The ATI 5800 cards (5850, 5870) are very hard to find right now. They are having problems producing enough chips to meet demand.
Just keep checking everywhere, multiple times per day until you find somewhere that has them in stock, I was lucky to find my at www.aria.co.uk a couple of weeks ago.
I'm not sure why XFX rate it at a 5.2Ghz memory clock. The ATI site rates it at 1.2 GHz. 5.2GHz would be impossible.
It's an excellent card btw :) Don't think twice about getting it if you can find one in stock.
that's certainly interior of limits. check it out on video games and notice what it gets to. something over 90C is pushing it. and that i tremendously doubt it gets there. The 5800 series runs cooler than the 4800 series which I easily have. Plus, its an XFX card so if something happens to it, they'll replace it, whether harm is from overclocking.
You may be confusing mhz with Gbps if you notice 5.2Gbps is 5200mbps the one at newegg IS the one you saw in the XFX site..I just checked...nice card!
