Correct me if I'm wrong, but ATI has not even released a 5700's line yet...

Nope, you're correct, the 5700 series isn't "out" yet. The NDA lifts within the next 8 days (educated guess, I know it is has at maximum a 11 day life left, tops), and you should find cards on the shelves at that time.

Sounds like someone pulling an "out of stock but expected back soon" scam to get pre-orders

Yeah, I'd wait and see what newegg has that card at once it actually comes out.

It's not a steal... it's a robbery of your money :P

Can these slower cards even benefit from a full gig?

I wouldn't say that the 5750 will be a slow card in any sense of the word.

I think the cost difference between 1GB and 512MB is so small now, it's not worth the saving to lose the "kudos" of it being a full gig - most people now call 512MB half a gig anyway and it doesn't sound as "good"

oh damn, you're right. Don't ask my why but for some reason I was thinking it was a 3570. :facepalm:
