If you thought UK availability was bad, it looks to be even more grim for European buyers. Our chosen etailer - alternate.de - has Radeon HD 4890 graphics cards readily available from seven AMD partners, but not a single GeForce GTX 275 is currently in stock.

Over in the US, we're given etailers the benefit of the doubt as they're still waking up and are hopefully updating inventory. However, at the time of writing, neither newegg.com or tigerdirect.com have a GeForce GTX 275 listed on their respective websites.

Although our in-depth review slightly favours the technology behind NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 275, the card's poor availability may work to AMD's favour. Unless you're in the market for a Palit or Novatech-branded GTX 275, you're seemingly out of luck. AMD and its partners, on the other hand, have a variety of cards readily available.
