AMD has today unleashed the world's first DirectX 11 graphics cards with the introduction of its Radeon HD 5000 series. Want to know more about the cards themselves? Check out our in-depth review of the Radeon HD 5870, as well as our CrossFireX analysis.
If you've done all that, and you've decided to make a launch-day purchase, we're here to take a look at a handful of big-name retailers to see what you can expect to pay if you're planning on picking up a Radeon HD 5870 on day one. Furthermore, we want to know if AMD has learnt from the initial stock problems associated with prior product launches - including both the Radeon HD 4870 X2 in August 2008, and the Radeon HD 4770 earlier this year.
Please note that pricing is correct as of 10am, Wednesday September 23.
