When are those DirectX11 ATI video cards gonna be back in stock!!??

Whooaa!! When they said those new ATI video cards would sell out like hot cakes boy were they right!! They have been sold out for almost a month now and they still haven't been back in stock!! :x The 5870, 5850, and 5770 are all sold out!! And it is so frustrating because I was about to build a PC for someone until the 5770's went out of stock!! :evil: :x Now I have to do his configuration all over again (which I personally don't mind doing anyway). And I was really looking forward to perhaps getting a 5770 for myself as well, but it looks like I might not even be able to find one in time for the holiday season:cry: . I'm going to Email AMD/ATI right away and tell them to increase production of their DirectX11 video cards because they have no idea how much demand there is for them right now;) . Anyway please tell me your opinions as well ;) :)

Exact same problem here in UK, although we do have 5770's. All websites been saying preorder for 5870 and 5850 for like 2 months now. I was planning on getting a 5870 for Xmas but doesn't look like it's gonna happen now, most frustrating. :evil: They shouldn't launch a product nobody can buy.

TSMC, the chip maker for BOTH AMD and Nvidia, is having problems with their 40nm process on their GPUs.

In September they got a new production machine for the 40nm process and they are getting it online now, slowly, so you should start seeing a rise in GPU availability here in a few weeks.

Right now AMD is only ABLE to ship out a couple thousand GPUs to board makers for e-tailers and retailers because TSMC is having yield problems.

AMD hopes that by the end of November or before Christmas shipments of 58XX cards will increase to the tens of thousands per week.

Woah tens of thousands per week? Is that true? Jeez these things are going to price spiral downwards big time. I guess they'll repeat what the 48xx series have done in terms of great price performance, and all this with better power consumption (I think).

EDIT: btw had to remove your source of info link - it gave my html problems

Well... from a business perspective you may be right about Nvidia's waiting being a good move. But I love my 5870, and I think most people that were lucky enough to get a 5800 series card would agree.

Here order this 5770 from XFX it's in http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150447

Arghh, It wasnt a choice by Nvidia to delay the release of their cards because their chip manufacturer was haveing trouble, it was because thy themselves were having problems releasing the cards on time. It is still a bad idea for Nvidia because ATI has had more time on the market, and they will already be releasing their X2 cards by the time Nvidia first starts to release their normal cardsIantheone

crossfire dont works anyways with more than two cards, this X2cards were always garbage. 3 Way SLI is and will always be king of the hill.

I feel you. I've been on the backorder list for a 5850 for a whole month now! Ordered it on the 16th ofOctober! It's also the last piece of my rig... it makes me very sad.

Pick up 2 HD 4870 X2. BAM! You got QuadFire.

of course you can do this but will it work? There are really rare Games that support more than two ATI cards the rest is buggy and lags. Quad SLI is better but still its possible to get microlags at any time. 3way SLI is the way to go. AMD is really smart i would do same and releasing hardware solution without drivers as long people believe it.
