    XFX Radeon HD 5850

    Anyone know wtf is up with that card? I ordered it like a month or 2 ago and it still hasn't came in, and every website I got to says it's unavailable. Is it just that XFX can't supply the demand or just that I bought a card that was too buggy and they decided to take it off the shelves? There are no info about this on XFX website.

    So, you ordered a video card but it hasn't been delivered to your house yet? Maybe the FedEx driver left it in front of your door and someone stole your package? lol

    Check the website you ordered from, almost all of them will give you a way to track shipping when they send it. If they haven't sent that, then maybe they haven't sent the card. Then call the website and figure out what's going on.

    I actually bought it from local store. They told me 2 to 6 days. I went back couple of days ago and asked again, they pretty much said "idk, we'll call you".

    The annoyance isn't really the time it takes to get here but the fact that I can't figure out why. I'm really curious to know if it is because they took it off the shelves because of a defect or some shit.

    Why the hell are you going to a local store and having it shipped to you?

    Because it's the local store actually ordering it. I pay them, they order it, they give it to me, we live happily ever after.

    I don't, and it's a "local store". It actually has about 20 stores around quebec.
