Title: Newegg 5830 Post by: stapler117 on June 29, 2011, 06:31:39 PM Newegg has a ETA for more Sapphire 5830 stock on July 4th. Just an FYI.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102878 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102878) $110 Have fun. Title: Re: Newegg 5830 Post by: mike678 on June 29, 2011, 06:50:40 PM Sucks if your waiting on a 5830. The only way you'll get your hands on one is if you spend the whole july 4th sitting on newegg haha.
Title: Re: Newegg 5830 Post by: stapler117 on June 29, 2011, 06:53:46 PM Naw, I'm not waiting on one. I'll see if I can snag one and turn around and sell it on ebay ;) Come 12:01 AM PST, Newegg will be sold out. again.
Title: Re: Newegg 5830 Post by: mike678 on June 29, 2011, 06:59:18 PM The problem is newegg doesn't restock at 12:01 pst. They update their stock randomly. I purchased 2 5830's yesterday at 7 pm est and it was only in stock for 10 mins. A week or two ago I got two and they were in stock from 1 to 2 pm est. My point being you'll basically have to spend the whole July 4th holiday spent near a computer to guarantee you purchase one lol.

Title: Re: Newegg 5830 Post by: xane on June 29, 2011, 07:25:21 PM Should build a screen scraper that e-mails you when they are in. Then sell subscriptions :P
Title: Re: Newegg 5830 Post by: Mousepotato on June 29, 2011, 08:20:09 PM Well at least I know their auto-notify feature is worthless. I have auto-notifies on both 5830 models they list and I never received Emails for either one. And Newegg.com is whitelisted.
Title: Re: Newegg 5830 Post by: Mousepotato on June 29, 2011, 08:31:23 PM Yeesh and the $119 version is now $129!

Well that sucks. Yeesh and the $119 version is now $129! I saw that too. Newegg must have looked at ebay lol. Should build a screen scraper that e-mails you when they are in. Then sell subscriptions :P I see potential here... Title: Re: Newegg 5830 Post by: Parja on June 30, 2011, 01:17:01 AM I saw that too. Newegg must have looked at ebay lol. They actually have an algorithm that automatically adjusts prices on items based on demand, availability, and probably even prices on other sites.

