Has the Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 5870 1024MB Vapour-X been discontinued?

I’m desperate for one of these cards. But OC doesn’t list them any more and other site say “discontinued’. Is this correct?

Thanks.

They may well be discontinued but there are some places with stock

Nearly time for SI...

Cypress I think?

I’ve just been reading about the new SI cards. Looks like the old 5000 series but more ‘green’.

Can any one recommend this card as an alternative?:-

My old 8800GTS 640Mb needs replacing.

If it's urgent then the 460 GTX is probably 1 of the best cards to buy currently, if you can hold off, then I would.
