Thread: ATI 5870 Pre-orders

At the moment there is not a set time period as these have been slowly filtering through in very small numbers (less than 10) from our suppliers once they have finally arrived through their doors. As such we cannot really guess at a timescale as some have been out of stock since launch, and some have slowly come into stock, allocated to pre-orders etc and then dispatched accordingly. ...

I too have one of these cards on back order. If we have received a Delayed Order Notification email with a date listed against the card would these normally be fairly accurate? cheers Jon

anyone from scan able to give any kind of hint as to the chances of getting one of these before the 7/8th Nov? the stock email i had said they were due in today but they haven't come in? many thanks Jon

Due in today means that they could land at any time up until 6pm at night. I've seen stock come in for items after I've gone home before now. Please can you provide me with the LN code of the one you are looking at so I can check on the systems here to see if there has been any updates. Best Regards,

heya Lee.. the LN number is LN28922. Originally i had selected the XFX version but was advised to switch to the Sapphire version when i originally made my complete order as you were apparently expecting a batch sooner but looks like that may not have been the case? Cheers Jon

We now have a large PO in place for the HD-587A-ZNF9 - 1GB XFX HD 5870 due 6th November. Due to the previous stock constraints, I wouldn't like to guarantee this date, however the PO has been placed and this is the date we have been given from the manufacturer.

Just some information for people that are enquiring about these graphics cards. http://www.digitimes.com/news/a20091030PD209.html TMSC are having issues with the 40nm wafer production. As such this is hampering the supply of the HD5800 series of graphics cards from ATI at the present time. Best Regards,

Thanks for keeping us updated Lee.

Any dates on Sapphire 5870 Lee? EVERYONE seems to be out of stock...

I'd like too know too since I have a PC awaiting build with it and getting hold of people at scan atm is impossible because they are swamped with queries just like ours
