ATI Radeon HD5870 "available" on Newegg.com
ATI Radeon 5870 List
$379 is a good starting price. And the 5850 will be $279. Nvidia has some catching up to do.

They really should have gone with 384bit or 512bit memory. these cards (apparently) have memory bandwitdth issues so if you get one OC the hell out of the memory.