Title: Re: Newegg 5830 Post by: stapler117 on July 01, 2011, 07:12:11 PM For those with linux in some form I wrote a script that will email you when they become available. I tried out the script and it detected that they were in stock, but curl gave an error that --ssl-reqd is not an option and did not send an email. I actually saw that they were in stock before I checked the forum and got a couple.https://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=24987.0 (https://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=24987.0) Title: Re: Newegg 5830 Post by: mike678 on July 01, 2011, 07:31:00 PM There was just 30 in stock 20 minutes ago or so. went out of stock about 5 mins ago.Title: Re: Newegg 5830 Post by: CanaryInTheMine on July 01, 2011, 07:41:37 PM There was just 30 in stock 20 minutes ago or so. went out of stock about 5 mins ago.it was amusing to watch inventory go in and out of stock for a 10 minute duration... I was able to snatch 2 of them... Title: Re: Newegg 5830 Post by: DELTA9 on July 04, 2011, 05:13:08 PM I wanna get a few of these cards hope they're in stock soon ;D
Title: Re: Newegg 5830 Post by: rethaw on July 04, 2011, 05:18:03 PM Try the script I linked to above. I was able to get one the other day, and a friend got 2. It seems they come in stock in small amounts occasionally.
Title: Re: Newegg 5830 Post by: pdawg on July 05, 2011, 01:06:23 AM Saphire 5830 xtremes are in stock right now! I just picked up 3
Title: Re: Newegg 5830 Post by: rethaw on July 05, 2011, 01:47:01 AM Saphire 5830 xtremes are in stock right now! I just picked up 3 Why does this one cost $20 more than the other one? Title: Re: Newegg 5830 Post by: stapler117 on July 05, 2011, 03:08:04 AM Because it's extreme? Aesthetically, it has a full HDMI port instead of a mini and it looks like there is a slightly bigger vent on the expansion port. It looks like it has a slightly different circuit board. I know this has been discussed elsewhere, but I doubt there is much of a performance difference. Still not a bad buy at $130.
Title: Re: Newegg 5830 Post by: sadpandatech on July 05, 2011, 03:17:48 AM Why does this one cost $20 more than the other one? From looking at the actual Sapphire site on these 2 variations of what is seemingly the very same card the only difference I can determine is the SAPPHIRE TriXX Utility is included with the Xtreme edition. They gave you that to tweak it but left the clocks the same out of the box. Pretty sure you can download that software for free... ;p On their site if you compare the 2 side by side they list the Xtreme has being Shader model 4.1 and the regular one as being the newer 5.0. weirdness. Also the regular has 2x DVI and one on the regular. Title: Re: Newegg 5830 Post by: stapler117 on July 05, 2011, 03:31:55 AM *I mean regular Display port vs the mini display port. They both have regular HDMI
and they are in stock FWI. Counting now... Title: Re: Newegg 5830 Post by: pdawg on July 05, 2011, 03:52:22 AM As far as I can tell, performance-wise they are the same. Funny the regular 5830s had an ETA of 07-04-11, but the Xtremes came in stock and the regular 5830's now have the ETA removed from their page. I wonder if this is just a marketing thing to charge more and they are going to drop the regular 5830's?
Title: Re: Newegg 5830 Post by: dalamchops on July 05, 2011, 03:56:27 AM the regular 5830s were instock earlier today.
Title: Re: Newegg 5830 Post by: stapler117 on July 05, 2011, 04:09:06 AM the regular 5830s were instock earlier today. They've been in and out of stock for the last few days too. Seems pretty random. The xtreme version is still in stock and its been thirty minutes. Maybe they got a real shipment of them? Title: Re: Newegg 5830 Post by: CydeWeys on July 05, 2011, 04:37:03 AM At this difficulty level with this exchange rate a 5830 will never pay for itself. Hence why I'm not buying any, and probably also why not a lot of other people are either, and thus why they're still in stock.
Title: Re: Newegg 5830 Post by: jme621 on July 05, 2011, 05:39:51 AM whats the difference between the xtreme and the regular one? quickly answer please the back sides look alot different if you compare the two pics Title: Re: Newegg 5830 Post by: airdata on July 05, 2011, 01:05:32 PM At this difficulty level with this exchange rate a 5830 will never pay for itself.

So, you're saying that people are going to stop buying mining hardware all together? Or is there another video card set up that can get you 1-1.2ghs for ~$450-500 ?

Just be quiet and agree with him, less competition for you =). Title: Re: Newegg 5830 Post by: Xenomorph on July 05, 2011, 10:01:04 PM It's a little confusing, but BOTH the Sapphire 5830 cards are the Xtreme versions.
The $109.99 card comes in a box labeled "Xtreme", and easily clocks to 1000 MHz with the TriXX utility. Me and a friend ordered these, and are loving them (we get up to 330 Mhash/s, stable). http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102878 The $129.99 (+ $7.56 shipping) card also comes in a box labeled "Xtreme". http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102946 The only differences I know of is that the $129 card has a full-sized DisplayPort connector, while the $109 card has the Mini-DisplayPort adapter (like a Mac). Honestly, the $109.99 card seems like the better deal. It is $27 cheaper than the other one, and has a more-common Mini-DisplayPort port. I already have adapters for that since I work with a bunch of Macs. I haven't seen anything other than the DisplayPort size on the $129 card that makes it any better. Title: Re: Newegg 5830 Post by: DELTA9 on July 06, 2011, 07:47:20 PM i have heard they will be in stock at newegg 2day
Title: Re: Newegg 5830 Post by: stapler117 on July 07, 2011, 06:25:15 PM i have heard they will be in stock at newegg 2day Well, now the $110 one is listed as deactivated. Again. And now they put $7.56 shipping on it. Thanks for all the RMA's guys...$137.56 shipped one is still there if you're into that. |
