End of Life Sapphire 5870 Vapor X

[Dark Sun]

I just spoke to someone "in the know" who buys cards from the distributors and he said this card has reached its End of Life and they won't be getting anymore in.

Could we see some new ATI cards to coincide with FERMI in March? What tricks do they have up their sleeves we don't know about?

.......... Fresh deliveries at another eTailer - so I doubt it is end of life just yet.

How do you know this fresh delivery is only covering back orders and after that they are not getting anymore in. We could be talking about the same eTailer.

What is this "FERMI" that keeps being mentioned?

It's starting to sound like AMD's "refresh" is more to do with attempting to increase yields than it is to release a faster card, perhaps they made a few modifications to the die layout.

 

[Dark Sun]

Oh well. I'll get the refresh models or look at fermi. It gives me some time to save up some more money. I may even have enough for 2 cards.

Rev 1 is EOL i belive but the new rev 2 blue PCB will take over i belive

 

[hideki]

Just to note, the Vapor-x I got from that recent deal from OcUK was the rev2 blue pcb.

 

[Fatboy]

5870 Vapor X is not EOL. There will be some more available shortly.

 

[BigBruiserAl]

Do you know if it going to be rev 1 or 2 fatboy?
