ATI partners receiving more 5000 series cards

FUD Zilla reports AMD is shipping more RV8770 chips to its partners. Hopefully this will improve availability by Christmas and drive prices back towards the MSRPs.

The volumes of RV870 chips and finished cards for the high end is getting better. Partners have reported that they are getting more chips but that this is still not enough to ease overstretched demand. Basically, demand is still outstripping supply, however, it should be easier for you to get ATI 58x0 and 5970 card before Xmas.

We are quite sure that ATI is definitely going to win an important piece of the performance and high end market share, as in Q4 2009 Nvidia simply doesn’t have anything to fight it.
