Probably can't until after the official release on the 19th.

The 7870 and 7850 reviewed are AMD ES versions and can not be sold. Don't hold your breath.

When the reviews are done on Engineering Samples, the boards can't be posted for sale. Technically, I think they still belong to the manufacturer and are on loan even though they never ask for them back.

Besides, if SKYMTL sold off his only GTX 680 for charity, what would he use for testing when the GTX 685 Super Ultra Mega Awesome Edition is released?

I hear the GTX685 SUMAE (pronounced sue-me) is going to be way overpriced, draw too much power, too big, too hot and a lousy overclocker. But, then again, I also hear strange voices when nobody is around, so maybe it’s just me

I was waiting for the 7870's but if they're engineering samples too then they aren't salable either.
