Anyone has one of these for sale for a reasonable price please let me know. I will cover the shipping cost to Ireland.

It seems that I bought out all stock at reasonable prices from all UK etailers and retailers

Greedy bastard! You should be the one selling me one now! :)

lol, You do not want to buy it from me, since it would be the one with worst overclocking capability I've got.

Anyway 6990 is coming out any day now... and there is always an option of buying 2 6950's and unlocking them into 6970's.
How are the 69xx performing compared to the 59xx series? The chart under https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_Hardware_Comparison could use a small update ^^

5970s used to be $500 online (US) ... now I can't find them for that price anywhere  :(

Vladimir, are you really buying enough to cause a global shortage or are they just being phased out to make room for the 6990?

Yea looks, like I indeed bought out all stock in UK now and buying all the new stock which pops up both used and new.

Now buying a shipment of cards direct from manufacturers in China. Hopefully they can manufacture them fast enough. lol

So if you still want one I could sell one to you once I get a shipment at going price in UK.


Thanks for that. I managed to find one Sapphire in Poland for 500 euro. How much do you want for yours and what make is it (I would prefer Sapphire)?
