[gamerdude1989]

hi guys, the card as said above, xfx radeon hd 5870 1gb.
I owned one of these cards before, bought from OcUk.

and i know i know they are getting slightly old amonst the newer models coming out, But i really really like them.

But i cannot seam to find them forsale brand new anymore.

I want to buy 2 of them and setup in crossfire, but its suddenly so hard to get hold of them.

any ideas of where to find them in a regular stock?

thanks

They're difficult to find for sale new because they went EOL a long time ago.

You can still find a few for sale if you search around but mostly for silly money.

I can't tell you where because that's against the forum rules.

Perhaps you should consider current cards for easy availability.

hi mate, and thanks for your reply.

Apologies for asking where to find them, as i should have known better than to ask.

Yeah have seen them around, but £300 a card, i dont think so.

I am currently running 2 gtx 460s in SLI, but personally, im an ATi fan and really did love my old 5870. its just a shame my mrs dropped it and broke it.

thanks anyway

Keep your 460s until we get 28nm stuff.

...and your Missus better be paying you back in whatever way for that dropped card!

This.

Just wait for the 28nm cards from AMD.
