 4 in CF) the only thing it doesn't have is double precision,not that
any game actually uses it.
5770s should be widely available,so something to think about
perhaps :)

No, it is just handpicked chips from what XFX is getting from AMD/ATi. There isn't enough supply yet for any specific multiple product binning.

How well are 5770's priced in Canada?
When you could pick up a 5850 for $270, that was a freaking steal.
At newegg they are ~$165 x2 = $330 vs a $310 for a 5850 now.
5770 has a TDP of 108w vs a 5850 at 150w.
5770CF does seem to perform a bit better than a 5850 though.

In europe they are just not available at all .
There are shops that just remove it from their stocklist since they don't get any cards in at all .
