Its funny u ask this today as i was tempted to ask the question.
No article really seems to give a date. I read one that said end of March but this is obviously wrong as no sign of them. Another has stated within the next few weeks i.e. just when the gtx480 appears really.
I think maybe be end of april.
Be nice to see some reviews and some prices. Im glad that both XFX & Sapphire are bringing out cards as well as Asus so maybe the price tag wont be quite as ridiculous as the MARS was. End of day its just a 5970 overclocked, just has a bit more memory and a better cooler, but does that warrant the price tag jump from a £500 5970 (the price a well known Etailer has sold the card for recently) to £1000 area? With other companies bringing out cards maybe they will keep the card to £800 area, which is still IMO too expensive.
