Payoff on this card is around 178 days -- expect to earn around $3/day.

Let's all hope Bitcoin is around and profitable for 6 more months...

178 days is FAST. I was looking at a payoff on my Core i7 of something like 23 years.  Glad I kept mining (well, for a while anyway).

It's driving me bonkers... my current rig has 2x 6870's ... i'd so love to swap them out for 2x 5970s but new egg don't ship to Australia.

I'm a call out computer tech and I e-mailed my supplier and included the link to newegg and asked if they can get these cards and they replied back saying "thanks for asking but sorry these are EOL already please look at the 6990 or similar" but those are always out of stock too... and the 5970's use so much less power...

^Just bought 2 for that reason considering my PSU can only handle 1.Will likely sell one if the price is right.

It's obvious the card's costs can be made up very quickly as it is the king of mining.Can't wait to see what it can do with the new GUI miner update and Phatk 2.2 when I get mine.

Wow, where in the world did they get these? Crazy.

This is by far the best high density buy you can find. I wish I wasn't electrically capped or I'd be all over this like white on rice, or something. EBay isn't a great idea though, what with the giant sell fees and all. You'd need to sell for around $600 to break even, which may or may not happen.

I randomly saw this too. I check the power tab in newegg and the 5970 was on the list(it never is) so I checked and it was on sale. I've never actually heard of newegg selling these at least since I got active in bitcoins around June.
