Over the past three weeks since AMD released the world’s fastest 40nm DirectX 11 graphics processor, we have been on an incredibly intent pursuit to locate any available stock within the US market and inform the enthusiast community within reasonable time thereafter. Unfortunately, the task has been anything but satisfying, as every new shipment of the infamous Radeon HD 5970 sells out on an average of 14.5 minutes, according to the latest analytic data we’ve received. It comes as no surprise that Newegg is the leading US shipment provider of the card and carries the largest assortment of AIB partner models for prospective consumers to choose.

The latest stock tracking alert data on the internet reveals that the world’s second largest etailer has carried stock of the Radeon HD 5970 for three consecutive days in a row now, beginning with the HIS H597F2GDG on Sunday, December 6, 2009 at 9:12pm EST and currently ending with the ASUS EAH5970/G/2DIS/2GD5 on December 8, 2009 at 2:12pm EST. As we mentioned two days after the card launched, Newegg officially began listing Radeon HD 5970 cards from PowerColor, HIS, Diamond, Gigabyte and Sapphire. However, only the Sapphire model (10020OCSR) was available at the time and it currently displays an ETA of December 15, 2009.
