A READER REPORTS having seen a Diamond brand 4770 video card on the shelf at his local Fry's Electronics in Fountain Valley, California.
The 512MB DDR5, single-slot card was on sale at $129, our source said [Thanks Steve].
The 4770 cards are due - we think - to tip up tomorow, along with AMD's Athlon X2 7850 Black Edition, 2x 2.80GHz chips, which also happen to have appeared on the Interweb already.
The 7850 Black Edition is listed here for 71.79 euros and here for £60.89 inc VAT. µ
Fist out fab, first come to retail.
Say hello to the HD 5670. If AMD dials down the wattage a bit, it should keep the under 75W performance crown. After that, PCIe 2.0 adoption will be such that it won't much matter.
That frys drop the ball a lot. I go there often, and they had the gtx 295 out before the tda as well as the 4890. The 4770 was on the shelf last week in the corner. I wonder if they will get in trouble?
