Yesterday we came across some Hemlock specs and today our little price search engine-that-could scored some prices, too.

Although our price search engine is about as trustworthy as a heroin addict going cold turkey, it seems that the Radeon HD 5970 MSRP is €499, give or take a few euros, which the engine probably used to score some H.

The price is in line with our expectations. An HD 5850 will set you back anywhere between €200 to €230, while an HD 5870 costs around €300. As we said yesterday, the GPUs on the HD 5970 apparently run on HD 5850 clockspeeds, but they are not crippled and feature the same stream processor count as the ones used in the HD 5870. Basically, the HD 5970 is midway between, times two.

Sadly, AMD is still facing crippling Radeon HD 5800-series shortages and we're not sure it will manage to resolve them in time for the flagship HD 5970 launch.
