“Speaking of disappointments, the graphics card world has more than its fair share this holiday season. As we’ve touched on before, AMD’s new Radeon HD 5800-series cards remain extremely hard to track down, and poor availability has caused prices to rise a bit. Even though they offer exceptional performance, it’s hard to recommend something that you can’t buy. Therefore we’re going to include these boards as Honorable Mentions until they become easier to find. The Radeon HD 5800s aren’t the only cards disappearing and getting more expensive, though. The Radeon HD 4850 has risen far above the $100 level we’ve enjoyed it at for months, and is even becoming hard to find at higher prices. The Radeon HD 4870 and GeForce 9600 GSO also appear to be going extinct with low availability, and the GeForce GTX 275 isn’t faring much better. These changes (specifically, the disappearing $100 Radeon HD 4850) have had a profound impact on our recommendations this month, especially around the $100 price point.” (Tomshardware, 2009)
