AMD Radeon HD 7970 Cards Go On Sale Today

It’s CES time! You know what that means: a ton of new, awesome looking tech is going to be unveiled this week, some of which will never actually see the light of day, and the things that actually end up launching won’t hit the streets for a while yet. Before we dive too deeply into the future, let’s take a look at something that’s actually in the here and now. Today, Radeon HD 7970 graphics cards actually started shipping. Early adopters rejoice!

In case you missed it, we’ve already taken a look at the AMD Radeon HD 7970 and found it pretty impressive. So far, Gigabyte, Club 3D, XFX, Asus, PowerColor and HIS all have 7970 cards up for sale on Newegg.  Actually, those companies had models up for sale on Newegg; every single one is already out of stock on that site, even with their $550 to $600 price tags. A quick Google Shopping check shows that cards are still available elsewhere on the web, but usually carry even higher sticker costs.
