ATI Radeon HD 5970 Graphics Card Will Cost $599.99 Shipped!
Many of our readers have been curious about the price tag that will be on the upcoming ATI Radeon HD 5970 graphics card, but that question was answered over the weekend. ZipZoomFly seems to have jumped the gun and published pricing information on the HIS H597F1GDG Radeon HD 5970 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express x16 (2.0v) Video Card. It looks like $599.99 is what you will need to hand over to own one of the dual-GPU powered single slot graphics cards. NVIDIA's GT300 powered Fermi graphics card are expected to arrive in Q1 of next year, so the Radeon HD 5970 will be the fastest graphics card around! The card appears to have 2GB of GDDR5 memory and should be launching this week if the rumors are true.
Not much of a surprise, really. We all knew it would cost an arm and a leg.
Radeon HD 5970, or launch-day PS3? I think I'd still go for the video card...
