Unlike last month's Radeon HD 5870, stock availability isn't an immediate problem for AMD's latest mid-range offering. The Radeon HD 5770 is widely available, and picking one up on launch day shouldn't be a problem.

In terms of pricing, we see the majority of retailers offering cards ranging from £130 - £145. Ebuyer, however, is the stand-out retailer as far as costs are concerned - it currently has Radeon HD 5770s available for less than £115. That's already something of a bargain, and one rarely seen on a launch day.
