The ATI Radeon HD 5870 just showed up in our price comparison engine and not altogether surprisingly it was online shop Salland Automatisering that was the first to have a price available. The new graphics card which rumour has it is due for release next week, can be had for a mere 320 euro's.
The world's first DirectX 11 part supposedly will be released next week, although availability on launch is as ever far from certain. Although previously leaked presentation slides showed a price of 400 dollars, maximum, a European price so far was not available. The next best thing was a pervasive "350 euro's" rumour, but Salland's pre-order price is quite a bit lower at € 319,99 - a lot cheaper than many expected. Of course this is the 1GB GDDR5 edition of the card, we will have to wait a bit for the 2GB version and its accompanying price.
