    Phone Dell, that's who's hording them atm. To be honest, you'd be better off holding onto your money and wait for the stock to stabilise around January or February. The price of the HD5870 might even come into your budget.

    eBuyer is selling one right now for £211: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/175714

    I am tempted, but to be honest I am gonna hold out for the 28nm revision. Due to all these supply issues it is already like buying a 2.5 month old GPU.

    As a side note, Overclockers have a lot of these cards in stock, however they seem to be taking advantage of short supplies and extorting customers with a 20% markup.

    Re: Where to buy HD 5850 in UK

    Scan have both 5850's and 5870's in stock of the XFX variety at time of writing, in XXX and standard versions.
    Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
    CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
    TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
    for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.

    Extortionately priced. The wholesale cost (to SCAN from XFX) of this is somewhere in the region of £160.
