Ati 5870

[MacNoobie]

So whats the deal with the 5870, still listed as unavailable on Apple and barely anyones selling it. I'm trying to get an updated Mac video card to replace an aging 8800GT and one before Cataclysm comes out.

Any ideas on getting a 5870, not against buying a PC version and flashing a Mac rom to it if it gets me a working card.

Help?

I know there is a specific thread for flashing a 4870 card, but where did you get the tutorial and also the firmware for 5870 to make it work with the Mac?

I'm beginning to think of flashing a PC card, because I'm so tired of this game of cat and mouse with Apples release of the official 5870 cards....
