Is AMD done making GPUs for 5000 series cards?  Cuz I was asking someone how long they think the max time on AMD making a GPU, selling it to a manufacturer like sapphire, and them making it into a card and then getting it to distributers would take.  It turns out, it's a long time Tongue but he brought up the point that they may not be making 5 series GPUs at all anymore since 6000 came out.  Pretty much all 6000 series cards are inferior in MH/s/$ and MH/s/watt except the 6970 and that's a little expensive for my tastes so that would suck.  Anyone know for sure what the state of 5830 GPU production is?

I got 2 of the 5830's from new egg when I got another gd70(5slot) motherboard.   I have had a hard time making them work right.  I dont think it is the same card any more .  http://www.neweggbusiness.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102946

I am considering sending them back...  but it is difficult to make myself put them in the mail..  thinking of trying them again.....

anyone else having trouble with the new sapphire 5830?

With demand for the 58xx series cards so high, you'd think AMD would restart production.  I find it hard to believe they've stopped though.
