There are about a half a dozen 5770s and one 5750 on NewEgg.

Dunno about in the US, but the pricing seems off for these parts in the UK. The 5770 is okay, but just isn't competitive enough with the 4870/260 which are the same price or less.

The pricing here is:

< 100: 250/9800
110: 5850
130: 5770/4870/260
150: 4890/275
230: 5850*
300: 5870

There's too big a jump between 5770 and 5850 in price/performance and the 275/4890 are too dominant here.


*note the 5850 is massively in demand here, and the sweetspot in price terms so over inflated. I think the etailers are gouging on this part, and hoped to gouge on the 57xx series also - but aren't shifting stock. The 5850 is bundled with 2 games @ £30 retail, the 5850 none.

If the 5870's are going for 300 pounds I'd say that's high considering I bought one for 405 Canadian.

Google says £300 = $500 Canadian at the moment, so there is some gouging going on. The exchange rate is pretty rotten atm also.

You're not wrong about the 5850's being in demand. I checked everywhere for one,

Nobody had one. Nobody! I was ringing stores asking when they were expecting delivery and nobody had a clue. I did however manage to pick one up from TheHut the woman I spoke to was extremely helpful and even rang me back to say they had 10 in customs. Arrived today and its a solid card so far
