Radeon HD 6850, 6870 prices climb skyward

Its a late paper launch from AMD

availability doesn't reflect this at all, these things are selling like hot cakes are in stock at every retailer and they try to make as much money as possible with this card (i've been following the stock of the largest retailer in my country and they get ~200-300 new cards every week and almost completely sell them off within a week until they get a new shipment)

i thinkt hat nvidia didn't counteract hard enough and retailers realized that they can charger 20€/$ more without experiencing a significant drop in sales
