Possible confirmation of release date????

Store expecting stock 22nd Feb 2012

Additional Store Expecting Stock 22nd Feb

3rd Store expecting stock 22nd Feb 2012

I'll stop now, but unless all these stores are pushing the same generic date... 22nd looks quite promising.

Not sure on the pricing though. I've seen some stores saying anything from £445 to over £600.

So Moose, I guess the expected release of this could be.... Christmas. GRRRRRR
I have no graphics cards in my rig and it is crying out to be played.

I'm away next week in France so hopefully we'll have some news through the week. If not I may end up having to buy a standard 7970. I know MSI did an OC version which is the fastest yet... It will still have the tearing problem though.

ASUS I WANT TO GIVE YOU MY MONEY... PLEASE HURRY

Thanks Moose for the info.

I look forward to your review of the Asus HD7970-DC2T-3GD5. If they do indeed go on sale on 22 February, I would definitely like to know your views on how this card works to run three monitors in eyefinity. I am about to pull the trigger too.

Only two more days to go! :)

Certainly sir, I hope I can order it too on the 22nd here in Holland.

Well, here in Holland there are a few stores changed from 10+ days to 4 - 10 days. So I guess they're out on the market. But stocks aren't in apparently. :/

I bought a standard saphire 7970 instead today. I cant keep waiting for the direct cu cards. Also my saphire card was £410..... Direct cu ii will not be below £450 and then i will also need an additional two adapters... So looking close to £500.

I checked both web sites just now and there are no ASUS HD 7970 DirectCU II at Newegg,com or .ca today. Both show out of stock.

Asus HD7970-DC2T-3GD5 is not in stock in Denmark yet. They just changed expected delivery date to March 5th.

I've got one of my screens on RMA so I have the time to wait for the CUII card, since my 5870 doesn't support three monitors without adapters anyway.

Good luck with your regular card, I hope it works for you.
